Chalice Mining wanted a better way to organise GIS data, manage data collection and track field operations for their soil sampling programs. They wanted to improve data reliability, efficiency, and standardisation, while making the system easy for their teams to use.
We implemented GIS Pro’s Enterprise GIS Solution to meet these goals.
What we delivered
- Automated Spatial Database: Public data like geology, tenements, and environmental datasets update automatically. This reduces manual work and ensures data is always current.
- Field Data Collection with MerginMaps: Teams now collect data directly on their mobile devices, even offline. Pre-configured forms minimise errors and save time.
- Complete Autonomy: Chalice staff can manage their own data using QGIS and MerginMaps, making updates or adjustments when needed.
Objectives we addressed
Chalice wanted a system that could:
- Ensure reliable, validated data collection.
- Streamline the process, reducing time spent on admin tasks.
- Be easy for field teams to use, even with minimal training.
- Adapt on the go, like adding new sample points in the field.
- Standardise workflows across all sampling programs.
Added value: Safety Monitoring in Real-time
We also set up web maps to show project progress and improve safety. These maps integrate with Garmin InReach devices, so managers can track crew locations. The map also pulls in real-time hazard information from Emergency WA, helping the team avoid risks.
