The article reviews the key tasks of surveying and geodetic support of mining operations at Lebedisnky GOK (Mining and Processing Plant), the structure of the surveying service, its modern equipment and innovation technologies based on geoinformation systems. The authors generalize the experience gained by the Lebedinsky GOK surveying service in practical application of the state-of-the-art equipment for measurement and computation: satellite systems produced by Leica; surface laser scanning system Rigel VZ400, software support RigelRiScanPro, geoinformation systems GEOMIX, Credo DAT. The service personnel have automated workstations. Introduced in 2013 for mine planning, Surpac program was used to create the dynamic 3D model of the open pit mine and the block model of the deposit. The long-term production development strategy includes further improvement of methods and technologies for surveying support of mining operations and subsoil protection.
