At present, in the KOMPAS application of the Department of Mining and Geology, elevations of the boundary pillar points of the mines are not available. For the appraisal and approval of mining plans, geologists should have proper information regarding contour levels in the applied area. If the elevations of the boundary pillars are known, it will be easy to understand terrain characteristics. In KOMPAS, pillar-to-pillar distance is also not available. It is easy to conduct scrutiny of the survey map if the distance between boundary pillars is known. It is observed that many Recognized Qualified Persons (RQPs) rely on Google Map elevation data for the preparation of mining plans. While there are concerns about the accuracy of elevation data provided by Google, computation of mineral reserves in an applied area can be calculated if the slope of the land is known. There is no requirement for absolute elevation values to determine the slope of the terrain. The only thing to be taken care of is regarding the elevation values used during the preparation of mining plans, schemes of mining, and final mine closure plans. All these documents are to be based on a common benchmark.
This tool has been developed to display elevation values of the ground surface at each boundary pillar and also the distance between consecutive boundary pillars. The elevation values displayed are Google Map elevation values, and distance is computed based on latitude and longitude values of the pillars. Just upload the KOMPAS-generated KML/KMZ file, and you will be able to see the elevation values in meters above mean sea level, distance value in meters, and also the area of the quarry. This application is specially designed to work only for KOMPAS KMZ files.
