Underground mine planning isn’t just about drawing tunnels—it’s about managing complexity. From longwall layouts to room-and-pillar design, planners must constantly balance geological data, production schedules, and design accuracy—all under intense pressure to deliver quickly.
Yet, traditional CAD tools weren’t built with underground mining in mind. They lack the industry-specific functionality you need to work efficiently. Integrating survey, scheduling, and geological data? That’s often manual, time-consuming, and error-prone.
It doesn’t have to be that way.
Meet MineScape Underground Coal
MineScape Underground Coal is a purpose-built CAD-based solution designed specifically for underground mining operations. Whether you’re working on longwall layouts or planning shaft access, it brings speed, precision, and real-time 3D visualization to your workflow.
With template-driven automation, fully integrated 2D/3D design tools, and seamless connection to geological and scheduling data, MineScape Underground Coal takes your planning to the next level.
Accelerate underground mine planning with powerful CAD and 3D visualization tools.
