Dzhamgyr Mine – Project Implementation in Extreme Conditions

city of Almaty, Kazakhstan Facts ProjectWise and Bentleyā€™s open applications streamlined workflows and communication, optimizing scheduling across 500 worksites. Leveraging Bentleyā€™s modeling and visualization software facilitated simultaneous design and construction. Project Bringing Gold Production into Kyrgyzstan To eliminate exporting ore for processing and enable gold production within Kyrgyzstan, a decision was made in 2018 to build a gold plant in the mountainous Talas region, nearby the Dzhamgyr mine. The USD 75 million project included constructing the main building, a crushing and screening complex, a laboratory, storage pond, tailings storage facility, poison and ore storage areas, shift camps for operating personnel, and new roadways and accesses. AAEngineering delivered the winning bid for this engineering, procurement, and construction project that was located in a dangerously seismic area. In addition to the altitude and seismicity complications, AAEngineering had to overcome technical, engineering, and coordination challenges, as well as meet strict environmental standards amid a short construction period and an ensuing global pandemic. ā€œWithout using ContextCapture and OpenRoads, it is difficult to imagine the possibility of designing the multistage construction sites, on-site engineering works, roads, and highway spirals.ā€ Andrey AksyonovDirector of Information Modeling DepartmentAAEngineering Group Solution Open Applications Provide Integrated Solution AAEngineering selected ProjectWise

Point Cloud vs 3D Reality Mesh

The possibilities for data acquisition in the last 20 years have changed dramatically, as well as the possibilities for data storage (from 1MB memory in PCMCIA cards in the early 90s to the microSDHC cards with even 1TB of memory). This huge growth opened a new chapter in the measurement and survey worlds. We are no longer limited to just picking single, characteristic points. Now we can store the whole geometry, not only of the single objects(i.e. buildings) but of entire cities and countries with their digital terrain models.
