CMPDI has established a full-fledged Geomatics division to form a core multi-disciplinary group dedicated to Remote Sensing, GIS, GPS, Digital photogrammetry, LiDAR, Terrestrial and Mine Survey for integrated natural resources survey and management. Geomatics division has a professional group of multidisciplinary team having rich experience in the field of airborne and satellite data processing, GIS, Surveying, Photogrammetry, Geology, civil engineering, Computer Science and Digital Image Processing.
CMPDI is extensively using the geospatial technology in all the three stages of mining i.e. pre-mining, syn-mining and post mining ranging from topographical survey, mineral exploration, land use planning, watershed management, excavation measurement to slope stability, ground subsidence measurement, coal mine fire mapping, environmental management, land reclamation and mine closure monitoring. Besides mineral sector, CMPDI is using this technology for locating potential pit head and coastal thermal power Station (TPS) sites, reservoir siltation, sodic land mapping and coastal zone management amongst others
Considering the best application of geospatial technology in mining sector, Coal India/CMPDI has been conferred Geospatial World Excellence Award- 2012 at Amsterdam, The Netherlands for Application of Geospatial Technology in Mining.
