LiDAR / stockpile reconciliation
Recurring stockpile and pit-volume reconciliation from LiDAR-derived elevation surfaces, with tonnage automatically checked against ERP inventory records.

Most site data gets captured, but never turned into executive-ready decision data.
Novina Data Innovations converts drone imagery and LiDAR point clouds into project intelligence for mining and infrastructure teams. Site elevation data works too.
Crews fly the site and run the LiDAR scan. The orthomosaic gets uploaded, and then someone has to eyeball it against a plan set to guess how far along things are. By the time a schedule slip or a boundary problem shows up in a status meeting, it's already a change order.
We don't hand you a raw point cloud and disappear.
Earthwork
Accurate Percent complete.
A pad can look 100% graded by footprint while still sitting a meter short of design elevation.

Flags before they're expensive.
Stay one step ahead by getting flags before problems turn into change orders. Alerts go out over Slack and email, with thresholds you configure.

Industry context isn't a nice-to-have. It's the job.
Generic dashboards don't move a mine or a heavy-civil program.
Infrastructure & Heavy Civil
Geospatial risk monitoring
Progress and schedule-variance tracking across large linear or multi-phase programs, plus permit-boundary and buffer-zone compliance checks.
Industrial Construction
Volumetric earthwork
Cut/fill and volumetric percent-complete for owners of large industrial builds, layered on top of whatever drone or LiDAR program is already in place.
Aggregates & Quarries
Automated compliance flags
Standing water and retention pond capacity checks computed automatically from elevation data. Erosion is flagged the same way.
Capture
Upload what you already fly.
The same pipeline runs whether it's your first site or your fiftieth.
Drone orthomosaic · LiDAR DEM
Four steps from raw capture to a number leadership trusts.
How it works
Upload what you already fly
Drone orthomosaic footprints as GeoJSON or LiDAR-derived elevation grids. A single raw photo works too.
Exact percent complete
Image recognition and polygon overlap measure footprint completion. Volumetric cut/fill and stockpile tonnage are computed alongside.
AI Powered Schedule Forecasting
A logistic growth model fit across your full capture history projects a realistic completion date.
Flags before they're expensive
Boundary encroachment, standing water, pond capacity, and schedule slippage are checked automatically.
Platform
Detailed Analysis from a photo
Upload a planned-site GeoJSON and an as-built capture, and Novina computes completion with 99% accuracy.
Computer vision reads grading and structures straight from the imagery.
Forecasts that follow the real shape of construction progress
Progress isn't linear. Slow mobilization gives way to a fast middle before the slow punch-list finish.
Novina fits a logistic S-curve across your full capture history instead of drawing a straight line, and it flags stalled features along with schedule variance.

About
Built by the person who used to do this by hand.
Novina Data Innovations was founded on a simple premise: mining and infrastructure teams aren't short on site data, they're short on a reliable way to turn that data into a decision.
Before Novina, Makan designed geospatial platforms and LiDAR recognition systems at Hatch that eliminated manual re-scans and hours of labor. That work showed him the gap Novina now fills.
