Relied upon by cadastral and topographic surveyors, engineers, architects and drafters, CAD software is used to create and manage plans or projects in a digital format. The software available on the market today has come a long way from the early years of computer programs. In this article we’ll step through the evolution of civilcad, a popular and Australian-developed solution that has a long history and is today known as MAGNET Office, which now forms part of the MAGNET Systems Workflow. Cliff Stewart is a land and mine surveyor with more than 30 years’ experience in land development projects.

In a large Australian coal mine, a significant crack developed in one of the main walls of the pit. Finding a robust platform that could reliably measure any deviation in the wall and alert management immediately was critical to mitigate safety and production risk. Traditional optical monitoring techniques utilising a total station could be used in these scenarios. Although accurate, the manual operation of such an instrument would not generate the frequency of data required and increase the level of risk by requiring its manual operation. An autonomous optical solution would mitigate this but with a greater footprint of infrastructure and cost. Wireless, autonomous monitoring In this scenario, the Senceive wireless monitoring solution was established on site to
