AEI service

Technical application where ground access is limited

The service combines terrain assessment, solution definition, flight planning and application control. The strategy is adjusted to area geometry, treatment objective, climate and operational restrictions.

TailingsSlopesCrestsLarge surfaces
01

Access to complex areas

Treats slopes, crests and surfaces where ground application faces greater restrictions.

02

Planned coverage

Routes and work sectors are defined in advance to organize application and record the treated area.

03

Reduced interference

The operation can be organized by sector to reduce equipment traffic over the treated area.

Tailings and slopes

A methodology adapted to the surface

The operation is divided into sectors to control routes, coverage and product use. Before every application, the conditions affecting safety and treatment performance are reviewed.

  • Surface dust control on deposits and tailings
  • Treatment of slopes and hard-to-reach inclines
  • Localized application on edges, crests and critical zones
  • Technical records for inspection and monitoring

Service methodology

From assessment to monitoring

The feasibility of each operation is confirmed according to the project’s technical, climatic, operational and regulatory conditions.

  1. 01Survey of the area, access routes and operational restrictions
  2. 02Definition of product, dosage, routes and flight sectors
  3. 03Controlled aerial application under authorized conditions
  4. 04Work records, inspection and monitoring program

Feasibility assessment for Andean projects

AEI assesses collaboration opportunities with mining companies, engineering firms and contractors outside Chile. Each proposal must address local qualification, safety, climate and operational requirements before defining a pilot.

Frequently asked questions

Before planning the flight

What information does AEI need to assess a project?

Location, approximate area, slopes, access routes, treatment objective, climate, safety restrictions and available information about the site.

Does this page mean the service is already authorized in every country?

No. Technical and commercial feasibility, local requirements, logistics and operational authorizations must be reviewed for each project.

Technical assessment

Let’s plan the application

Provide the location, approximate area, slope, current condition and treatment objective. The AEI team will review the information before recommending a strategy.
