Core Scanning, Digital Platform, Data Integration, and Facility Modernization Services

The Vendor is required to provide core scanning, digital platform, data integration, and facility modernization services to modernize the province’s geoscience data infrastructure and unlock the value of its geological assets.
- Areas
• Core scanning
• Digital platform and web portal
• Historical data digitization
• Core facility modernization
• Delivery and partnership models
- Key program objectives
• High-throughput, high-quality scanning of drill core
• Processing of scanning data from drill core
• User friendly public platform hosting geoscience data
• Efficient digitization and integration of legacy and new datasets
- Data ownership and principles
• Publicly available
• Will be owned by the province
• Delivered in open, non-proprietary formats
- Technical approach - core scanning
• Scanning technologies propose (minimum and optional)
• Outputs are generated at each stage
• Level of automation (e.g., al/ml) is feasible and reliable
• QA/QC approach ensures consistent and reproducible results
• Percentage of core anticipate being scan able and why
• The key trade-offs between cost, speed, and data quality
• Scanning throughput (m/day) can be achieved under realistic conditions
• Total program duration would you estimate fork
• The key drivers of schedule risk
• Operational workflow (e.g., material handling, hangli staging, cleaning) is required
• Throughput be scaled (e.g., staffing, equipment, multiple lines)
- Historical data digitization and integration
• Approach do you recommend to prioritize datasets for digitization
• Legacy data quality be assessed and standardized
• Legacy datasets be linked to scanned core data
• Level of automation can be applied to digitization (e.g., OCR, AL extraction).
