Volumetric Stockpile Measurements

Measuring stockpiles traditionally, using surveying tools and Surveyors can be a laborious and time-consuming process. However, utilising drones to carry out the task enables your stock volume measurements to be completed quickly and a lot more accurate than traditional methods.

RTK Drones aligned with Ground Control Points give highly accurate measurement results from the air. With Progress Surveys we can accurately measure the volume of aggregate stockpile workflows and movement. UAV’s are able to take topographical surveys in a fraction of the time than has been previously possible, giving you, the client greater control over your assets.

Stockpile Usage Tracking

Civil Engineering and Construction Companies across the world frequently monitor their stockpiles. Using RTK drones can greatly improve the speed, accuracy and delivery of volume measuring stockpile data. Here at Drone Site Surveys, we offer daily, weekly and monthly surveys, enabling you to monitor and track your aggregates, consistently.

It’s not just about tracking the usage, we use our photogrammetry software and drones to provide measurements of installations combined with stockpiles. With these volume measurements, you can easily track any mismanagement of your stocks. Start using drones and you will never be uninformed again. We can give you exact data, aligned with time-lapse management, which will visually display the movement of the stockpiles between visits. This could lead to an increase in site productivity and job profitability.

Photogrammetry Software

We’ve briefly touched on this, however, this is the lifeblood of what we do. Without photogrammetry software and RTK drone technology, we would be unable to measure and turn our aerial footage into data that can be processed.

Dependent on your requirements, we use a number of different software platforms for our deliverable data options. Every photogrammetry package that we use offers slightly different deliverables, however, they all offer topographical and measurement options. We can also create 3D rendered models that allow for, as well as the stockpile measurement, the degree angles of slopes, and the depths of any trenches on site.

Accurate Volumetric Measurements With Drones

Measuring volumes is not just about stockpiles, there are a many other items you may wish to measure. As Construction Line Gold members, we have been commissioned to cover many different items for volumetric measurements. Customers have asked for measurements of roofs, land and building coverage. Our RTK equipped drones and highly accurate ground control points allow us to complete these measurements with an accuracy of 1cm. Not only that, we can survey your land and take multiple measurements. If you decide you need more measurements of the same site, we can measure these without the need for an extra site visit saving you time and money on multiple visits for surveyors to take measurements.
