Aerial Surveys for Stockpile Volume Calculation
Using industry leading RTK drones with ground control, we are able to accurately measure stockpile inventory on site. The process is quick and extremely cost effective. A must have for any site dealing with large volumes of material.
Use Cases
The use of drones for volume calculation is expanding across industries, providing valuable insights, enhancing efficiency, and contributing to better resource management and environmental understanding
Mining and Quarrying:
- Drones equipped with LiDAR or photogrammetry sensors can efficiently survey mining sites and quarries to calculate stockpile volumes.
- Regular drone surveys help monitor changes in the volume of extracted materials over time.
Construction Sites:
- Drones are employed to survey construction sites and assess the volume of earthworks, cut and fill operations, and material stockpiles.
- Accurate volume calculations aid in project planning, resource management, and progress tracking.
Agriculture:
- Drones equipped with multispectral or hyperspectral sensors can assess crop health and monitor changes in terrain.
- Farmers use volume calculations to manage soil erosion, estimate crop yields, and optimize irrigation strategies.
Landfill Management:
- Drones assist in monitoring landfill sites, calculating the volume of waste materials, and assessing the overall capacity and efficiency of the landfill.
- Regular surveys help authorities plan for waste disposal and optimize landfill space.
Environmental Monitoring:
- Drones are employed for environmental studies, including assessing changes in land topography, erosion, and vegetation cover.
- Volume calculations help researchers understand ecosystem dynamics and plan conservation efforts.
Forestry:
- Drones equipped with LiDAR sensors can calculate the volume of timber in forests.
- This information is valuable for sustainable forest management, timber harvesting planning, and biodiversity conservation.
Infrastructure Inspections:
- Drones are used to inspect critical infrastructure such as bridges, dams, and pipelines.
- Volume calculations assist in evaluating the structural integrity of these assets and planning necessary maintenance or repairs.
Flood Modeling:
- Drones contribute to flood modeling by surveying terrain and calculating volumes of water bodies.
- This aids in flood risk assessment, early warning systems, and disaster response planning.
Disaster Response:
- In the aftermath of natural disasters, drones can assess the volume of debris and damaged structures, aiding in recovery efforts.
- Rapid volume calculations support efficient resource allocation during emergency response.
Precision Agriculture:
- Drones assist in precision agriculture by surveying fields and calculating volumes of fertilizers, pesticides, or water needed for optimal crop management.
- This leads to more efficient resource utilization and sustainable farming practices.
