VOLUME CALCULATION

Volume calculations with drones — mass surveys with centimetre accuracy

Drone-based volume calculations produce accurate measurements of excavated materials, fill materials and stockpile volumes quickly and cost-effectively. With RTK accuracy, we achieve centimetre-level precision without extensive field surveys.

What's included in our volume calculation service?

• Excavated materials — precise volume calculation for excavations and cuts
• Fill materials — volume calculation for embankments and levelling
• Stockpile measurements — volume of soil material stockpiles, quarry or woodchips
• RTK accuracy — centimetre-level precision with GPS reference
• Quarries — blasting volume tracking and reporting
• Construction sites — continuous volume tracking during the project

Why choose drone-based volume calculations?

Traditional field surveying is slow, expensive and requires personnel on site. Drone-based volume calculations cover a large area in an hour — without stopping operations. Results are comparable to traditional methods and often more accurate over large areas.

• Fast results — entire area measured in a single flight
• Cost-effective compared to traditional field surveying
• Safe — no personnel in hazardous environments
• Repeatable — regular measurements for project monitoring

The delivery process

1. Site assessment — we review measurement needs and site characteristics
2. Drone flight — survey flight with RTK accuracy
3. Volume calculation — volume calculations from 3D model or point cloud
4. Report — clear mass management table and visualisations
