Stockpile and Earthwork Measurement

Aerial volumetric measurement of stockpiles, cut and fill, and earthwork progress with a documented method and stated accuracy band.

The problem

What this service addresses

Material volumes are estimated by eye or by truck count. Inventory reporting and earthwork payment applications rest on numbers nobody can reproduce.

Outcomes

What you get out of it

  • Reproducible volume figures with documented method
  • Period-over-period earthwork movement tracking
  • Inventory support for reporting and reconciliation

Capture scope

What we capture

  • Aerial photogrammetric capture of the measured area
  • Ground control where accuracy requirements demand it
  • Surface definition for base and toe conditions

Deliverables

What you receive

  • Volume report per pile or region with method and accuracy statement
  • Surface models and contour outputs
  • Cut and fill comparison against a prior or design surface
  • Annotated orthomosaic

Workflow

How the engagement runs

  1. 01

    Accuracy scoping

    Set required accuracy band and control approach.

  2. 02

    Capture

    Aerial capture with control as specified.

  3. 03

    Processing

    Surface generation and volume computation.

  4. 04

    Professional review

    Method, control and computation review.

  5. 05

    Reporting

    Volume report published to the workspace.

Ideal clients

Who this is for

  • Aggregate and materials operators
  • Civil contractors and earthwork subcontractors
  • Owners reconciling material inventory

Add-ons

Optional extensions

  • Monthly inventory programme
  • Design surface comparison
  • Density factor application using client-supplied factors

Professional review

Every deliverable is checked by a qualified reviewer against the capture record before release. Review confirms that measurements, annotations and evidence links are traceable to source data and that stated accuracy and intended use are documented on the deliverable itself.

Limitations and boundaries

  • Volumes are computed to a stated accuracy band and are not survey-grade legal quantities unless performed under a licensed surveyor's responsibility.
  • Tonnage requires client-supplied density factors; we do not determine material density.
  • Base surfaces beneath material are modelled or client-supplied and are documented as such.
