Stockpiles being measured for volume by a drone

Stockpile Volume Measurement

Keep track of inventory using drones. Aggregate measurements are more efficient when work remains uninterrupted.

Let's talk

Instant and accurate data

Accurate stockpile volume measurements can be essential in keeping construction on budget. However, typical methods require lots of tools and manpower. Using drones, we can calculate your stockpile volume in one easy flight. Leaving work below uninterrupted.

What can stockpile volume measurement detect?

Tonnage

Calculate the weight of your stockpile, faster and more cost-efficiently than using traditional methods.

Cut and Fill measurements

Get quick and precise readings on cut-and-fill measurements, allowing for seamless tracking and future ordering.

Measurements over time

Record and compare your volume measurements over time, more cost-efficiently and with fewer man-hours.

Supply chain logistics

Easily streamline your supply chain logistics with high-definition and ultra-manageable reporting.

Current and potential issues

Find all anomalies and potential problems that might otherwise go undetected.

Much more

The applications of stockpile volume measurement in domestic and industrial environments are almost limitless. Ask us what it can do for you.

1. Stay on time and budget

As drone stockpile calculations can be done so easily, they can also be done more frequently. This is a cost-effective way of keeping track of a site's materials and aggregate. Frequent flights allow for more accurate time and budget allocation, streamlining the entire construction process.

Keeping all your inventory on track is invaluable when making estimations. Know ahead of time when supplies are running low - allowing you to keep your timeline on track, with no delays.

5. Reassure stakeholders

By choosing stockpile volume measurement via a drone, you can set your stakeholders' minds at ease with the knowledge that it is being monitored by the best technology currently available.

6. Reducing downtime

By creating stockpile measurements using a drone, there is no need to halt or reduce any on-site operations. You and your team are then free to inspect the results, again, without having to interrupt any other day-to-day tasks.

Why choose stockpile volume measurement with a drone?

Detect hidden problems

We use cutting-edge technologies to detect problems that would otherwise be invisible. These include 4K ultra-HD photography/video, LIDAR and thermal imaging.

Hard-to-reach spaces

Drones aren't just for flying up in the sky. Our specialist drones can fly into confined spaces like chimneys and boilers to look for issues that would otherwise be inaccessible.

No downtime

Downtime is expensive and inconvenient. Using a drone, our engineers can conduct a thorough survey with little to no downtime.

No risk to your assets

Our equipment won't touch or even go close to your assets. Our high-resolution cameras use optical zoom to give extreme close-up views while staying a safe distance away.

Quick turnaround

We understand that you need answers fast. We can deliver a plain-English report with clear-cut conclusions in days. Then, you can take the steps you need to and get back to doing what you do best.

Rapid response

Need us there in a hurry? No problem. Let us know what you need, and we can be there on the same day. After all, sometimes the problem just won't wait.

Real-time consulting

Sometimes the brief can change even in real-time. If need be, you can be stood there right next to the drone operator, directing them as the situation develops.

Safety

The safety of your personnel and our own is paramount, and we place it at the forefront of our company culture. Ask us about our HSSE systems and practices.

We use stockpile volume measurement for these services

Stockpile volume measurement is incredibly versatile, and we use it in various types of inspections serving multiple industries.
