Overview

Stockpile volumes and cut/fill analysis

Volumetric surveys are used for multiple reasons, mostly on quarries and construction sites, for accurate recording of stockpile volumes or cut/fill analysis.

We use a mixture of Trimble total stations, GNSS rovers and laser scanners depending on the safety of the task at hand. The information gathered is then input into terrain modelling software for processing to produce volumes.

  • Stockpile volumes

    Accurate recording of the volume of material held on site, for quarry and construction stock.

  • Cut/fill analysis

    Volumes of material to be removed or brought in across a site, measured against a survey.

  • The right instrument for the site

    Trimble total stations, GNSS rovers and laser scanners — chosen depending on the safety of the task at hand.

  • Terrain modelling

    The information gathered is input into terrain modelling software for processing to produce volumes.

Useful information

Volumetric surveys, explained

What is a volumetric survey?

A volumetric survey is a form of topographic survey that aims to collect any information needed to produce an accurate volume for a stockpile or cut/fill amount.

Benefits & usage

Volumetric surveys are mainly instructed by quarry operators and construction companies for important information regarding volumes of materials. This enables accurate stock information for monthly or yearly figures.

  • Quarry operators
  • Construction companies
  • Monthly stock figures
  • Yearly stock figures

Procedure & deliverables

Our volumetric surveys can provide important data and figures in a number of formats.

  • Topographic survey in CADShowing the locations of any materials measured.
  • Excel spreadsheetIndividual volumes and material types shown.
  • 3D modelsModels for volumetric uses, which we can also provide in RCP format.
