Volumetric Data Capture

One flight captures every stockpile on site with the overlap and coverage volume calculations need, without anyone climbing a pile or walking an active yard.

Overview

We fly stockpiles, pits, and material yards on your schedule and deliver organized imagery to the licensed land surveyor who calculates your volumes. Regular flights build a consistent visual record of the site over time.

Good to know

Who calculates the volumes

In California, measuring the shape of the ground and the piles on it from aerial photos is land surveying, so volume calculations must be done by or under a licensed land surveyor. We capture the data, and your surveyor, or one we refer you to, produces the volume report.

Safer than walking piles

Aerial capture keeps people off stockpiles and out of the way of loaders and haul trucks. We coordinate with your yard on traffic and timing before we launch.
