Stockpile Volumetrics

Accurate inventory data. No one on the pile.

Drone-based stockpile measurement for concrete plants, crusher facilities, and aggregate yards. Sub-inch RTK positioning, 1-3% volume accuracy, delivered same day, with zero disruption to your operations.

The Problem

Manual estimates carry 10-25% error.

That's tens of thousands of dollars in unaccounted material every quarter. Traditional measurement crews cost $3,000+ per visit, take days, and shut down loader traffic. Most plants measure quarterly at best, making purchasing decisions on stale numbers.

Our Solution

Full yard captured in under one hour.

We fly your entire operation capturing millions of surface data points with RTK-grade positioning. Every pile is individually measured and reported in cubic yards. You receive a clean PDF report with ortho imagery and a 3D surface model.

What We Deliver

Inventory data you can trust

Recurring or one-time measurement services for material producers and heavy civil contractors.

01

Stockpile Volumetrics

Per-pile volume reports in cubic yards. Compare against purchasing records to catch shrinkage and reconcile inventory across your yard.

02

Monthly Monitoring

Recurring flights on a set schedule. Track material movement, depletion rates, and accumulation with change reports between cycles.

03

Site Mapping

Topographic data capture for expansion, permitting, drainage, or new pad construction. As-builts, progress documentation, and grade verification.

How It Works

Four steps, no disruption

01

Schedule

Pick a day. No site prep needed. Your loaders, trucks, and crews keep running as normal.

02

Fly

RTK drone captures your full yard from above in under an hour. Millions of surface data points, sub-inch positioning.

03

Process

3D surface model built from the capture. Each pile is individually delineated, measured, and quality-checked.

04

Deliver

Per-pile volume report in cubic yards, ortho imagery, and 3D surface model. Typically same-day turnaround.

Tonnage Conversions Included

All volumes are reported in cubic yards. When you provide your material bulk densities, we convert to tons per pile for direct reconciliation against purchasing and sales records. You know your materials best; we measure the volume precisely.
