Stockpile Volume Calculation
Using drones to calculate stockpile volume measurements makes it easy to compare your current stockpile volumes to previous surveys and track site progress. You can also compare stockpile surveys to a final grade design file to calculate how much material you still need to add or remove.
With geo-referenced images captured by a drone flying above your worksite, I can use photogrammetry to generate a 3D map of your site with accurate measurement . Drone survey visualization can leverage that accuracy to take a variety of measurements, including stockpile volumes.
By flying a drone to measure stockpile volumes instead of sending someone out to traverse a dangerous site, site management can track their inventories and site progress in a faster, safer, more reliable way.
Managers spend much of their time trying to answer questions about quantities. How much is sitting in the stockyard right now? How much is going in the crusher or mill? How to calculate stockpile volume accurately? What do you still need to extract? How much have you moved since last Thursday? What was its true value, and did you sell it for the right price?
