Drone Stockpile Analysis & Volume Measurement

Know What You Have. Measured from Above.

Aerial stockpile measurement and volume documentation for construction sites, quarries, aggregate yards, and material storage areas.

About This Service

What It Is

We fly your material yard or site and process the imagery into a 3D surface model, allowing us to calculate approximate volumes for each stockpile — sand, gravel, aggregate, soil, mulch, grain, or debris. Measurements are captured in a single flight without sending anyone onto or around the piles, and repeat flights let you track material consumption over time.

Common Use Cases

Monthly or quarterly inventory counts
Cut and fill / earthwork documentation
Material consumption tracking over time
Aggregate and quarry pile volumes
End-of-period inventory reporting
Debris and spoil pile documentation
Progress reconciliation against estimates

* Stockpile volumes are derived from aerial photogrammetry and are provided as documentation and estimation support only. Results are approximate and are not licensed survey work or a certified quantity survey. For legally binding or contractual quantity certification, consult a licensed land surveyor.
