Civil Volumetrics

What We Do

We specialize in civil volumetrics using the state-of-the-art DJI L2 LiDAR unit mounted on our DJI M350 RTK drone platform. This advanced scanning technology provides exceptionally accurate measurements for a wide range of applications, ensuring your projects stay on track and within budget through data-driven decision making.

Whether you’re managing a construction site, planning road maintenance, or developing a hillside property, our drone surveys deliver actionable data in a fraction of the time required by traditional surveying methods. Our background in civil quantity surveying allows us to translate complex scan data into clear, easy-to-understand volume calculations that directly support your project management and financial reporting needs.

Our Civil Volumetrics Services

• Stockpile Volume Analysis: Quickly and accurately measure the cubic meter volume of dirt, gravel, and aggregate stockpiles with our precision LiDAR stockpile scanning. Our drone-based approach eliminates the safety risks and inaccuracies of manual measurements, providing exact volume calculations that support inventory management, financial reporting, and operational planning. This service is ideal for quarries, construction sites, and resource management operations where accurate material quantification directly impacts profitability and project planning. Our detailed reports include comprehensive volume data, 3D visualizations, and comparative analysis for monitoring changes over time.

• Road and Infrastructure Measurements: Transform your road maintenance and construction planning with our detailed infrastructure scanning services. We precisely calculate the area of road surfaces, footpaths, shoulders, and grass verges, providing comprehensive dimensional data that supports maintenance planning, tender documentation, and budget allocation. Our drone road surveys can also be conducted at regular intervals to generate progress quantity reports during construction, allowing project managers to track completion rates, verify contractor work, and manage timelines more effectively. The precision of our LiDAR technology ensures measurements are accurate to within centimeters, eliminating estimation errors that can lead to cost overruns.

• Hill Site Development Surveys: Assess challenging hill sites for development with confidence using our specialized LiDAR scanning services. We provide accurate volume measurements and detailed topographic data that can be directly compared to design plans, ensuring your development proceeds according to specifications. Our LiDAR scanning for civil engineering delivers the precision needed for cut-and-fill calculations, site preparation planning, and earthworks optimization. This technology penetrates vegetation to reveal the true ground surface, providing insights that traditional surveys might miss and helping you identify potential challenges before they impact your project timeline or budget.

1. Site Assessment

We begin by consulting with you to understand your specific project needs, whether it’s stockpile measurement, road assessment, or hillside development planning. This initial discussion helps us tailor our approach to deliver exactly the data you need in the most useful format for your application.

2. LiDAR Scanning

Using our advanced LiDAR system mounted on our RTK-enabled drone, we capture high-resolution 3D data of your site. The RTK (Real-Time Kinematic) positioning ensures centimeter-level accuracy, while the LiDAR sensor collects millions of data points that precisely map the entire survey area, even in challenging terrain or complex geometries.

3. Data Analysis

Our expert team processes the collected data using specialized software to calculate volumes, areas, and comparisons to design plans or previous surveys. This analysis transforms raw point cloud data into meaningful measurements and visualizations that directly address your project requirements.
