UAV Stockpile Volumetrics & Auditing

For mining operators, coal yards, quarries, and major bulk handlers, accounting for stock inventories manually is inaccurate and dangerous. TerraX3D provides precision drone volumetric surveys. Utilizing high-resolution aerial mapping cameras and RTK-enabled GPS systems, we reconstruct a 3D wireframe mesh of stockpiles to calculate cubic volumes with sub-percentage error rates.

Stockpile Volume Calculations

Calculate exact volume counts of material piles (coal, sand, gravel, ore, woodchips) to provide accurate inventory bookkeeping audits.

Cut-and-Fill Analysis

Compare your current site levels to engineering design models to evaluate exact earthworks volumes to be moved or filled.

Volumetric Outputs & Reports

TerraX3D compiles and delivers comprehensive survey data packages for management, logisticians, and financial auditors:

  • 3D PDF Mesh Models: View, spin, and inspect digital twin volumes without spatial design software.
  • CSV Density & Tonnage Tables: We combine volume outputs with your material density factors to compile exact tonnage lists.
  • Clean Boundary CAD DXFs: Raw 3D wireframe mesh data sets to import into spatial mining applications.

Volumetric Benefits

Sub-1% Margin of Error

By mapping thousands of coordinate height steps, we eliminate manual approximation and safety factors.

Zero-Danger Scanning

Drone flight removes the need for field personnel to climb unstable stockpiles with survey rods.

Fast Audit Cycles

Complete multi-stockpile calculations in hours instead of days, tracking weekly/monthly site material usage.

Need Aerial Orthos?

We capture detailed site photos alongside volumes for visual progress tracking and geological mapping overlays.
