Drone Stockpile Surveys

Stockpile surveys are used to determine the volume, size or weight of a commodity stockpile. Often, traditional methods of carrying out volumetric surveys can be time-consuming, and potentially unsafe as a surveyor is required to traverse the site. By using drones, we can survey stockpiles and measure volume to give you a faster, more cost-effective and safer option compared to traditional surveying methods.

Why are drone stockpile surveys important?


Accurately measuring stockpile volume can be of huge benefit across many different industries, whether you’re working with gravel, dirt or limestone to name a few.

Drone stockpile surveys help to streamline operations and keep track of, manage and calculate stock levels.

Some of the reasons drone stockpile surveys are important include:

Report Icon

Follow regulatory requirements

By accurately measuring stock and not estimating, it is clear that you are being transparent and that your data is reliable.

Safety Icon

Prevent workplace injury

By using drones, we eliminate the challenge of requiring a surveyor to visit a potentially dangerous site. Our state-of-the-art drones take to the sky while we keep our feet firmly on the ground, therefore eliminating the risk of injury.

Profit icon

Create more profit

By guessing your measurements, there will always be some materials that go to waste. To avoid losing profit, an accurate survey that measures your stockpile to the very last inch will ensure you can manage it efficiently.

Why use drones?

We work smarter, not harder. For us, that means bypassing all the challenges that come from carrying out traditional surveys. By using our state-of-the-art drones, we are able to deliver a service that is far more detailed and accurate but for a fraction of the cost of traditional methods. It’s a no-brainer! Using drones to carry out our surveys means we can offer a survey that is:

  • Check Icon

    Accurate. Our drones produce high-quality imagery that is almost impossible to dispute.

  • Check Icon

    Cost-effective. Less machinery and fewer human resources means no additional costs for you.

  • Check Icon

    Quick. One man and his drone and a report that could be with you within 72 hours.

  • Check Icon

    Safe. No area is out of reach for a drone. We can see it all.

Drones automate the data collection process which makes it repeatable, meaning each data set offers a like-for-like comparison.

How does it work?

Our state-of-the-art drones are far superior to the traditional methods of carrying out stockpile surveys.

Here’s what you can expect from your survey:

  • Our drones will fly over the site and produce high-quality data consisting of GPS tagged, high resolution quality images.

  • This data is then processed to build visual 2D and 3D models for analysis, insights and accurate stockpile calculations.

  • You will receive your easy-to-read, no-nonsense report in as little as 72 hours. Capture, analyse, deliver. It really is as simple as that.
