Earthwork and Pile Estimations
Lay down a digital blanket
How can a drone estimate quantity?
Step one - We scan a site.
Step two - We create a digital blanket over the ground and all piles. It's called a mesh.
Step three - We digitally circle areas (piles, mounds, retention ponds, etc) on the mesh and slice them off with a defined cut plane (either a elevation or a design file surface).
Step four - Software calculates the cubic yards between the cut plane and the mesh.
Step five - We provide a report of our findings.
*In some states, we'll need to work with your surveyor.
EARTHWORK & PILE ESTIMATIONS
Track buckets.
One 3D model tells you:
-
Topography / elevation
-
Slopes / grades
-
Cubic yards / quantities
Two models from different dates tell you more:
-
Topography changed
-
Grades changed
-
Cubic yards moved
High & Low Visual Estimation
Design vs. Actual. Fight!
When we create a digital surface model of your site, we can compare it to your design file. Why?
-
See variance in elevation from design to actual
-
Cubic yard variance in an area, or over the whole site
