VOLUMETRICS
AERIAL VOLUMETRIC MEASUREMENTS
Since the technology has gotten more accessible and affordable over the past few years, drones in volumetrics have grown in popularity. A subfield of geospatial science called volumetrics measures, models, and analyzes material volume using remote sensing methods.
Volumetrics can be used to measure stockpiles and quarries, calculate the amount of land required for construction projects, and estimate the amount of material that has to be removed (or added) from a project site.
DRONES FOR MEASUREMENT OF THE STOCKPILE
Drones offer a convenient and efficient way to measure stockpiles, as they can quickly and easily cover large areas and collect data from various angles. This can be especially useful for stockpiles located in hard-to-reach or hazardous areas, as it allows measurements to be taken without humans needing to access these areas.
A 3D IMAGERY
Drones can be fitted with sensors, such LiDAR or photogrammetry cameras, to collect data as they fly over the stockpile, including pictures and other types of imagery. With the aid of this information, a 3D stockpile model may be made, the volume of which can then be calculated.
LIGHT SCREENING
To avoid wasting resources, high-resolution aerial photos can be used to produce 3D models that will aid the crew in identifying obstacles and potential design problems. Moreover, 3D models may be used to demonstrate clients what the finished product will look like and keep the team on track with the original design blueprint.
FOR VOLUMETRIC SURVEYING DRONES
A survey team and numerous approximated calculations are needed for traditional volumetrics. It is time-consuming, expensive, and the reporting process takes weeks. This approach frequently leaves a lot of leeway for subjectivity and mistakes, resulting in results that are incorrect or outdated.
Thankfully, the use of drone technology has made it possible to do volumetric calculations in real-time at a fraction of the cost and time needed by conventional techniques. The cost is much lower than hiring a survey crew, the calculations are precise, and the findings are reported right away.
Workarounds around the stockpile must stop, which can cause timetable delays and disruptions in workflow. Drones reduce safety risks, allowing work to go normally on site.
WHO SUBMITS DRONES FOR VOLUMETRICS APPLICATIONS?
GEOSPATIAL PROFESSIONALS AND SURVEYORS
Drones are frequently used by these experts to produce precise maps and models of the land and other natural features. These models can be used to determine an object's volume, such as material stockpiles.
FARMERS
Drones can assess agricultural yields and measure the volume of vegetation, which can be used to monitor crop growth and development.
MANAGERS OF CONSTRUCTION AND ENGINEERING
In order to determine quantities and costs, drones can measure the volume of building materials including concrete, gravel, sand, and other aggregates.
WHY DO VOLUMETRICS USE DRONES?
INCREASE SAFETY
Drone safety risks are greatly decreased because they are operated remotely.
IMPROVE WORKFLOW
You can continue working while gathering and analyzing metrics, keeping you on track.
CONFIDENCE
No more estimating volumetric quantities by eye. It provides accurate data every time.
SPEED
Reduce the number of hours spent on the task and calculate measurements quickly.
Avoid delays and changes in data
Using real-time data, report measures that are accurate and fast.
AFFORDABILITY
Compared to survey teams, drone services are less expensive.
