Part of our Mining Survey services includes calculating stockpile volumes and providing stockpile surveys across mines, quarries, construction sites and any type of stock yard. Measuring stockpile volumes through the technologies available to us is clearly the safest and quickest options out there today.
All of our surveyors have received ample training and have accrued a vast amount of experience working in these environments, therefore the Merrett Mining Survey team are best placed to deal with the assessment of stockpile volumes.
Mobile mapping, laser scanning technology and UAV or drone methods provide rapid and cost-effective methods of computing stockpile volumes. Whether the stockpiles are situated outdoors, inside silos or warehouse storage sheds.
High accuracy laser scanners combined with GNSS and IMU (inertial measurement unit) devices can be mounted on vehicles and driven through the mine site and around stockpile locations. This enables 3D modelling – or building information modelling – and hence accurate volume calculations of the mineral, waste or unprocessed ore stockpiles.

The use of remote sensing & surveying methods vastly improves the on-site safety of measuring stockpile volumes and dramatically reduces the time it takes to see the results.
