Measure and Manage Your Site Yourself

Get more done with a clear view of where you are and where you're headed.

Features and Benefits

Confidently Plan and Estimate

Know what you’re quoting—conduct your own site surveys before the job begins, and whenever changes occur
Get frequent, detailed images of site boundaries and protected areas to easily demonstrate your conformance with regulatory requirements
Tighter plans and budgets as a result of more frequent and accurate volume data

Survey Frequently and Faster

Get accurate, up-to-date topographic surveys whenever you need without having to bring in a survey crew
Avoid information bottlenecks by getting answers to questions yourself with an intuitive, web-based tool
Survey inaccessible or hazardous areas safely using a drone

Site Volumes

Calculate overall material volumes added or removed from pits, stockpiles, cells and drainage channels
Measure stockpile volumes more frequently and safely to enable better stockpile management

Communicate Effectively

A visual timeline keeps everyone on the same page
Track site changes, avoid crossed wires and resolve disputes quickly
Fewer site visits needed when people can track progress and inspect work remotely, manage more sites more easily

Design Checks

Upload design file to compare actual surface to design surface and track progress
Easily measure distances, slopes and heights to compare with site measurements

Aggregates Operations

Know the exact volume of material moving in and out of stockpiles and pits to improve inventory management
Tailor production to customer demand with more frequent and accurate stockpile and pit volume data
Optimize traffic management by ensuring that road grades, widths and cross slopes meet design specifications

Applications

Industry	Applications	Details
Civil Construction	Tracking progress against the design Quality assurance Subcontractor management	Capture topos Create excavation and backfill maps Carry out quick volume calculations of moved material for contract fulfillment and payment Proof of location changes with a visual timeline
Quarry	Monitor and manage inventory Manage mining and blasting operations Inspection of equipment and supervision of contractors Organization of roads and traffic	Easily compare the volumes before and after blasting and measure the angle of the blasting surface Calculate borehole depths using borehole surface models Safe inspection of explosion fragment areas Manage the stock volume in the pit and calculate the total volume removed from the pit using surface comparisons Calculate slope angles and pit angles and compare actual surface-to-model to track compliance Tracking of changes in the angle of inclination between measurements in order to better control possible slipping Enhance safety by remotely inspecting walls by geotechnical engineers Export of 3D DXF and point cloud files for updating pit and dump plans Optimization of traffic plans with a complete, up-to-date construction site map and easy guidance of the staff to the intended locations Reduction of cycle times and optimization of the efficiency of mobile systems by tracking the conformity of the transport routes Inspection of areas before and after major events such as heavy rains
Mining	Effective tracking of the status of your mine Measure the volume of the stockpile Check the road gradient Generate terrain maps	Upload planning areas to visually track progress based on your 3D location survey Compare different measurements to see changes over time Uncover non-compliance issues before they get expensive Faster, better inventory estimates
Waste	Monitor landfill progress and productivity Check cell volume, remaining air space and density Calculate current, changed and remaining airspace for EPA reporting	Increase the productive life of your cells by tracking and maximizing compaction rates over time Improvement of compliance reporting and airspace management
