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

Plan and Estimate

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

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

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

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

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

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
