Mapping Success: How Volume Surveys Work

Talk to us about your asset

Volume surveys use advanced surveying technologies, such as 3D laser scanning and UAV (drone) photogrammetry, to capture detailed spatial data of stockpiles, earthworks, or excavation sites.

This data is then processed to create detailed 3D models and perform accurate volume calculations.

By comparing existing surfaces with design levels or previous surveys, volume surveys provide reliable measurements of material quantities, helping industries track progress, manage resources, and ensure compliance.

RM Surveys’ expertise ensures every volume survey delivers accurate and actionable results tailored to your project needs.

Maylands Lake

As part of the City Of Bayswater’s lake monitoring program, RM Surveys was engaged to ascertain the amount of sediment inLake Brickworks, Lake Bungana and Lake Brearley – old clay ponds from the brickworks. This information was critical to the development of recommendations to improve the water quality and environmental health of the lakes and prevent the occurrence of algal blooms in the future.
