What is Volume Survey

Whether you need a volume survey for a large area of road or perhaps a residential development, Atlantic Geomatics are here to provide you with a solution.

Volumetric surveys can be accurately calculated to establish stockpile volumes, resources needed for extraction and volumes of earthworks etc. A volume survey is a variation of a topographic survey where particular attention is paid to levels and break lines. We will provide you with a detailed drawing with tabulated volumes to meet your specific requirements.

Stockpile or earthworks volume surveys are carried out to determine volumes for excavation or fill quantities.

Volume Survey accurately calculates the amount of material within a defined area—such as stockpiles, excavation pits, or landfill sites. These surveys are essential for tracking earthworks, managing resources, and supporting accurate billing or reporting in construction, mining, and waste management projects.

  • determine actual earthwork quantities against design quantities (extent of cuts and fills, batter slopes etc);
  • identification of lots and layers for embankment fill (ie, to control and ensure that all lots were tested for compaction);
  • Calculating volumes of cuts and embankment fill.

Our Volume Survey Services Include

Cut and fill volume calculations, Stockpile measurements (soil, gravel, sand, ore, etc.), Excavation and landfill volume tracking, Quarry and mine site volume assessments, Pre-construction and post-construction comparisons, Progress tracking for earthworks projects, Reporting for project management, compliance, or auditing.

When Do You Need a Volume Survey. During earthworks for road, rail, or infrastructure projects, For accurate measurement of stockpiled materials on site, When tracking material movement on construction or mining sites, To generate payment certificates for contractors/subcontractors for site planning, resource management, or regulatory compliance.

We utilize the latest GPS/GNSS, Total Stations, 3D Laser Scanners, and UAV Drone Mapping to provide precise, high-resolution volume data. Our technology ensures reliable results with minimal disruption to your site operations.

Whether you’re a site manager, contractor, or mining operator, our volume surveys help you make data-driven decisions. With highly accurate, repeatable results, we support compliance, reduce material waste, and improve cost control.

Volume Survey

We are able to carry out stockpile and volume calculations for either regular updates or one off site visits on stock yards, quarries and construction sites. We have experience in working in a wide variety of sites across the country.

All our surveyors are trained and knowledgeable in working in these environments having carried out relevant training.We can measure stockpiles directly and relate to the OS Grid utilising GPS technology, or for larger stockpiles utilise remote measuring techniques.

Are drone surveys accurate enough for Volume Survey?
Drones have so many advantages when it comes to surveying stockpiles. But you might be worried about the accuracy of the volume calculations you get from this aerial data. We’ve surveyed a +3000 m³ stockpile using different methods to compare results. Guess what?

Drone surveys are even more accurate than traditional ground surveying methods.
