Volume Calculation Survey Services

How much dirt has been taken away from your site? How much sand or gravel do you have in your pile? How much stuff do you need to fill it?

Getting the right answer is very important so you can plan, budget, and keep your project on track.

Falcon 3D provides Volume Calculation Survey Services in the UAE to get accurate measurements of land, piles of materials, excavation sites, earthwork, and building supplies.

We combine modern surveying tools such as GNSS/GPS, Total Stations, drones, and 3D laser scanners to get measurements of the site. Then the data is processed, and the required volumes are calculated with the help of professional survey and 3D software.

Volume Calculation Survey in UAE

What Is a Survey for Volume Calculation?

A Volume Calculation Survey tells you how much earth or material is in an area.

Think about a big pile of sand or aggregate on a construction site as an example. Just looking at it doesn’t give you a good idea of how much it is.

Our surveyors measure the stockpile and create a digital model of its shape and levels. We then use this information to calculate its volume.

You can use the same method for

  • Earth and soil
  • Sand and aggregates
  • Rock
  • Materials dug up
  • Construction stockpiles
  • Land
  • Earthwork
  • Cut-and-fill spots

You don’t have to rely on guesses based on what you see; this gives you accurate information.

Our Volume Calculation Survey Services

Land Volume Survey

Want to know how your land is shaped and how high it is before you start working on it?

Our Land Volume Survey provides detailed information about the existing ground surface.

This can help with:

  • Site preparation
  • Building on land
  • Grading
  • Planning for excavation
  • Filling work
  • Ground-level comparison

Figuring Out the Volume of Materials

If your site has large quantities of material, we can help you measure the volume.

Our Material Volume Calculation services can be used for:

Sand and dirt

Gravel, aggregates, rock, quarry materials

Excavated materials

Also, doing regular checks on your stockpile can help you see how much it changes over time.

Figuring Out the Volume of Earthwork

Earthwork can involve moving thousands of cubic metres of soil.

Our Earthwork Volume Calculation service helps you understand how much material needs to be excavated, removed, moved, or filled.

We provide

  • Digging rate
  • Amount of Fill
  • Cut/Fill Volume
  • Total ground now
  • Ballpark ground state quantities

Excavation volume survey

If you need to know how much material is removed in the excavation, we can measure the area before and after the work is done.

For instance:

Volume difference before and after digging

This provides a straightforward method to monitor quantities excavated and project progress.

Survey for 3D Volume Calculation

We can use 3D surveying technology to gather detailed information for larger or more complex sites.

This is what we might do on each site:

Drone surveying, 3D laser scanning, GNSS/GPS, and a total station

With the data gathered, it is possible to make a detailed 3D model of the site and figure out its volumes.

How Do We Calculate the Volume?

The process is simple from the client’s point of view.

01
Figure out what you need.

We first understand what you need to measure.

As an example:

  • Lots of things
  • The digging of
  • An area for building
  • A piece of land
  • Earthwork

Levels now and those being considered

02
Survey the Site

Our surveyors take accurate measurements using the most suitable equipment.

This could be GPS/GNSS, Total Stations, drones, or 3D laser scanners, depending on the site.

03
Build a model on your computer.

Survey data becomes a digital map of the area.

This could mean:

  • 3D shapes
  • 3D point cloud
  • Digital models of terrain
  • Surface models on a computer
  • Shapes of
  • Elevation data
04
Figure out the volume

The volume is found by comparing the needed surfaces or measures.

  1. Existing Ground vs. Proposed Ground or
  2. Before Excavation vs. After Excavation or

The difference between the old and new stockpile surveys

05
Share the Results

Depending on your requirements, we can provide:

  • Reports on volume calculations
  • Survey drawings
  • CAD drawings
  • Models in 3D
  • Surface data
  • Point-cloud data
  • Contour drawings
  • Quantity information

What kind of tools do we use?

The equipment we use is based on your site and the kind of data we need to gather.

GNSS / GPS

We can get accurate location and height points over large areas with the help of GNSS/GPS equipment.

Lots of people use it to do surveys of land, buildings, earthwork, and stockpiles.

Total Stations

Our surveyors can use a Total Station to locate positions, measure distances, and determine heights.

It’s useful for building sites, digging areas, and thorough ground studies.

Laser 3D Scanner

A point cloud is a record of particular information about the space around it, created by a 3D laser scanner.

This helps us keep a complete digital record of a site, pile, building, or large area.

Helicopter or UAV

When the site is big and open, drones are very helpful.

The aerial data can be used to create:

  • 2D maps
  • Models in 3D
  • Point clouds
  • Surface models
  • Contours
  • Elevation information

This can make it easier to measure large areas and calculate volumes.

What technology do we use for monitoring?

We use professional surveying and 3D software to process the site data after we’ve gathered it.

Depending on the project, this may include:

  • AutoCAD drawings and CAD documents
  • Civil 3D has surfaces, contours, grading, and earthwork.
  • Leica Cyclone – 3D laser scanning and point clouds
  • GNSS and Total Station data from the Leica Infinity
  • Trimble Business Center – survey data and surface processing
  • Pix4D lets you map and photograph with a drone.
  • Agisoft Metashape – drone data and 3D reconstruction
  • CloudCompare – point-cloud inspection and comparison

The software and equipment used will depend on the size of the site, survey method, project requirements, and required accuracy.

Where Can Volume Calculation Surveys Be Used?

Our services can be useful in many industries.

  • Excavation
  • Backfilling
  • Earthwork
  • Site preparation
  • Material stores
  • Progress monitoring

Why Use a Professional Volume Survey?

Even a small difference in the estimated volume can change how a project is planned and how much it costs when there are a lot of materials involved.

A professional Quantity and Volume Survey can help you:

  • Know the actual quantity of material.
  • Monitor stockpiles
  • Check excavation quantities
  • Plan filling work
  • Check the planned and actual amounts.
  • Monitor changes between surveys.
  • Keep better records of projects.
  • Support quantity checking
  • Track project progress

Most importantly, you have poll data that can be measured, checked, and compared.
