Stockpile Surveys

What is a Stockpile Survey?

A stockpile survey is an essential service for accurately measuring the volume of stockpiled materials such as soil, aggregates, coal, and other bulk resources. These surveys are critical for industries like construction, mining, and waste management, where precise inventory control is crucial. At Brookes Geospatial, serving clients throughout Lancashire and West Yorkshire, we utilize advanced technologies, including drones, GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System), and total stations, to provide dependable and accurate volume assessments tailored to your needs.

How Do Stockpile Surveys Work?

Our approach to stockpile surveys in Lancashire and West Yorkshire is customized to ensure the most accurate results:

Site Assessment:
- We start by visiting your site in Lancashire or West Yorkshire to assess the stockpiles and choose the most appropriate measurement method.
Surveying Methods:
- Drones: Best for large sites with multiple stockpiles. Our drones capture high-resolution aerial data quickly, covering extensive areas across Lancashire and West Yorkshire.
- GNSS/GPS: Ideal for smaller, individual stockpiles. This method involves using precise GPS receivers to collect detailed data on the stockpile’s surface.
- Total Stations: Perfect for indoor or confined spaces where drones and GNSS are impractical. Total stations provide high-accuracy measurements, capturing exact positions and elevations.
Data Processing:
- We process the collected data using specialized software to create a detailed 3D model of the stockpile, allowing us to calculate the exact volume with precision.

How Much Do Stockpile Surveys Cost?

The cost of a stockpile survey in Lancashire or West Yorkshire can vary depending on factors such as the number of stockpiles, their size, and the surveying method used. Prices typically start at £400 + VAT for a single day of surveying. However, larger sites or more complex projects may incur additional costs. We aim to provide competitive pricing while maintaining the highest level of accuracy and service. Contact us for a precise quote tailored to your specific needs.
