Volume calculations are primarily designated for finding out volume of in-bound or out-bound material in a given area, to calculate financial costs required for transportation of such material, and to decide whether this volume corresponds to values referenced in the project. 3D model preview.

Stages of volume calculations

Data collection

We collect the data via images using photogrammetry, a dense cloud of laser scan points, or a combination of both approaches. We choose suitable method according to specific task.

Measuring GCPs

Ground Control Points are measured using geodetic technology. These points are used for connecting the model into coordinate system.

Creation a 3D model

Afterwards we convert measured data into an accurate high definition 3D model. This 3D model created from mesh is used as an input for calculating volumes.

Calculations of volume

Volumes are calculated using a difference between two stages of measurements, or a difference between projected and measured value. This calculation is made using software and it is the most accurate method of volume determination.

Aerial photogrammetry

We use this technology primarily for mapping of larger territorial units. For this purpose we have developed a platform with four cameras placed on an aircraft carrier.

UAS / UAV

For mapping of smaller areas and buildings in cities where higher details resolution is required, we use Unmanned Aerial Systems equipped with cameras. The data are supplemented by Close-Range photogrammetry, as needed.

Laser scanning

We use Laser scanning as a supplementary method of data collection in places with poor lighting conditions or in areas with dense vegetation.

Cutting edge technology

We use cutting edge technology of Aerial and Close-Range photogrammetry, Laser scanning and Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) to collect data. The advantage of these technologies is that they represent contactless scanning methods. It means that the surface of measured object (landfill, embankment) does not get disturbed due to influence of measurement device or its service that could potentially cause altering of object shape. It is also possible to measure inaccessible places or places with hazardous material. A considerable advantage is that fieldwork is fast and therefore does impose time restrictions for other building processes in given area. Thanks to these technologies we are able to capture even small details and surface of building deformations.
