Volumetric Surveys

Uses for Digital Terrain Models

Volumetric survey data collected in the field can be processed to form a 3D Digital Terrain Model (DTM). The resulting DTM can form the basis for volume calculations, surface area measurements, contours and cross sections.

Reason for Volumetric Surveys

Established volumes can be used for a variety of purposes such as quantifying crushed or excavated materials. Cut and fill exercises can then be undertaken to balance earthworks.

Benefits of Volumetric Surveys and Digital Terrain Models

The data contained in the computer generated Digital Terrain Model is extensive and eliminates the need for difficult and laborious calculations, previously done by hand, this saving you time and money.

The accuracy of the output volumes is of benefit in establishing quantities for tendering in the building and civil engineering fields, ensuring the tender submitted has the best chance of returning a profit.
