Stockpile Survey UAE
Accurate volume measurement of stockpiles and earthworks across UAE quarries, construction sites, and industrial yards using drone photogrammetry and GNSS survey methods.
Stockpile Volume Measurement in the UAE
Stockpile surveys measure the volume and quantity of aggregate, sand, soil, and bulk material piles at construction sites, quarries, ports, and industrial facilities across the UAE. Using drone photogrammetry and RTK GNSS, we capture accurate 3D surface models of stockpile areas within hours.
Al Warqa Survey Engineering delivers certified stockpile volume reports used for inventory reconciliation, contractor payments, customs declarations, and management reporting across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and the wider UAE.
Our Methodology
Delivering excellence through a proven three-stage workflow
GCP Setup & Control Survey
Establish ground control points with GNSS to georeference drone imagery to project accuracy standards.
Drone Photogrammetric Survey
UAV data capture over stockpile areas with systematic overlap for complete 3D surface reconstruction.
Volume Computation & Reporting
Process point cloud, compute volumes using base plane or trimmed surface methods, and deliver certified report.
Applications
