About The Project
On two separate occasions, aerial drone flights were conducted at the Potter Ballast Pile near Cochrane, Ontario. Flights were conducted in order to calculate the volume of material in the pile. Flight data was used to create a Recap point cloud.
Volume of the pile was calculated by creating two separate XML surfaces of the pile and the ground around it. A CADD calculation uses these two surfaces to find the volume of the ballast pile.
Services Provided
Aerial Drone Surveying
Using unmanned fixed-wing and rotorcraft we can provide economical ways to perform aerial surveys. Our drones can be launched and sent to remote or hazardous locations to gather survey data or perform visual inspections. Using LiDAR techniques, the data can be used to provide geo-referenced results in a variety of formats.
GPS/Total Station
Our field teams use Leica robotic Total Stations, Leica, Trimble, and Topcon GNSS units and Leica DNA03 digital levels to provide a wide range of services for projects of any size; includes topographical surveys, construction layout, control networks, deformation monitoring, site volume calculations, as-built surveys and much more.
