UAV Surveys empowers quarry managers and teams with cutting edge technology to improve efficiency, maintain accurate stock control and enhance on site safety. By harnessing drone based data collection and advanced analytics, quarries can operate smarter, faster and with greater confidence.
A UAV Surveys drone flight takes just a few hours—significantly less than traditional surveying methods that can span multiple days. As a result, the data you need is available sooner, enabling quicker decision making and improved operational flow.
UAV Surveys provides precise volume measurements of stockpiles, allowing managers to track materials in real time. This improved visibility makes it easier to forecast blasting volumes and maintain optimal inventory levels, ensuring you never run short of the resources you need.
By using UAV Surveys, fewer workers need to enter hazardous areas. Drone based inspections keep teams informed and out of harm’s way. The result is a safer work environment, where critical insights are gained remotely without compromising safety standards.
The web based UAV Surveys portal puts all current and historical survey data at your fingertips. It provides:
UAV Surveys seamlessly integrates with CAD (DXF) drawings. Managers can compare planned designs against real world progress on the ground—identifying deviations early and avoiding penalties from breaches such as over cutting. For blasting operations, high resolution 3D imagery reveals geological details, while the blasting tool helps forecast material yields with precision.
UAV Surveys’ Stockpile module enables managers to track mass, volume and value of materials over time. Each survey generates a comprehensive PDF report capturing historical imagery, topographical information and valuations. You can also export this data into third party financial and administrative systems for streamlined inventory and accounting processes.
With UAV Surveys’ Roadway tool, managers can monitor road gradients and conditions. Optimising haul roads leads to reduced fuel consumption and lower operating costs—critically important since legislative changes can affect operations, as seen in the United Kingdom’s shift away from duty free “red” diesel.
The 3D models generated by UAV Surveys are invaluable for training and on boarding. New employees and contractors gain a virtual understanding of the quarry layout, hazards and best practices before setting foot on site. Operations teams can remotely inspect bunds and rockfall traps, minimising staff exposure to dangerous environments and speeding up necessary repairs.
UAV Surveys supports ongoing environmental commitments. The Terrain Comparison tool helps track erosion and land stability in areas removed from production. Environmental specialists can conduct virtual inspections of habitats, vegetation, watercourses and waste storage areas. This proactive approach ensures compliance, protects wildlife and maintains ecological balance.
UAV Surveys retains all historical imagery and survey data. This archive can be used to verify contractor work, settle disputes over material deliveries or removals and confirm the accuracy of completed groundworks. With UAV Surveys, you have transparent, verifiable records that foster trust and accountability.
