MINE AND PLANT SITE AGGREGATE STOCKPILES

Volumetric Mapping Planimetric Data
Sanborn was contracted to perform volumetric calculations for fifty-two on-site piles at a facility located in the Southeast United States. This project’s scope of work included flight planning, ground survey, imagery acquisition, and imagery QC required to produce planimetric grade data at 3” pixel resolution. 3D stereo compilation processes were applied in order to create comprehensive volumetric calculations along with planimetric maps of the site. The sample imagery included here illustrates the change in size of aggregate piles (#40 and #41) between December 2013 and December 2014.
