Mining & Aggregate Operations
Ground-based stockpile surveys require personnel on active haul routes, near moving equipment, and on unstable material surfaces. Aerial volumetric measurement eliminates that exposure entirely — a drone can survey a full quarry site faster than a ground crew and produce geo-referenced volume data your engineers can use directly.
Dronebotics provides aerial survey services for aggregate quarries, open pit mining operations, and material processing yards. Our primary deliverables in this sector are volumetric stockpile measurements and site-wide photogrammetric surveys — supporting inventory management, regulatory compliance documentation, and operational planning.
Mining sites are frequently located near small aerodromes or in airspace with unique operational characteristics. Advanced RPAS certification authorizes operation in these environments with appropriate regulatory clearance.
Who This Is For
What's Included
Airspace planning & coordination
Quarry environments often have operational airspace considerations we identify and clear before arrival.
Site-wide aerial survey
Systematic grid patterns with appropriate overlap for photogrammetric reconstruction.
Volumetric calculations
For individual stockpiles or defined inventory zones, with consistent base-plane methodology across visits.
Georeferenced orthomosaic
Full site coverage in GeoTIFF format.
Point cloud & digital surface model
For engineering and volume analysis workflows.
