Streamlining Stockpile Volume Estimation with Drone Survey Technology: A Case Study Presentation

At the 2024 Battelle Thirteenth International Conference on Remediation of Chlorinated and Recalcitrant Compounds in Denver, CO, Ninyo & Moore showcased our advanced method for estimating stockpile volumes using drone surveying technology. Our presentation highlighted the significant benefits and cost savings achieved by utilizing drones and specialized software to precisely survey a 20-acre site. This innovative approach not only provided accurate volume estimations but also enhanced safety and efficiency in data collection and site management.
Ninyo & Moore's drone capabilities provide an excellent opportunity to expand the scope of our services, either as a standalone project or as an add-on to other projects.
