Volumetric Survey Services in NSW:

We offer reliable and accurate Volumetric Survey services for clients across NSW. Whether you’re managing a quarry, landfill, or construction site, our team provides fast, compliant, and detailed survey data to support critical decision-making and project compliance. With over 50 years of industry experience and the latest tech, we ensure every survey delivers results you can rely on.

What Is a Volumetric Survey?

A volumetric survey measures and calculates volumes of materials such as soil, waste, or stockpiled materials within a defined area. It uses high-accuracy GPS, drone mapping, or laser scanning technology to create detailed 3D models of the terrain.

This type of survey is commonly used in mining, construction, and waste management to determine excavation volumes, stockpile measurements, or remaining void space.

Why Are Volumetric Surveys Required?

Volumetric surveys help project managers:

  • Monitor excavation progress

  • Track material movement

  • Report to regulatory bodies

  • Manage resources efficiently

  • Ensure environmental compliance

They are also required by the NSW EPA for landfill and mining site reporting, particularly to track changes in void space and active cell boundaries.

Why Are Volumetric Surveys Required?

Volumetric surveys help project managers:

  • Monitor excavation progress

  • Track material movement

  • Report to regulatory bodies

  • Manage resources efficiently

  • Ensure environmental compliance

They are also required by the NSW EPA for landfill and mining site reporting, particularly to track changes in void space and active cell boundaries.

When Should a Baseline and Volumetric Survey Be Undertaken?
A baseline survey is typically done at the start of a project to record the original landform. Follow-up volumetric surveys are then performed:
  • At regular intervals (e.g., quarterly or biannually)

  • Before and after major extraction or landfilling activities

  • To support compliance reporting by the prescribed dates (e.g. 31 Jan and 31 July)

Our Volumetric Survey Services Include:
  • Baseline and ongoing volume calculations
  • Stockpile measurement and reporting
  • Landfill and quarry void analysis
  • Tailings dam volume monitoring
  • Drone and laser scanning capture
  • EPA-compliant reporting
  • As-built plans and surface modelling

Key Volumeric Surveying Definitions
  • Accuracy: Our surveys meet a tolerance of +/- 0.2m, suitable for engineering-grade volumetric data.

  • Boundaries (Site Area): Defined by title or licence, these show the extent of the surveyed site.

  • Active Cells: Areas being quarried or landfilled within the survey period. Boundaries remain fixed for accurate tracking.

  • Void Space Change: Net volume change since the last report; may increase or decrease depending on activity.

  • Contours: Elevation lines showing the shape of the land, essential for modelling and volume calcs.

  • Occupier: The person or business managing the site.

  • Stockpile ID: Each stockpile is tagged and tracked for reporting to EPA standards.

  • Survey Plan Details: We show structures, roads, weighbridges, stockpiles, ponds, landfill cells, and extraction zones.

  • Title Details: MGA coordinates, lot/DP numbers, and active site areas are recorded for every project.
