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.

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.
