Waste Stockpile Volume Survey

Slowey Construction, Yankton SD

Slowey Construction stockpiles salvaged concrete and asphalt from area construction projects. The salvaged material is then crushed to make rock and gravel in various sizes for use on future construction projects. The stockpile of salvaged concrete is very irregular and uneven. The normal methods of surveying would not yield a true volume of the stockpile and would require the surveyors to operate in potentially dangerous locations. Eisenbraun and Associates proposed use of their laser scanner to determine the on-site volume of the concrete rubble stockpile.

The E/A Approach

E/A used their Leica ScanStation2 laser scanner to survey the stockpile of concrete rubble. The laser scanner was able to quickly capture the irregular and uneven surface of the concrete stockpile from three different scan locations that were then registered in a singular unified point cloud. The volume of the concrete stockpile was computed on-site.

The Outcome

The concrete rubble stockpile was scanned and volumes computed on-site in just a few hours.

	High speed laser measures a structure in great detail as it currently exists.
	Millions of survey points are now captured in less time.
	Detailed 3D point cloud created from multiple scans.
	High Resolution Photography also obtained by the scanning system.
