Earthworks & Volume Surveys
Surveyed surfaces and quantities for earthworks planning, progress and reconciliation.
Earthworks survey services
Earthworks surveys provide current 3D surface information and quantities through excavation, filling and construction stages.
Services can include existing-ground surveys, cut/fill analysis, stockpile measurement, progress quantities, formation or layer records, material-management support and machine-control data preparation.
Where this service is used
Common applications within construction, earthworks, development and survey workflows.

Typical outputs
Typical project workflow
The exact sequence is adjusted to the project brief, programme and required deliverables.
Define the earthworks question
Confirm the surface, quantity, phase or material record required.
Review project data
Check design surfaces, boundaries, build-ups, revisions and survey control.
Survey current condition
Capture the required terrain, material or construction layer.
Process surfaces
Build and check the current 3D survey surface.
Calculate / compare
Produce the required quantities, surface differences or phase records.
Issue working data
Deliver quantities, drawings and surface files required by the project team.
Earthworks & Volume Surveys FAQ
What can an earthworks survey measure?
Typical work includes existing and current ground surfaces, cut/fill, stockpile volumes, progress quantities, formation or capping surfaces and other agreed earthworks stages.
Can earthworks surveys support material management?
Yes. Repeat surveys, stockpile inventories, excavation/placement zones and quantity reconciliation can provide spatial and quantitative records for a Materials Management Plan workflow.
Can earthworks surfaces be supplied for machine control?
Where approved design information and receiving-system requirements are available, separate machine-control model creation can prepare the required construction surfaces for compatible GPS-guided plant.
