Stockpile Measurement

Engineered Dimensions uses reflectorless lasers to survey the surface of the stockpile. This data is downloaded into state-of-the-art modeling software, creating a 3-dimensional model of the pile, and calculating the volume of the material surveyed. Results are provided at the time of the survey.
