Excavation & Aggregate
If you sell, stock, or move bulk material, the question is always the same: how much is there? We give you the answer in cubic yards, measured from the air instead of eyeballed from the ground. No tape measure stretching across a pile, no guesswork at the end of the month.
The work breaks down into a few things we do repeatedly for excavation and aggregate operators across Central Oregon:
What We Deliver
- Stockpile and material volumes, measured not estimated
- Cut vs. fill progress against your plan
- Proof of work for owners, agencies, and billing
- Time-lapse of the yard, flight over flight, with the numbers behind it
- Bid and inventory support when you need to know what you have to sell
Volumes come as CSV or shapefile, with the orthomosaic attached so you can see exactly which pile the number came from. If your accountant or buyer wants a signed report, we put one together. If you need a before-and-after on a cut, we fly the site twice and show you both.
How the flight works
We plan the flight on your site before we go — the number of passes, the overlap, the altitude — so the data lines up with what you need to measure. On a standard stockpile site we are in and out in a few hours. The processing is done locally in Bend, and you get the numbers alongside the map, not buried in a separate deliverable.
What it costs
A single volume survey is a fixed project, not an hourly charge. We quote after we see the site — number of piles, acreage, how many flight lines — because two piles and twenty piles are different jobs. Reach out with the size of the yard and what you need measured, and we will tell you what it takes.
