Overview:

The County of 40-Mile required a Gravel Pit Plan be Designed, which included Volumes, Bore Hole Locations, Pit Areas, Contour Lines, Cross-Sectional Profiles, and Reclamation Sequencing.

Challenge:

Capture a high-resolution topographic dataset in a timely manner, which will then be used to develop an extremely detailed and accurate pit activities plan.

Solution:

Utilize a PPK-enabled UAV combined with a conventional ground survey to create an engineering grade Digital Terrain Model (DTM), which in-turn is analyzed in-house by Ventus’s Data Processing team to develop the pit activities plan.

Results:

By utilizing GIS expertise to extract all the necessary information from the DTM and corresponding conventional survey data, Ventus produced an accurate, detailed pit plan for our client, resulting in both cost and time savings.
