See how the site is progressing

Track progress to see how much work your team has completed and how much work remains. With accurate stockpile measurements and frequent elevation checks, you can measure progress and adjust your site strategy. Plus, flying your drone more frequently will give you this updated data regularly—allowing you to confidently determine staffing, machine allocation, and how much work is left to complete.

Volume calculation tools in Propeller

Propeller’s volume calculation tools empower users to stay on track, ensure design conformance, and plan what to tackle next.

Magic polygon

Harness the magic of AI to automatically find the boundaries of your stockpiles to calculate a measurable polygon. Just hover and click for instant volumes.

Basic volume

Measure the volume of material within a selected area. See how much has been moved, how much is left to do, and stay on top of truck loads.

Stockpile volume

Calculate the value of a stockpile using a smart reference level or custom base. You can use this information to create customized stockpile inventory reports with material values.

Bench volumes

Measure the volume of a wall or bench section. This is especially useful for measuring blast volumes or determining how much material is on each bench of your worksite.

Survey to design

Measure differences in volume between a selected survey and an uploaded design surface. You can see how the size of your stockpiles changes over time.

Design compare

Calculate the volume between two design surfaces. Compare one design file to another project, like landfill cell revisions, site plan updates, and mine site benchmarks.

Survey volume compare

Use site volume calculations from a previous dataset or imported design surface as a base. This allows you to see the volume added or removed.

Custom surface comparison

Adjust the individual vertex points that make up the outline of your volume measurement to measure material on uneven or stepped ground.
