Terrain GPS + drone survey: keep the pit surface current, every day

Walk the pit with a phone, or fly a drone — SiteLive terrain engine keeps the current surface live for stockpile volumes, cut/fill and reserves.

The surface changes every day — your data should too

A monthly drone flight is not a surface — it is a snapshot. Terrain GPS in SiteLive lets a foreman walk the pit with a phone and update the current surface in place, so tomorrow stockpile volume is not a lie.

Two capture paths, one surface

  • Drone survey — upload the flight; volumes and cut/fill come back in minutes.
  • Terrain GPS — walk-and-tag points, sparse but current.
  • The engine fuses the two so the current surface is always the freshest truth.

What it feeds

  • QuarryLive stockpile intelligence
  • Reserves and grade tracking
  • Cut/fill reports for the client
  • HaulLive tonnages that reconcile against the pit

FAQ

What accuracy? Drone: survey-grade with GCPs. Phone GPS: metre-class, ideal for daily change detection.

Does it need a survey degree? No. Any foreman with a phone can walk the pit.
