How We Measure: Method and Sample Reports
The instruments, steps and checks behind each report.
Our approach
Measure first. Explain the method. Show the numbers.
We choose the instrument to suit the job, measure on the ground rather than estimate, and write up how the number was obtained so another professional could check it.
- 01
Measure on the ground
We choose the instrument to suit the job and measure, rather than estimate.
- 02
Explain the method
Every report records how the number was obtained, so another professional can check it.
- 03
Show the limits
We state the limits of each result and do not publish accuracy figures we cannot show for your site.
Land survey method
From purpose to plan.
- 01
Understand the purpose
What the plan will be used for decides the method and the detail.
- 02
Establish control
Reference points are set or tied to existing control on site.
- 03
Measure
Total station and DGPS record points, features and levels.
- 04
Process and draw
Data is processed in survey software and drawn as a plan.
- 05
Check and issue
The plan is checked against the field record and issued.
Stockpile volume method
Two surfaces and the space between them.
- 01
Set stations
The total station is placed where the whole pile is visible.
- 02
Record the surface
Closely spaced points are measured over the surface.
- 03
Establish the base
The ground under the pile is recorded or established.
- 04
Compute volume
Data is downloaded from the data logger and processed to compute volume and a contour map.
- 05
Convert if needed
Density is determined by the box method following Indian standards; tonnage follows.
Bulk verification method
Before-and-after unloading comparison.
The wagon and the stocked pile are measured separately so the figure can be reconciled, and the working is kept with the record.
- 01
Before unloading
Record the top surface of the material in the wagon with closely spaced points.
- 02
Empty wagon
Measure the empty wagon by instrument and manually; compute its volume.
- 03
Ground, then stock
Record the ground before stocking, then the surface of the stocked pile.
- 04
Reconcile
Compare the volumes computed separately and record the result.
Accuracy and quality checks
Checks we perform.
- Instrument set up over a known point and levelled before measuring
- Readings repeated where a value looks doubtful
- Field data downloaded and reviewed before drawing
- Volumes computed separately and compared where two methods apply
- Density measured, not assumed, when weight is reported
