Volumetric survey reports where the totals add up

Methodology with RTK, GCP, GSD and CRS fields, a results formula table for area, cut, fill, net, density and tonnage, and an accuracy statement. On Pro.

What the report includes

A volumetric survey report is a short document with a lot riding on a few numbers. The client wants the volume and tonnage of each stockpile, the method that produced them and an honest statement of accuracy. The volumetric stockpile template in Report Kit 360 keeps those three things together. The methodology section has fields for the positioning method, ground control, ground sample distance and coordinate reference system; the results table is a formula table that takes area, cut, fill and density for each pile and calculates net volume, tonnage and the accuracy band, with totals at the foot; and the accuracy statement and limitations sit before the deliverables list. A chart from the results table and a map block showing the pile locations complete the picture.

Summary: Site, date of capture, number of stockpiles, total volume and tonnage from the results table, and the headline accuracy.
Methodology: Aircraft and sensor, RTK or PPK positioning, ground control points, ground sample distance, coordinate reference system, base surface and processing software.
Results (formula table): Per stockpile: material, base method, area, cut, fill, net volume, density, tonnage and ± accuracy, with totals calculated live.
Accuracy statement: How the stated accuracy was derived from check points, GSD and the base surface assumption.

Limitations: Occlusions, vegetation, water, toe definition, density assumptions and anything that affects the figures.
Deliverables: Orthomosaic, surface model, point cloud, contours and the formats supplied, with imported PDF pages for plans.
Charts, map and photos: A chart of volume by stockpile, a map block with pile locations and annotated aerial photos.

Template: Volumetric stockpile survey (Pro). Alternatives: Drone survey (Basic), Generic technical report (Basic). The results table uses the tonnage preset (net volume × density). Named ranges feed the summary and the chart.

Why volumetric surveys teams use Report Kit 360

Tonnage and totals calculate as you type

Enter net volume and density and the tonnage, the accuracy band and the totals update. Change a density assumption and every dependent figure follows.

The method is recorded in full

Required fields for positioning, ground control, GSD and CRS mean the methodology is complete before the checks let you issue.

Results you can export

Pro exports the results table as CSV or XLSX for the client's own records, alongside the issued PDF.

Context on the page

The chart block draws volume by stockpile from the table, and the map block places the piles on an OpenStreetMap view.

How it works

Create the report and record the methodology

Fill the capture and processing fields. Import the ground control report as PDF pages if you have one.

Enter the results per stockpile

Area, cut, fill and density; net volume, tonnage and accuracy calculate. Totals appear at the foot.

State accuracy and limitations

Describe the check points and assumptions. Add the chart and the map.

Check, issue and share

Clear the checks, issue the numbered PDF and share it with a link the client can open on site.

Frequently asked questions

Does Report Kit 360 calculate volumes from my point cloud?

No. Volumes are calculated in your photogrammetry or survey software. Report Kit 360 takes the figures you enter and does the downstream arithmetic: net volume, tonnage from density, accuracy bands and totals, with the method and limitations recorded beside them.
