STOCKPILE

Stockpile Volume & Tonnage Measurement

STREAM measures the volume and tonnage of material piles directly from your terrain surface. Pick the reference plane and material type, and get a clean stockpile figure with a print-ready PDF report for mining, quarry and earthworks sites.

How is stockpile volume measured?

Stockpile volume is the material above a reference base — the toe of the pile. The result depends on how that base is defined, so a good reference mode matters.

Multiplying volume by material density gives tonnage, which is what most inventory and reconciliation reports actually need.

Stockpile Volume Software in STREAM

Reference-plane volume

Compute the pile volume above a chosen reference base, with several reference modes for the pile toe.

Volume to tonnage

Apply material density to convert volume to tonnage for inventory and reconciliation.

PDF report

Export a print-ready PDF stockpile report you can hand straight to a client or auditor.

Works on any surface

Measure piles on DEMs or point-cloud-derived surfaces, fully offline.

Frequently asked questions

How does STREAM measure stockpile volume?

It computes the material volume above a chosen reference base (the pile toe), with several reference modes, directly from the terrain surface.

Can STREAM report tonnage?

Yes. Apply the material density and STREAM converts volume to tonnage, and exports a print-ready PDF report.

Is it suitable for mining and quarries?

Yes. Stockpile volume and tonnage with a PDF report is built for mining, quarry and earthwork inventory.
