Volume Computations
Our surveyors are experienced at estimating excavation pit volumes and dredge volumes using both linear and nonlinear survey methods. Data can be obtained through land or hydrographic surveying and is often a combination of the two. Calculating these volumes are important for many engineering and construction projects and will often determine pay for the construction contractor.
