Earthwork Volume Determination by Terrestrial Photogrammetry

Profile determination before, during and after excavation on a building site can be done simply and quickly by terrestrial photogrammetry. With this method we avoid the long field measurements and hindrances during construction. The main advantage is that any staking and restaking, if stakes become damaged, is unnecessary. The method is economically competitive with other methods and was tested on the construction site of a steelworks. The results are precise enough to determine the volumes of earthworks.
