Summary

This full report (link above) presents the volumetric analysis and site evaluation for the Pine Hill Sand Pit in Gates, NY, covering a 9.93-acre stockpile. The analysis utilizes high-resolution orthomosaic imagery, Digital Surface Models (DSM), and Digital Surface Terrain (DST) models to ensure accurate measurements. The collected data confirms a stockpile volume of 367,595 yd3 and meets survey-grade standards, with a Ground Sample Distance (GSD) of 1.37 cm, exceeding the industry threshold of 3.048 cm (0.1 ft) for survey-grade accuracy.

Digital Surface Model (DSM) – Elevation & Stockpile Analysis

The DSM visualizes elevation variations across the site using a color gradient (blue to purple), where warmer colors indicate higher elevations. You will notice in this model the trees showing in yellow and slight organge colors.  This is critical for:

    • Understanding stockpile heights and terrain shifts.
    • Evaluating excavation potential and optimal removal strategies.
    • Detecting inconsistencies in material distribution.

Digital Terrain Model (DTM) – True Ground Representation

The DTM model removes above-ground objects (e.g., trees, shrubs) to provide an accurate ground-level terrain profile using or purple, to blue to yellow shading. This aids in:

    • Establishing a baseline for volume calculations.
    • Determining true elevation differentials.
    • Planning efficient material transport routes.
