Baton Rouge Drones provides accurate, reliable stockpile measurement for gravel pits, asphalt plants, and aggregate yards across Louisiana and Mississippi. We use drone photogrammetry to deliver precise volume and tonnage numbers on a monthly or quarterly basis — giving you consistent inventory data without the limitations of phone apps or inconsistent drone services.

Why Accurate Stockpile Measurement Matters

Knowing exactly how much material you have on hand is critical for production planning, sales, purchasing, and financial reporting. Many operations still rely on estimates, phone apps, or infrequent traditional surveys. This often leads to running short on material, over-ordering, or inaccurate inventory that affects your bottom line.

Regular drone stockpile measurements give you consistent, defensible numbers you can trust month after month.

What We Deliver

We measure stockpiles accurately and deliver clear reports that include:

• Volume (cubic yards) and estimated tonnage for each pile  

• Clear labeling by material type  

• Orthomosaic imagery showing pile locations and conditions  

• Comparison to previous measurements on recurring work  

We can accurately measure piles in open yards as well as stockpiles located under covered buildings with metal roofs — something many phone-based apps and drone services struggle with.

Frequency options:

• Monthly stockpile measurement (recommended for active operations)  

• Quarterly inventory checks  

• One-time measurements as needed

What Sets Us Apart

• Local pilot who understands gravel pit and aggregate operations  

• Ability to accurately measure stockpiles under covered buildings and metal roofs  

• More reliable results on tall piles compared to phone apps  

• Safety-focused — we follow proper protocols for active industrial sites  

• Option for deeper operational reporting (production tracking and cost per ton analysis) for clients who want more insight into efficiency  

Those subscribed to our monthly efficiency reporting program have found it extremely valuable for understanding their true production costs and making better operational decisions.
