Case Study: BURNCO Streamlines Stockpile Measurements with DroneDeploy

How BURNCO Streamlines Stockpile Measurements & Verifies Work with Drone Insights

BURNCO Rock Products Ltd., a large aggregate and mining company with operations across Canada and the U.S., needed a safer and more accurate way to measure stockpiles and verify reserve and asset data. Using DroneDeploy’s drone mapping and 3D modeling platform, BURNCO replaced manual stockpile checks that were often dangerous and inconsistent with accountants’ figures.

With DroneDeploy, BURNCO now captures high-density aerial data to verify work, measure stockpile volumes, and create defensible 3D models for reclamation and planning. The results included identifying a 10,000-ton stockpile discrepancy worth about $200,000, modeling a 443,000-ton quarry bench, and saving tens of thousands of dollars at a single site.
