Offering a distinct perspective on your sites, Dragoneye empowers you with unparalleled capabilities to share and communicate insights in ways previously unimaginable. Developed in collaboration with Heidelberg Materials and in partnership with Ordnance Survey, Dragoneye serves as an instrumental resource in reducing costs and enhancing operational efficiency.
Some Key Features...
- Experience fully interactive models of your survey data with precision up to 1-3 cm. These models are versatile, viewable as surface models, terrain models (ground only), or detailed tiled models. Conveniently delivered online, they require no third-party software installation, ensuring accessibility and ease of use.
- Surveys can be juxtaposed to track site evolution, productivity, and maintain a golden record for your teams. Import plans directly from your BIM and CAD systems. Additionally, heat-map tools vividly outline areas requiring movement, removal, or filling, aligning precisely with your plans to mitigate risks of over-cutting and ensure precise earthworks.
- Easily measure anything by using your keyboard and mouse to draw points, lines, or polygon shapes. This intuitive interface allows for comprehensive calculations including volumetrics, stockpile and muck-away, as well as bench volumes and ground clearance modelling.
- Effortlessly share a survey with your teams, stakeholders, consultants, and subcontractors by entering their email addresses. Control access levels to ensure only the desired information is shared. Generate bespoke, detailed reports in PDF, XLSX, and CSV formats. Seamlessly integrate with internal systems. Save time and effort on monthly tasks, allowing you to concentrate on the core aspects of your business.
Measuring Through Interactions
Dragoneye sets itself apart by offering an interactive, intuitive tool suite, enabling comprehensive measurement of all visible elements. Each measurement can be saved for repeated use and shared, facilitating proactive earthworks management and operations streamlining. Highlighted below are four of the most frequently used features from our tool list, detailing what you can expect in terms of data and output from your interactive surveys with Dragoneye.
- Elevation History (Point)
- Cross section (line)
- Cross Section Comparison (line)
- Bund Check (line)
- Distance Check (line)
- Elevation Difference (line)
- Road Grade (line)
- Slope Angle (line)
- Basic Volume (polygon)
- Cutt / Fill (polygon)
- Bench volume (polygon)
- Quick Stockpile (polygon)
- Volume from Lowest Point (polygon)
- Volume Comparison (polygon)
All the tools listed above are available through Dragoneye, offering an intuitive and straightforward approach to conducting your surveys. They facilitate enhanced planning and execution of operations in quarrying and earthworks. With Dragoneye, you can communicate more effectively than ever, significantly reducing the likelihood of mistakes and conflicts throughout every phase of your projects.
Cross Section & Comparison Tools
By simply drawing a line on your model, you can view a cross-section that illustrates the terrain’s elevation changes along that line. This feature enables you to compare cross-sections directly with previous surveys or plans on the same line, allowing you to assess progress or determine how much material needs to be moved, removed, or filled. Such capabilities are invaluable for precise and efficient Earthworks planning.
Cut & Fill Tools
Cut and Fill operations often demand simple yet effective solutions despite their complex mathematical nature. Dragoneye simplifies this process by allowing you to draw around the designated area and automatically calculate a cut and fill grid. This calculation is based on either the base height established by your polygon drawing or a predefined level set by the user. The results are easily accessible for all users and can also be printed in report form for comprehensive review and documentation.
Bench & Clearance Volumes
In quarrying, accurate bench volume calculations are critical. By inputting the base density of the rock bench you intend to blast, our bench volume tool can provide a precise estimate of the material yield from a bench blast. This is accomplished simply by drawing a polygon around the targeted blasting area; the system then calculates the rest.
In construction, this same tool is invaluable for calculating the volume of material needed to level an area or remove ground features, streamlining both preparation and execution phases of your projects.
Quick Stock Pile & Muckaway
Stockpile and muck-away volumes are often contentious issues in the quarrying, gravel-pit, and construction industries. Dragoneye simplifies this by allowing you to draw around your pile to accurately determine cubic meters and mass. With thousands of data points per pile, you receive precise tonnage values, ensuring clarity and accuracy in your measurements. This level of detail is especially useful when soliciting quotes for muck-away services, reducing the potential for disputes caused by miscommunication.
More Than Just Pretty Colours
Dragoneye not only offers a visually appealing and strong representation for stockpile reporting, but it also provides substantial functionality. Each site can maintain its unique stock inventories as we’ve designed Dragoneye’s tools to be as useful and repeatable as possible. Users can effortlessly configure their ‘Materials List’ within Dragoneye’s settings.
This setup includes options for naming materials, specifying volumetric details such as mass, and assigning individual SKU and reference numbers. Additionally, users can select a color for each material, which will be associated with its values, streamlining the setup process to be completed just once but allowing for amendments as necessary.
All Information, One Simple Step
At Dragoneye Digital, we’ve meticulously crafted our stockpile reporting to be not only highly effective but also incredibly user-friendly. Drone survey collects a wealth of data points, allowing you to draw around your piles with precision, resulting in highly accurate and reliable data. For every pile you delineate, a corresponding entry is created in the database, with all related measurements linked to that specific pile.
Furthermore, as long as your piles remain approximately in the same location on the site, the outlines you draw become reusable for each survey. Our robust editing tools enable you to adjust your polygon and start the measurement process anew.
The simplicity of managing stockpiles in this manner is rivaled only by the system’s capability. By using consistent shapes to highlight the same stock and tracking shape changes over time, you can generate not just the current month’s stock report but also historical data that illustrates the fluctuation of your stock over time.
