Volume Calculation

Volume Calculation
Volume Calculation is a feature that allows easy extraction of
volumetric information of an area providing a user with very good
volume approximation for record and planning purposes.

FARO AEC Solutions involves


use of a complete set of FARO
hardware and software products
that allows a user to accurately
capture as built environments
and afterwards extract
information easily. A laser
scanner is used to capture the As
Built environment and the SCENE
software is used to process the
data. The Volume Calculation app
allows extraction of volumes.

Conventional Method
Volume Calculation
Companies typically had their engineers use a laser range finder or Total
Station or GNSS to calculate volume of stockpiles.

Laser Scanning Solution
Advantages
 Document area quickly and in 3D using FARO’s
terrestrial laser scanner.
 Use SCENE’s easy to use clipping boxes to
isolate target area for volume calculation
 Use SCENE’s volume calculation app to
automatically mesh target stockpile and auto
generate volume information.
 Point cloud data information usable for
purposes other than volume calculation like
whole warehouse area calculation, warehouse
planning and documentation of existing
stockpiles at specific time periods.

Tip: Pure volume calculation application does
not require colored scans. Turn off color before
scan to cut down scanning time by half. Scan
