3D Pile is an application which offers outstanding capacity and versatility for accurate and efficient field measurement work as height measuring, slope angle, distance and efficient inventory of log piles &stockpiles of timber, wood chip, gravel and more.

3D Pile application offers these functions

• Log pile & stockpile inventory
• One shot height measuring
• Three-point height measuring
• Two-point height measuring
• Compass azimuth
• Vector measuring
• Slope angles

Connect to your USB port and open the data files that are stored as csv and kml files on the Geo device.

The log pile can be divided into sections. The sum of the sections’ length is equal to the total pile length. Measure and register pile width, assortment and wood volume factor for each section. The volume is accounted for with section number, number of heights, arithmetic mean height and volume for the section. Results include arithmetic mean width for all sections, arithmetic mean height of all measured heights and percentage of wood volume for all sections.

Stock Pile Volume

The 3D PILE function is useful to measure various types of piles and heaps. The same function can be used to calculate 2D areas, such as a clear-cut area or the inside of a building, etc. Measure the stock pile from different sides to create a three-dimensional image of the pile. The instrument saves the heights and coordinates for all the measuring points and all data is stored in CSV and KML format.

Work with the free ware application Heap Calc Vol for Windows, provided by Haglöf Sweden.

This application evaluates the target CSV data file and estimates the total area and volume for an area or a pile. Heap Calc Vol analyzes the positions for the base points, tilts up the heap if needed, and applies a 1x1m grid on the heap where the height of each grid point is calculated by the closest reference points using the K-nearest neighbour algorithm (k-NN method).

Comes with Laser Geo, Pile measurement software & non-magnetic monopod.
