I had to WORK yesterday and today. We flew a project to calculate volumetric totals. It is a landfill, and the county pays us to fly it, and calculate the volume to double check against what the company running the landfill claims they added. It is all about tax revenue, and to check what the company claims. The company counts the trucks coming in, and weighs each truck. They should be super accurate, but it is real easy to sorta forget to weigh a few trucks.

Our client is the surveyor that put down ground control targets. I have to go in and punch in the XYX of the targets and the computer makes a map. The surveyor stamps it, and it is a survey. It is easy to calculate the volume of the mounds compared to ground level of the targets put down. Then use the previous year, and do a bit of subtraction and addition and bingo you have the increase in volume in cubic yards.
