Steel · Stockpile measurement
A repeatable view of a raw-material yard.
Iron ore, coal, coke and limestone, reviewed pile by pile. A recurring measurement programme brings the physical stockyard into the inventory conversation.

The question
A raw-material yard combines several materials and many individual piles. The review has to keep pile identity, location and measurement basis clear enough for operations and finance to use the information together.
The approach
At JSW Bhushan Power & Steel, the engagement centres on recurring photogrammetric measurement of iron ore, coal, coke and limestone piles. Pile-level volume records and a historical baseline give the inventory review a consistent view of the yard across reporting periods.
The outputs
- Pile-level volumetric reporting
- A baseline for comparison between measurement periods
- Inventory records for the client’s review workflow
What makes the information useful
Recurring measurement is useful when each visit can be read against a consistent basis. Material density and reconciliation inputs remain part of the project-specific inventory calculation.
