TRIMBLE STRATUS

DRONE DATA PLATFORM FOR CONSTRUCTION

Trimble Stratus is a cloud-based aerial intelligence platform designed for the construction and earthmoving industry. Using drone technology, it captures high-resolution imagery of your job site and transforms it into accurate 3D models, orthomosaics, and digital surface models — giving your team a clear, up-to-date picture of what’s happening on the ground.

From monitoring progress and tracking site changes to making confident decisions at every stage of a project, Trimble Stratus keeps your whole team working from the same reliable data.

Beyond site visibility, Trimble Stratus includes powerful analytics tools for volume calculations, cut and fill analysis, and stockpile measurement — helping civil contractors and earthmoving operators manage projects more efficiently and get the most out of every machine hour.

DRONE DATA ANALYTICS

Put your drone data to work with powerful analytics tools built for civil construction and earthmoving operations.

  • Site Volumes: Accurately calculate material volumes across pits, stockpiles, drainage channels, and more — on demand, without a survey crew.
  • Design Checks: Load your design files directly into the platform, then compare them against actual site conditions. Measure distances, slopes, and heights with confidence.
  • Subcontractor Management: Run volume calculations to support progress payment claims and share a visual site timeline to resolve disputes quickly and fairly.
  • Road & Traffic Management: Measure road parameters, verify haul road conformance against design, and use real data to optimise your traffic and haulage plans.
  • Safety: Send drones into hazardous or hard-to-reach areas instead of people. Conduct remote site inspections and monitor slope angle changes over time to stay ahead of risk.
  • Environmental Responsibilities: Capture detailed, high-resolution site imagery to demonstrate compliance with environmental and regulatory requirements.
  • Project Efficiency: Integrates seamlessly with Trimble software to deliver more accurate surveys, tighter budgets, fewer unnecessary site visits, and faster data sharing across your team.

Propeller - how it works

HOW IT WORKS

Getting accurate site data with Propeller is a straightforward six-step process:

  1. Set out your ground control points across the site to ensure survey-grade accuracy.
  2. Fly your drone over the area you want to capture — covering the full extent of your worksite.
  3. Upload your ground control data to the Trimble Stratus platform.
  4. Upload your drone imagery — typically takes around 30 minutes to complete.
  5. Your dataset is processed automatically in the cloud — no manual processing required.
  6. View, analyse, and share your site maps and 3D models with your team and stakeholders.
