How it works on your site
The Propeller Platform is a cloud-hosted drone photogrammetry and site analytics service for earthworks, road, and mining projects. Teams fly their own drones, upload photos, and receive georeferenced 3D site models, cut/fill volumes, stockpile measurements, design conformance overlays, and progress reports with a guaranteed 24-hour processing turnaround. Propeller has been shipping since 2014, with customers across the US, Europe, and Australia.
Drone Survey and Aerial Documentation
The platform processes uploaded drone photos into orthophotos, point clouds, and digital surface models without pre-mapping or CAD preparation. Composite stitching handles corridor projects too long for a single flight. Stockpile and quarry volumes are measured directly in the platform, and scheduled daily reports deliver volume heatmaps and load counts to the team.

Will it work on your site
- Site prep
- Deploy AeroPoint ground control markers before each flight (30 to 60 min typical setup)Minimum one AeroPoint for PPK accuracy; three recommended for redundancy
- BIM/CAD integration
- Autodesk BIM 360, Autodesk Build, Procore, Trimble Connect, IFC importAlso supports HCSS, Aconex, and file exports to Trimble Business Center, Carlson, Vulcan
- Processing turnaround
- 4 to 12 hours typical; 24-hour targetData quality issues can extend processing beyond 24 hours
- Coverage per flight
- Up to 250 acres per flight (M300 + P1 configuration)Coverage varies by drone model, flight altitude, and camera sensor
