High-precision drone surveying and real-time earthwork insights for civil construction, mining, and quarries

Propeller is a platform that delivers real-time, high-precision insights to teams moving earth. We combine drone surveying, machine telematics, and integrated mapping to give construction and mining operators the clarity they need to plan with confidence, verify progress, and keep projects on track.

From day-to-day site checks to verifying volumes against design, Propeller provides a single, visual source of truth that connects field crews, office teams, and stakeholders. With accurate data captured from drones and smart machine sensors, teams can measure, monitor, and manage work without delays or rework.

Propeller integrates with Autodesk tools, including Civil 3D and Autodesk Construction Cloud, making it easy to align designs, compare as-built conditions, and share updates directly within familiar workflows.

Today, thousands of users around the world rely on Propeller to:

  • Verify production daily
  • Track progress against design
  • Automate reporting for stakeholders
  • Reduce rework and costly mistakes
  • Improve collaboration across the jobsite

Whether you’re building data centers, highways, or mine haul roads, Propeller provides the insights you need to move earth smarter, safer, and more efficiently.

"We were within 2/100ths of a foot of our LiDAR scan. Propeller just works."

Use Cases

Real-time cut/fill tracking

Monitor earthwork progress as it happens. Propeller’s platform combines drone surveys and machine telematics to show daily cut and fill volumes, letting project managers identify deviations from design, reduce rework, and make confident decisions without waiting for weekly surveys.

Stockpile measurement

Measure and monitor stockpiles with high precision. Propeller provides survey-grade data on volume and material movement, empowering teams to plan loadouts, reduce material waste, and verify deliveries in real time—all without adding extra site visits.

Daily production verification

Confirm that work completed each day meets project goals. Propeller automates reporting on machine activity, run and idle time, and material moved, so teams can track performance, address bottlenecks quickly, and share reliable updates with stakeholders.

Design alignment with Civil 3D

Compare as-built conditions against design effortlessly. Propeller integrates with Autodesk Civil 3D, giving engineers and contractors a clear visual of deviations, enabling faster adjustments, minimizing costly errors, and keeping construction on schedule.

Collaboration across teams

Connect office and field in a single, visual platform. Propeller allows teams to share real-time site updates, measurements, and maps, reducing miscommunication, ensuring everyone works from the same data, and improving transparency across projects.

Prevent disputes with visual records

Maintain a reliable, visual record of site conditions. Propeller captures survey-grade evidence of work completed, enabling teams to resolve conflicts quickly, verify progress with clients or regulators, and reduce risk without adding administrative overhead.
