Construction materials and related management, handling, and storage provisions account for a large part of road construction expenses. For that reason, improved material flow monitoring techniques can achieve significant cost and time savings, as well as better quality control. The study assessed the performance of a solid-state pulsed time-of-flight laser lidar profilometer in measuring the volume of soil stockpiles and road layer thicknesses. The 3D (X, Y, Z, and intensity) image calculation was based on the analysis of multiple combined point clouds measured with an excavator-integrated profilometer. Error analysis confirmed the accuracy of road layer thickness estimation within one centimetre and an error level of approximately 3% when measuring soil stockpile volumes. In combination with a theoretical model of the superstructure, this 3D measurement technique can help contractors and supervisors to ensure road quality.
