How Loadscan’s LVS Helps Fulton Hogan Improve Earthworks Compliance
Maintaining earthworks compliance is a critical part of quarrying and construction activity in New Zealand, especially in regions with strict resource consent requirements like Queenstown. To support accurate reporting and improved material tracking, Fulton Hogan’s Queenstown quarry has invested in Loadscan’s Load Volume Scanner (LVS) to measure large volumes of clean fill entering the site from multiple major projects, including the Queenstown Airport expansion.
Meeting Resource Consent Obligations
The Queenstown Lakes District Council sets tight guidelines around earthworks management. Quarries must be able to provide accurate, verifiable records of material movement to stay within approved limits.
Accurate Volume Measurement for Regulatory Reporting
The LVS gives Fulton Hogan the tools to confidently meet consent requirements. By precisely tracking incoming loads, the team can maintain compliance, avoid overfill issues, and ensure full transparency with regulators.
Why Fulton Hogan Chose the Load Volume Scanner
Proven Reliability in Local Quarry Operations
Fulton Hogan’s decision was strongly influenced by their experience using their neighbour’s LVS. Queenstown Hardfill LTD—one of Loadscan’s earliest customers—has been using the technology for over a decade. Seeing consistent performance in a real-world quarry environment highlighted the system’s long-term reliability and value.
Removing Guesswork with Automated Scanning
The LVS eliminates guesswork and human error by using laser scanning, RFID technology, and advanced software to create a true 3D model of every truck and trailer bin. Each automated drive-through scan provides exact volumetric measurement, improving the accuracy of material verification, load tracking, and earthworks reporting.
