Groundswell of interest in volume scanning from Florida’s construction sector
Quarry operators and civil contractors across Florida are transforming how they measure bulk material through advanced load volume scanning Florida technology from Loadscan. The technology provides accurate, real-time volume measurements that help streamline operations, reduce waste, and improve logistics on construction and quarry sites.
Early Adoption and Industry Impact
J McKinnon Development, represented in Florida by Reece Brimmer, was one of the state’s early adopters of volumetric scanning technology. Operating a shell mine, several sand mines, and civil construction projects, they use Loadscan to accurately track every yard of sand leaving their sites. This precision allows operators to bill fairly, monitor haul-back, and improve material haul management across multiple contractors.
Lawson Lamar, Vice President of J McKinnon, explains: “With Loadscan, we get accurate volume data and can represent exactly what’s loaded on each truck. We sell in volume, so we measure in volume. It’s simple, fair, and efficient.”
Expanding the Movement in Florida
Other Florida-based companies including JR Davis, S&L Materials, Hughes Brothers, P&S Paving, Southland, Transcor, WLW, and Swell Construction have also adopted Loadscan’s truck scanning systems. This growing adoption signals a regional shift toward technology-driven bulk material measurement and real-time data monitoring.
How Load Volume Scanning Improves Efficiency
Loadscan uses laser scanning combined with RFID truck identification to automatically record truck volumes in-motion. This eliminates manual paper tickets, reduces bottlenecks at scales, and allows multiple contractors to operate efficiently on the same site. Access to accurate, real-time data also mitigates risks of under-supply, biased loading, and sub-optimal truck utilization.
Load volumes calculated using traditional bulk densities are often inaccurate. Loadscan delivers an exact picture of material movement with +/-1% precision, giving both buyers and sellers a level playing field.
