Survey, drafting, and RTK support that keeps your project moving.
From the first survey to the final cut, all handled under one roof. So that you build it right the first time, catch issues before they cost you, and cut out the re-work that eats your schedule and budget.
Our core is getting your operators cutting on grade the first pass with innovative machine control. To do that you need quality data. It’s all built on the 3D model loaded in the cab, the centimetre-accurate RTK correction signal that positions the machine, and the survey groundwork.
Find The Right System For Your Operation
3D MODELLING & DRAFTING
Machine-ready 3D modelling. We generate 3D models and linework for use in your own Machine/Grade Control and GPS systems, optimizing the efficiency and accuracy of your project.
Drafting — Cutsheets your crews can build from
Layout drawings for reference of fieldwork, so your crews have accurate cutsheets when they need them.
Volumetric Calculations — Billing that matches the dirt moved
Monthly earthworks volume calculations and progress reporting — keeping you informed and your billing accurate and up to date.
As-Built Record Drawings — A clear record of completed work
Digital redline drawings showing the location and elevation of completed works, and flagging any changes or updates needed.
SURVEY
Field surveying tailored to each project’s specific needs, using leading industry technologies to keep your work accurate and efficient from day one.
Construction Layout — Get it right the first time
Precise offset and reference points for heavy civil works, so foundations, utilities, and structures are placed accurately to meet building codes — saving you time and money by avoiding rework and delays.
As-Built Surveys — Confidence in what’s in the ground
Detailed data collection of completed civil infrastructure and earthworks — documenting the location, elevation, and dimensions of everything on site as a reliable record for future work.
Topographic Surveys — Know your site before you commit
Up-to-date ground topography — a precise map of elevation, contours, and site features to inform engineering, construction, and job site development decisions.
WIZNET VRS NETWORK
Access real-time kinematic (RTK) correction data from a network of reference stations for highly accurate surveying and mapping with wide coverage and fast signal acquisition, so your crews stay productive in more places.
Flexible Corrections — Single base or VRS
Access both single base and VRS correction data based on your distance to the closest towers, delivered over reliable NTRIP technology.
Full Constellation — Double the satellites
Advanced receivers track 800+ channels of GNSS across GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou — for a fast, accurate position fix.
Wide Coverage — Work in more places
Coverage across Vancouver Island, the Sunshine Coast, Sea to Sky corridor, Greater Vancouver, the Fraser Valley, and Merritt BC — with expansion into the BC interior.
