    Once you have the "data" how do you use it to stake the site? We will take you through the process as well as give you a general knowledge of the total station and data collector. Total stations and TDS data collectors will be used to teach you how to get it done !
         
    This is a hands-on training with class room and outside sessions. Dress for any weather. $ 200.00 per person
         
 
  SITE STAKING WITH GPS TRAINING February 2008
    (date subject to change w/weather)
   

GPS is the wave of the future in the construction industry, just pick up any trade publication and see the excitement it is creating. We will start with a review of "GETTING THE DATA", followed by a discussion of how GPS works, it's benefits & limitations compared to other measuring tools. Attendees will use pre-loaded data to learn the processes necessary to operate a GPS system for staking.

You will learn how to use GPS for:
  • simple point staking: manholes, catch basins, radius points...
  • line staking: curbing, road centerlines, pipe runs.....
  • creating & staking offsets
  • cut/fill staking
  • pile volume measuring

    This is a 2-day, hands-on training, with class room and outside sessions. Dress for any weather. $ 300.00 per person

Featuring Carlson TAKE-OFF & SurvCE !
This seminar is designed to answer the many questions site contractors have about quantity estimating and GPS site staking. If you are not moving forward with technology, then you are falling behind. Software improvements are reshaping Earthwork management by cutting estimating time and improving accuracy at the same time. GPS is the wave of the future and you cannot afford to ignore it.

Attend this seminar and see how the latest cut/fill estimating software and GPS staking systems can help you compete.

We will discuss digital “AutoCAD” data and how it is quickly becoming the standard means of exchanging drawings, and show you:

  • The difference in accuracy between “digitizing” and CAD data
  • How easy it is to convert 2D drawings to 3D surfaces
  • How easy it is to generate accurate quantities from 3D data
  • How to quickly account for material volumes: process, topsoil, asphalt etc.
  • How 3D viewing tools are used to find errors
  • How to create quantity reports and place on the drawing and plot them for your field crews to plan their work from

The afternoon hands-on session will show you how to utilize the same estimating work for GPS staking ! We will take the surface data and load it into a GPS system and show you how easy it is to stake your jobsite yourself.
