The GeoSite Manager System is a set of software designed to take you from the beginning to the end of a job. The GeoSite Manager System takes the guesswork out of surveying, earthwork and machine control with accurate equipment positioning and rapid mapping. The functionality of the GeoSite Manager System is split into modules designed to perform specific survey and construction tasks. Follow the individual links to find more about each module.

An Example Application (site and road/highway construction)

To illustrate the utility of the wide functionality of the GeoSite Manager System, imagine a contractor doing the earthwork for a site or section of highway:

Prior to the bid, this contractor would use GCS: Topo to rapidly survey the site and verify the project engineer's data, potentially taking financial advantage of any of the engineer's miscalculations. Later, he would use GCS: Point to do the initial layout of the site, locating and marking the boundaries, building locations, etc. At this stage, he may also choose to use GCS: Point to put in grade stakes if he has coordinate data to work from.

When the contractor starts the job, he would use GCS: Field and/or GCS: Station (grade staking modules), to take the engineer's digital plan out to the field and build the job electronically. The software would save the contractor the work of interpreting the job with a set of paper prints, and make staking very easy and accurate. For any given point, the software could show the contractor his location on site and indicate how much above or below grade he is, allowing him to place grade stakes as needed.

For added security, the contractor could look at the job in profile before he puts in his first stake to see if either he or his engineer made a mistake. These modules would provide him with the flexibility to put stakes in rapidly and on his schedule, not on his surveyor’s schedule.

At any point in the project, the contractor could use GCS: Topo to verify conformance with the plans or measure the surface for job costing and completeness calculations. He could also use the GeoSite Manager System to check the work of subcontractors before investing money in their potential mistakes. If there are stock piles of materials left on the site by other contractors, the software would allow him to measure those piles and verify that he has the materials that he contracted for.

conclusion paragraph....

mention the use of more modules? ie: control, base, office, utility
