Machine Control
Files and Models
Having years of experience running heavy equipment that utilizes machine control, 3D Surface Lab has an unparalleled understanding of how the equipment performs based on the surfaces created. TIN surfaces are not all equal. Simplifying intricate and detailed plans to ensure that all of the grade breaks are realized and the engineer's intentions are met is crucial to making machine control files. When you can create files that can be processed quickly by your grading equipment, you can deliver your project faster with a more polished look using less experienced operators. If desired, we can ensure all data provided is available to you including proposed utilities so that stockpiles will not need to be moved twice. We can create files for Leica, Topcon, and Trimble systems.
Civil Takeoffs
Do you need help preparing takeoffs and calculating earthwork quantities? We can quickly turn around takeoffs to give you confidence in preparing your bids and proposals. Want to know how much topsoil you need to spread on your roadway? We can help you determine how much is needed to be stockpiled on each side so that you will not have to cross pavement. Let’s find ways to make you more efficient and more profitable together.
Underground Utility Files and Models
Advancements in automated machine control has lead to more contractors utilizing GPS excavators in underground utility construction. 3D Surface Lab can build files for storm and sanitary sewer and water main. Need to ensure you maintain the proper separation between utilities at critical crossings or minimum cover? We can design a surface file to speed your production and keep your crews on line and grade. You will be amazed at how much time you can save not constantly realigning yourself on long runs of pipe.
Value Engineering Review
Are you preparing to build? Request a consultation to review your plans before they are finalized. Many times a second set of eyes can reveal value engineering ideas that can save you significant costs and still deliver the desired outcome.
Personal Design
Wanting to build a pond, driveway, or homesite, or working with a client that does? We can work with you design a site that you can view in 3D, make changes and help provide input on so that your project, or better yet, your dream, becomes a reality.
