What is Stakeless Grading?

What’s the greatest source of delay on your jobs? Placing, and replacing stakes has been a necessary headache in construction, until now. GPS machine control combines two fantastic technologies, Satellite Positioning and Digital 3D models, so that your machine operators can

see themselves moving on the site plan in real time, with cut/fill information constantly displayed anywhere. This gives them much more information than stakes can, and faster. And now, one grade checker can work the whole site because the machines are independent. Everyone knows exactly where they are, and they have all the job information at their fingertips! That’s stakeless grading!

Sensor Freedom

Topcon has a long history of leadership in machine control. They build a wide variety of sensors, each of which has applications where it is clearly the best choice. Want to use a laser? A sonic system? Need the high accuracy of a total station? Want to blend your sensors on a single machine? Topcon allows what they call Sensor Freedom: you choose the sensor type(s) best suited to your application, plug them in to your Topcon machine control system, and off you go. Topcon’s component-based system takes it all in stride, so you can too.

Network Ready

Most users rely on their own base stations for the necessary correction signal that makes GPS+ so amazingly accurate. But pre-existing networks are spreading rapidly. If there’s one in your area, you can dial in through your built-in cell modem, and spare the expense of purchasing and maintaining your own base station. Topcon grade control systems are designed to run from either base stations or network signals, so you have the freedom to choose the solution that fits your needs.
