Confidently Plan and Estimate Works Site With Drone
Trimble Stratus software helps civil contractors use drones to map, measure and share accurate information about their worksites and assets. With Stratus, you can make quicker decisions, avoid mistakes, and grow profits by always having the right information on hand.
How it works
Features and Benefits
Plan and Estimate
- Know what you’re quoting: Conduct your own site surveys before the job begins, and whenever changes occur
Survey Frequently and Faster
- Get accurate, up-to-date topographic surveys whenever you need without having to bring in a survey crew
Communicate Effectively
- A visual timeline keeps everyone on the same page
- Track site changes, avoid crossed wires, and resolve disputes quickly
Take Control
- Save on consultants and avoid information bottlenecks; get answers to questions yourself with an intuitive, web-based tool
Site Volumes
- Calculate overall material volumes added or removed from pits, stockpiles, cells, drainage channels, etc.
Design Checks
- Upload design file to compare actual surface to design surface and track progress
- Easily measure distances, slopes and heights to compare with site measurements
Site Management
Subcontractor Management
- Trimble StratusPerform quick volume calculations of material moved for progress payments
- See proof of site changes via a visual timeline
- Fewer disputes as your portal can be shared with subcontractors so everyone is on the same page
Road and Traffic Management
