Successful on-site measurement, whether checking, staking or using machine control systems depends upon the preparation and integrity of the design data. The software application used to prepare design data for on-site measurement and machine control systems must maintain this integrity whether design data comes in the form of a paper plan or a complete 3D digital model. SBG Geo Construction, a complete data preparation, editing and reporting software package can fulfil this requirement and much more.

We speak the language of your design data
The SBG philosophy is to use the shortest possible path from design to field. SBG, by working in close co-operation with local and international design software suppliers have produced an application that can import and export data formats that have become de facto industry standards as well as many data formats that are used only in specific regions. These formats include, amongst others:

• AutoCAD DWG
• AutoCAD DXF
• LandXML
• MX / Moss
• REB
• Ispol

Work with a range of different design models
Many different design entities from simple road align-ments to more complex road stringline, cross-section or layer models as well as digital terrain models and back-ground maps may be used with Geo Construction.

Send your design data to all of your machines and sensors from one package
Geo Construction is compatible with many different ma-chine control systems. The software supports a range of machine control systems and measurement sensors from SBG, Leica Geosystems and other equipment manufactur-ers including Topcon, Trimble, and Mikrofyn.

Calculate as-built cost estimates using volume analysis
The optional Geo Construction volumes module al-lows accurate surface to surface or surface to elevation volumes for cost estimation purposes. This module allows complete control of the surface models used for calcula-tion including boundaries and breaklines. The module may also be used for creating terrain profiles and sections.

Easy and quick quality control reporting
Geo Construction offers various standard reports for qual-ity control reporting. For example, a statistical check and tolerance report of deviations with respect to a design surface can be created at the click of a button.

Save time, save money
The Geo Construction package has an easy to use inter-face that allows you to be up and running in a short period of time. Use the self-training package delivered with the software or take advantage of one year’s free technical support that is included with the licence. In addition to the simple user interface, Geo Construction works the way you are used to, using the built-in AutoCAD® engine to open and edit native AutoCAD® drawings.
