3D Virtual Construction Models for GPS Machine Control                     Call Today: 215-290-9530


"After meeting with MESH and reviewing the progress on our models for the extension of Runway 17-35 and the employee parking lot expansion at the Philadelphia International Airport, I was thoroughly impressed with the level of detail.  We have had great success on the parking lot and have complete confidence we will have the same results with the Runway extension.  It was well worth the investment." Joseph A. Scalfaro, Project Engineer, James J. Anderson Construction Co., Inc.


We take a different look at GPS data prep... we prepare 3D Virtual Construction Models.  These models are "Survey Quality", giving the contactor the highest quality data possible. 

ADVANTAGES OF “SURVEY QUALITY” GPS DATA

  • CONFLICTS AND PLAN ISSUES ARE IDENTIFIED AND RESOLVED PRIOR TO CONSTRUCTION START.
  • SURFACE IS BUILT TO THE ACTUAL HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL GEOMETRY AND DOES NOT RELY ON THE CONTOURS.
  • CONTOURS DRAWN BY THE ENGINEER ARE NOT ACCURATE ENOUGH TO USE FOR ANY FINE GRADING OF SUB BASE AREAS.  MOST ENGINEERS DO NOT DRAW THE CONTOURS TO MATCH THE DETAILS GIVEN FOR FEATURES SUCH AS BASINS AND SWALES.
  • THE DATA CAN BE SET UP ONCE AND BE USED FOR BOTH GRADING OPERATIONS AND STAKEOUT OF “HARD” IMPROVEMENTS SUCH AS UTILITIES AND CURBING.
  • REDUCE SURVEY LAYOUT COSTS BY:
    • SHARING DATA WITH SURVEYOR TO REDUCE CALCULATION TIME
    • LESS FIELD TIME NECESSARY DUE TO LESS STAKEOUT REQUIRED
    • CONFLICTS/PLAN PROBLEMS ARE ALREADY RESOLVED AND THE SURVEYOR WILL HAVE THE EXACT SAME INFORMATION THAT IS IN THE MACHINES
    • LESS RESTAKE-CAN BE STORED AND RECREATED WITH ROVER ON THE JOBSITE
  • LOWER SURVEY COSTS IN BID TO WIN MORE JOBS.  (USE YOUR COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE)

During our procedure for preparing an accurate 3D Virtual Construction model, our certified, professional engineers will review the plans for Quality Control, Accuracy, and Potential Constructability Issues.  We point out any discrepancies/conflicts and we will work with you and the design engineers to correct design/constructability problems, while holding the intent of any design. All of this will be done long before any of these problems cause delays during the construction of the project. 

We are experienced with preparing complex data including rough and fine road and pad grading, utilities, stormwater basins, and swales. MESH can also provide the data necessary for all stakeout including utilities, curbing, and other miscellaneous site improvements. All this data will be built to your specific standards…the way you like it.
