Measure and Manage Your Site Yourself

Get more done with a clear view of where you are and where you’re headed.

Features and Benefits

trimble-stratus-1

Confidently Plan and Estimate

Know what you’re quoting—conduct your own site surveys before the job begins, and whenever changes occur
Get frequent, detailed images of site boundaries and protected areas to easily demonstrate your conformance with regulatory requirements
Tighter plans and budgets as a result of more frequent and accurate volume data

trimble-stratus-2

Survey Frequently and Faster

Get accurate, up-to-date topographic surveys whenever you need without having to bring in a survey crew
Avoid information bottlenecks by getting answers to questions yourself with an intuitive, web-based tool
Survey inaccessible or hazardous areas safely using a drone

trimble-stratus-3

Site Volumes

Calculate overall material volumes added or removed from pits, stockpiles, cells and drainage channels
Measure stockpile volumes more frequently and safely to enable better stockpile management

trimble-stratus-4

Communicate Effectively

A visual timeline keeps everyone on the same page
Track site changes, avoid crossed wires and resolve disputes quickly
Fewer site visits needed when people can track progress and inspect work remotely, manage more sites more easily

trimble-stratus-5

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

trimble-stratus-6

Aggregates Operations

Know the exact volume of material moving in and out of stockpiles and pits to improve inventory management
Tailor production to customer demand with more frequent and accurate stockpile and pit volume data
Optimize traffic management by ensuring that road grades, widths and cross slopes meet design specifications

Applications

Industry	Applications
Civil Construction	Tracking progress against the design Quality assurance Subcontractor management Capture topos Create excavation and backfill maps Quick volume calculations for contract fulfillment and payment Proof of location changes with a visual timeline
Quarry	Monitor and manage inventory Manage mining and blasting operations Inspection of equipment and supervision of contractors Organization of roads and traffic Compare volumes before and after blasting Measure blasting surface angles Calculate borehole depths Inspect explosion fragment areas safely Manage pit stock volume and calculate removed volume Calculate slope and pit angles Track compliance with surface-to-model comparisons Monitor inclination changes to control slipping Remote wall inspections by geotechnical engineers Export 3D DXF and point cloud files Optimize traffic plans with updated site maps Guide staff to intended locations Reduce cycle times and optimize mobile system efficiency Inspect areas before/after major events like heavy rains
Mining	Track mine status Measure stockpile volume Check road gradient Generate terrain maps Upload planning areas to track progress Compare measurements over time Identify non-compliance early Improve inventory estimates
Waste	Monitor landfill progress and productivity Check cell volume, air space, and density Calculate airspace for EPA reporting Maximize compaction rates over time Improve compliance reporting and airspace management

trimble-stratus-mobile-map-add-on

Contractors can use the Trimble Stratus mobile map add-on to generate and share simple, interactive maps from the office to the field.

Field teams can use the maps to work collaboratively, understand designs, and check earthworks progress. A realistic, aerial view helps them stay informed and orient themselves on the ground.

Each map has a unique URL that opens on any browser, any device—without the need to install apps or remember login details.

Understand the design relative to location and the current state of the project
Share earthworks progress quantities and perform cut/fill elevation checks
Show utility layouts to improve awareness and reduce risks associated with underground services
