Thursday - Materials & Underground Takeoff, Production Control from Drone Surveys

Learn to create a structures list and takeoff material quantities from PDF plans, drone images or integrated earthwork takeoff data. Learn how to takeoff underground utilities to calculate trench excavation, imported material quantities and depth bracket analysis. Learn how to fly dirt-simple drone surveys, process photogrammetry, and derive accurate progress quantities from ortho images and point clouds. Learn to motivate and empower the foreman on site by funneling geo-referenced, graphical production feedback directly to AGTEK apps on his cell phone or tablet.
