GPS Site Survey for Civil Engineers

Survey project sites, calculate earthwork volumes, and plan infrastructure—all from your phone. Quick reconnaissance surveys without expensive equipment.

Survey Project Sites

Walk site boundaries with GPS tracking. Get instant area measurements for preliminary project planning and site analysis.

Calculate Earthwork Volumes

Measure excavation areas and cut/fill zones. Export data for detailed volume calculations and cost estimation.

Export to CAD Software

Export measurements to KML, GeoJSON, and Shapefile formats. Import directly into AutoCAD, Civil 3D, and GIS platforms.

How Engineers Use LandLens

Preliminary Site Surveys

Conduct quick reconnaissance surveys before deploying survey crews. Measure site boundaries, identify key features, and plan detailed survey work.

  • Walk site perimeter with GPS tracking
  • Identify access points and constraints
  • Generate preliminary site area calculations

Infrastructure Planning

Plan road alignments, utility corridors, and development layouts. Export measurements to engineering software for detailed design work.

  • Map proposed road and utility routes
  • Calculate right-of-way requirements
  • Export to Civil 3D for detailed design

Earthwork Estimation

Measure cut and fill areas for preliminary earthwork estimates. Calculate volumes for bidding and project cost estimation.

  • Outline excavation and fill zones
  • Generate rough volume estimates
  • Support preliminary cost analysis

Field Documentation

Document existing site conditions and as-built measurements. Create georeferenced records of project features and site changes.

  • Record as-built site features
  • Track construction progress
  • Generate project documentation

Frequently Asked Questions

Is phone GPS accurate enough for engineering surveys?

Phone GPS provides 3-5 meter accuracy, suitable for preliminary site surveys, rough earthwork estimates, and project planning. For final engineering drawings, professional survey equipment is recommended.

Can I export measurements to CAD software?

Yes! LandLens exports to KML, GeoJSON, and Shapefile formats that can be imported into AutoCAD, Civil 3D, and other engineering software.

How do engineers use LandLens for earthwork calculations?

Measure site boundaries and excavation areas to calculate volumes. Export measurements to engineering software for detailed earthwork analysis and cost estimation.
