Why Tersus for Construction

How We Keep Your Project on Track

GNSS machine control eliminates guesswork. Your operators see the design surface in real-time, hit grade on the first pass, and keep the project moving without waiting for survey crews.

±3cm

Vertical Accuracy

Blade and bucket positioning within centimeters for precise grade control.

20Hz

Update Rate

Real-time blade position updates for smooth automatic control.

50%

Less Rework

Hit design grade first time without manual checking and corrections.

Grade Stakes

Eliminate the cost and delays of traditional survey staking.

Verify Every Stage

Construction Layout & QA/QC

Double-check that every stage of construction matches the digital design. Catch deviations in real-time and fix them on the spot before they become expensive rework.

Import design files directly to field controller
Centimeter-accurate stakeout for foundations and utilities
As-built recording for compliance documentation
Compare built conditions to design tolerance in real-time
