Getting lost is margin loss.Stop running jobs blind.
Live station on every phone. Every photo tied to where it was taken. Every pay app with the record behind it. The primes leading heavy/highway work aren’t doing it on paper. They’re running OnStation.

A modern prime runs a job like this.
Crews don’t hunt. They navigate.
Photos have stations. Records have proof.
Closeout is built, not pulled.
What running this way actually looks like.
Mathy runs density tests in less than half the time. Hoffman’s foreman catches what the locate marks miss. RS&H’s I-4 inspector resolves disputes in seconds. Three primes, three real jobs, three real outcomes — here’s how the work happens.
1 Use Case · Density Tests & Paving QC
Density tests done before the cold roller catches up.
On STH 108, Mathy Construction’s density technicians used to take tests behind the paver, then drive back to the office to record results. 140 test locations per project. 16-hour days. With OnStation, tests happen in-app, geotagged, with photo evidence — before the cold roller catches up to where the paver was.
Before OnStation
Wheel out, test, drive in, type up.
- Find test location with tape and wheel
- Capture test reading at the location
- Open laptop in office, load spreadsheet, type results
- No photo data captured at the test location
- Total: ~15 min per test · 16-hour work days
With OnStation
Open the app. Drop a flag. Test. Done.
Mathy’s techs open OnStation, navigate directly to the test location, drop a flag, capture the reading, and snap a geotagged image — all on the phone they already carry.
- Direct navigation to test station — no tape, no wheel
- Reading + photo captured on a flag, in-app
- Geotagged image is part of the record automatically
- 67% less time per test (15 min → 5 min)
- Two hours back per tech, per day
This is the form on the tech’s phone. Density Test 3, Reading 1: Density Count 1983, Moisture Count 208, Wet Density 145.6. Captured on station, in-app, with the geotagged photo attached. Reading 2 is right below it. Two readings on one screen. Two hours back on the time card.
Mathy Construction · STH 108 (Project 92674)
“Saving two hours a day on a technician’s time card is $100 a day. Multiply that by our 180-day paving season and just one employee, you can save a considerable amount of money. We have 75 QC employees — the numbers add up pretty quickly.”
Derek Frederixson, QC Manager, Mathy Construction · saved per density tech, per season
2 Use Case · Utility Strike Avoidance
Know what’s under the surface before the bucket goes in.
Common Ground Alliance puts utility strikes at 4.51 per project on average — even with clear dig tickets. Hoffman Construction’s foreman pulls design overlays on his phone before breaking ground. Locate marks are one source of truth. The map underneath is another. He checks both.
Before OnStation
Trust the dig ticket. Hope it’s right.
- Locate request submitted, locate marks painted
- Crew breaks ground based on visible marks
- Strike happens despite a clear ticket
- $20K average cost · deductibles, delays, injuries, fines
- 4.51 strikes per project (CGA national average)
With OnStation
Pull up the utilities tab. See what’s actually there.
Hoffman’s foreman pulls the utilities tab on his phone before the bucket goes in. Design overlays show what’s actually under the surface — not just what’s painted on it.
- Design overlays loaded directly to the phone
- Live alignment + utility map at the foreman’s exact location
- One minute of due diligence before breaking ground
- Three strikes avoided on a single project
- ~$60K in real costs prevented — that’s before the schedule impact
What the foreman pulls up before breaking ground. Real flag from a real project — Unmarked Utility tagged at station 801+38 15L on Highway 59. Design overlays, station numbers along the alignment, photo evidence, and full chain of custody. One minute of due diligence. Done before the bucket goes in.
Hoffman Construction · Single project
“OnStation has saved at least three utility strikes when I had clear dig tickets. It takes about a minute to pull up the utilities tab and see what is around me.”

3 Use Case · Pay App & Change Order Defense
Defensible records, ready in seconds.
Three months after the work is poured, a quantity gets challenged. A guardrail location gets disputed. The prime running OnStation filters by station range, pulls the photo, sends the timestamp. On the I-4 corridor in Tampa, RS&H’s senior CEI inspector resolved a guardrail dispute on the spot — in seconds. That’s the standard now.
Before OnStation
Search the binder. Find the daily report. Hope the photo is labeled.
- Daily reports in paper binders or scattered emails
- Photos sitting on personal phones, no project context
- Quantities argued by whoever has more paperwork
- Days or weeks to assemble a defensible response
- Disputes that take weeks to resolve — or get conceded
With OnStation
Filter by station. Pull the photo. Send the timestamp.
Every flag is station-stamped, time-stamped, and photo-anchored from the moment it was dropped. Filter the Data Portal by station range, export the relevant flags as PDF, send it back the same day.
- Every flag carries station, offset, time, and photo
- Filter and export by station range, date, or work type
- Disputes resolved in seconds, not days
- SOC 2 Type II certified — audit-ready from day one
- Annual legal cost reduction: $20K+ per Buyers Guide
The Project Activity view — closeout already lives here. 22 users. 91 flags. 105 photos. 58 forms. Filter by date or by user, then Export CSV. Three months later when the DOT challenges a quantity, the answer is a file lookup — not a binder hunt.
RS&H · I-4 Corridor, Tampa FL
“You use it once and you realize the value of it. Hands down, digital stationing is always going to point you in the right direction.”
Chris Lundberg, Senior CEI Inspector, RS&H · guardrail dispute resolved on the spot
