Digital Stationing vs. Physical Stationing

We finished paving and went to mark the passing zones, but maintenance already mowed and took out the station stakes.
— Brent Muscha, Project Manager

OnStation is a collaborative digital stationing platform with a mobile app that provides live station/offset and location-based documentation. Physical stationing is manually installed and measured using tangible station markers.

What’s the

main difference?

OnStation

LIVE STATION OFFSET IN THE FIELD

Real-time GPS Stationing: Instantly know your location on the jobsite in reference to station, mile marker, lat/long, LRS.

Increased Project Visibility: View plan information in reference to location and station offset.

Instant Conversion: Instatly convert STA with offset to MM, LL, or LRS.

Pricing: Subscription pricing for unlimited projects.

Physical Stationing

SIGNS, STAKES, PAINT

Physical Station Markers: Labor intensive to install and maintain, prone to being disturbed or removed.

Manual Calculations: Station offset and converting STA to MM, LL, or LRS are calculated manually.

Average Cost: $8,500 is the average cost to survey and stake a highway construction project.
