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.”
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?

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.
