Wide Range of Services for Civil Engineering Projects

Technology is the backbone of modern civil engineering. The right plan sets and 3D models create a compelling visual experience, laying the framework and directing a project’s course from beginning to completion. Data allows civil engineers to analyze and visualize plans with practical information that ensures their success. TOPS wants to partner with you to integrate our services and the most accurate data into your projects seamlessly. 

We offer personalized civil engineering services for undertakings of every scope and size. When you outsource a portion or every aspect of a project to our team, you want to know what to expect. That’s why we familiarize ourselves with your approach to ensure a seamless data modeling process. 

If you’re ready to utilize technological advancements for better precision and data visualization, the experienced team at TOPS offers the following civil engineering services.

Takeoff Services for Civil Engineering 

Quantity takeoff is a pivotal aspect of civil engineering in terms of process decision-making. No matter how large or small a project is, this procedure helps you understand your scope and requirements. Highly accurate quantity takeoffs require specialized data management skills. Entrust this essential aspect of your planning, bidding and monitoring process to the experts at Take-off Professionals.

TOPS can create consistent and clear quantity takeoffs for large projects or multiple job sites, including material quantity lists, mass haul analyses or detailed strategies for earthmoving activities. You can use this valuable data throughout the project to ensure:

  • Accurate cost estimates for dirt and resources
  • Improved profitability and sustainability
  • Clear communication with project stakeholders  

We’ve helped civil engineering companies by delivering accurate and expedient construction quantity takeoff services across diverse projects for over two decades. Our care and competency can be seen in every aspect of our work.

3D and GPS Machine Control Modeling in Civil Engineering

Projects large and small now rely on GPS machine control for accuracy and time savings. This process involves several advanced instruments that provide precise data on equipment positioning. Operators of dozers and excavators can use the collected feedback to complete actions with meticulous care and practical efficiency. 

For machine control to be successful, the 3D model it’s based on must be complete and accurate. TOPS provides 3D machine control modeling services for civil engineers. These models typically include 2D utility layouts, data on equipment positioning, retention and sheet grading and other elements to help you complete projects with confidence and proficiency. 

Incorporating dependable 3D site models from TOPS into your earthmoving ventures can have many desired effects:

 

  • Improved heavy-duty machinery productivity
  • Decreased operational expenses, including labor, raw material costs and machinery maintenance
  • Reduced need for ongoing grade checking

    Civil Engineering Data Processing Services

    Data is a powerful tool that transforms how civil engineers approach modern project design, planning and management. Data-driven solutions offer greater precision and better project visualization, giving engineers the information they need to make safe, efficient and accurate decisions. At TOPS, we can take information collected from various sources and convert it into processed and practical 3D data for use in the field.

    In modern civil engineering, you use different technologies to meet a job’s unique requirements. TOPS data processing services are personalized to match each project, providing models and data in your preferred formats to achieve your overall goals.

    • Point cloud: TOPS uses three-dimensional data points to generate accurate 3D survey models with detailed information about a site’s terrain and other features. Our professional point cloud modeling services can improve every stage of a project, from initial mapping to continued project updates.
    • Photogrammetry mapping: Aerial photogrammetry mapping refines the accuracy of your 3D surface models. TOPS can apply aerial photographs of the landscape or drone-captured high-elevation images and translate this data into insightful information for your project needs. Civil engineers can utilize photogrammetry mapping during the planning and design phase to evaluate sites and compose 3D renderings of the terrain.
    • LiDAR modeling: Light detection and ranging (LiDAR) remote sensing technology obtains high-quality data for civil engineers, which our 3D technicians then use to create a comprehensive data set and a detailed 3D model of a job site.
