Who We Are
The Leading Digital Stationing Platform: With the OnStation app, CAD files for heavy highway road construction projects are viewable on any phone, allowing users to access a live digital station and offset reading wherever they are on the job. Everyone on site can capture what they see without wandering around or wasting time.
Our app supports a variety of heavy civil road construction organizations, such as asphalt paving companies, engineering/inspection and consulting firms, utilities, subcontractors, concrete pavers, as well as departments of transportation and cities and municipalities. We help them find their location out on the road construction project so they can collaborate and document their work more quickly and more safely.
Join us in creating a better future where reliable project data (pictures, chats, e-tickets, core tests, and much more) is captured on-site and is visible within the organization’s OnStation’s data portal. We’re helping the people who build our roads do their jobs more easily, and it all begins with the idea, “You are here.”
