site controller software (SCS)

Site controller software (SCS) is software that runs on a site controller, which is typically a hand held device. Contractors can use SCS to complete a full range of construction tasks, including:

• Performing initial job site measurement and verification of original ground levels
• Measuring site features
• Checking finished grade and laid material thickness
• Collecting topographic site data and computing material stockpile volumes
• Staking out points, lines, alignments, planes, surfaces, complex roadways, side slopes, and catch points
• Performing as-built site measurements

SCS helps contractors efficiently control and quantify site operations so they do not need to rely on a contract surveyor for their site measurement and stakeout requirements.
