The course also introduces the latest in innovative and advanced grade technology such as Lasers, Laser masts, Automatic Machine Control, Sonar Tracers, Lenker Rods, Smart Sticks, Laser receivers, Electronic Distance Meters, data Collectors and Earthwork Estimating Systems. The history of Surveying from past to present is reviewed along with the basic principles of field to finish surveying. A laser operator certification card is issued as well as a Certificate of Completion. |
The 48-hour Grade checking Program is vital to all those who work
on heavy highway and site development construction projects. The
course was specifically designed to introduce the Understanding
of Grade Stakes, the Principles of Math Techniques and the Responsibilities
of the Grade Checker. |
