CIVIL CONTRACTORIN BOISE, ID

Granite Excavation, Inc. prides itself in utilizing the latest in construction technology to estimate, value-engineer, track, and expedite projects through the implementation of our Topcon grade control systems.
The process typically begins when we take the AutoCAD files and build GPS models that are configured with our TopCon Equipment Control Systems in the field. Field crews can use a “rover” GPS unit and personally stake everything they need to complete the project.
Although an initial survey is still required by the owner, this process minimizes the need for additional surveying. What’s more, it provides better control for the building contractor to establish benchmarks and consistent control data which is stored in the GPS model.

The GPS data is uploaded into the GPS box located on the grading equipment (motor grader, dozer) allowing for a correct, accurate, and automatic cut to sub-finish grade on the first pass. This equipment expedites the project and minimizes rework, preventing cost overruns.
The ability to visualize grade, terrain, and other potential construction issues before actually breaking ground allows our team and our clients to grasp the scope of the project and streamline the entire process.
We believe that these systems allow us to bring a unique skill set to the table when bidding on projects as either a general contractor or a subcontractor.
