Total Stations

Manhard Consulting has seven Total Stations equipped with complete data collection capabilities, allowing information gathered in the field to be integrated with surveying and CADD software. Seamless electronic communication between our field and office staff provides the greatest degree of accuracy in the shortest time.


Global Positioning Systems (GPS)

Land surveying is incredibly fast and accurate with the GPS capabilities at Manhard Consulting.

Our GPS tools allow us to cost-effectively provide large-scale geodetic control networks that were cost-prohibitive or not even possible just a few years ago. For example, given a known state plane coordinate point in Lake County, our GPS-based land surveying team can generate a fixed and accurate position in McHenry County in about one-tenth the time required compared to non-GPS methods. Bottom line: accuracy is increased, and construction layout and land surveying time and cost are reduced.


Networked CADD Workstations

Every member of our technical staff is equipped with a CADD station that is networked to our Total Stations and GPS. Every member of your team has instant access to current information and updated plans, increasing the speed and efficiency of the entire team. Plus, your requests and change-orders are seen by the entire team, so they're handled faster.
