    OnStation and Trimble provide live digital stationing on heavy construction projects

    OnStation, a live digital stationing platform for road construction documentation and inspection, is collaborating with Trimble to integrate Trimble GNSS receivers with the OnStation App. Together, the technologies provide project personnel with instant, station-based context and precise location.

    Previously, the ability to verify exact locations of heavy highway project assets with GNSS receivers was limited to certain field personnel. Now, construction, engineering and inspection (CEI) firms can document with confidence and accuracy, and departments of transportation can oversee projects with full visibility, without delays or guesswork.

    “Location alone isn’t enough in heavy civil construction. Crews need to understand the context of what’s happening at that exact point on a project,” said Patrick Russo, CEO of OnStation. “By combining Trimble’s trusted GNSS accuracy with the capabilities of OnStation’s live digital stationing, we’re giving field personnel both precision and insight, allowing for quicker decisions, fewer errors and streamlined workflows.”

    When OnStation is paired with the Trimble Mobile Manager application, the integration enhances trust in location data for paving, inspections and utilities, keeping project crews in sync. Having everyone aligned, means less risk of building in the wrong spot or misinterpreting plans.

    Designed with the field environment in mind, the joining of the two offerings requires no extra hardware or complicated setup. Any Trimble R series or Catalyst GNSS receiver can be used with the OnStation App when connected through Trimble Mobile Manager. Regardless of which Trimble GNSS receiver is being used, teams can access live digital stationing while in the field by opening the OnStation App and connecting through Trimble Mobile Manager.

    Trimble and OnStation representatives will discuss the integration at a virtual event, OnStation Nation, on Nov. 18. Register at https://hubs.li/Q03Qf9q-0.

    OnStation is a collaborative digital stationing platform that offers location-based project records from bid to close. Specifically designed for the heavy highway industry, OnStation’s mobile app centralizes communication, boosts productivity, enhances worker safety, and improves project quality.

    OnStation is available on both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store and is supported on all desktop systems.

    Construction company Render Networks integrates Trimble GNSS for real-time location data

    Render Networks, a specialist in digital network construction management, is integrating with Trimble Mobile Manager, bringing Trimble’s high-precision GNSS capabilities to broadband and utility network deployments.

    The integration enables centimeter-level accuracy at the point of construction, minimizing delays and ensuring that as-built records are complete and verifiable from day one.

    The integration enables Render users to consume high-precision positions from Trimble receivers, including the Trimble DA2 with Trimble Catalyst and the Trimble R2, directly within Render Networks’ mobile app. This means Render Networks’ customers can deliver fast, accurate and verifiable as-builts as part of their normal workflows, eliminating the need for site revisits, reducing rework, and streamlining project acceptance.

    “Our customers are building critical infrastructure at massive scale, and high-accuracy data is non-negotiable,” said Rob Laudati, chief product and partner officer, at Render Networks. “With this new integration, we’re giving crews the ability to capture as-builts with location accuracy in real time, accelerating closeout and ensuring data quality that supports compliance, operations, and asset management for decades to come.”

    Render Networks will showcase the new Trimble integration at the SCTE TechExpo, Booth #882, Sept. 29 – Oct. 1 in Washington, D.C.
