Getting lost is margin loss.
OnStation gives every person on your crew an instant location — and a record of everything they did there.
Road construction teams use OnStation to know exactly where they are on a project, coordinate work in real time, and build documentation that holds up — without paper plans, phone calls, or guesswork.
The problem
Location uncertainty costs you more than you think.
On road construction projects, location is at the center of every decision, every dispute, and every dollar. When your team can't answer "where are you?" instantly — that uncertainty compounds across every crew, every day, every job.
Crews hunting for stations
Field crews stop productive work to walk, wheel, or call the PM just to figure out where they are. That time is billed to your job.
Documentation you can't defend
When the DOT challenges a location or test result, paper records don't hold up. Disputes become rework. Rework becomes lost margin.
Coordination running through texts
Flags, photos, and notes scatter across group texts, emails, and spreadsheets. No location context. No clear record at closeout.
How it works
Location first. Documentation automatic. Record permanent.
OnStation works on any phone or tablet — no special hardware, no survey crew. Your project loads in, and your crew is on station in minutes.
Step 1
Know exactly where you are
Open OnStation on any phone. The Station Finder uses GPS to show your exact location on the project alignment — station, offset, and design layer — instantly. No stakes required.
Step 2
Document what you see, where you see it
Drop a flag, take a photo, leave a note — all automatically tied to a station and timestamp. Every observation is location-anchored and shareable with your whole team in real time.
Step 3
Build a record that holds up
Everything your crew documents feeds the Data Portal — searchable, exportable, and defensible. From daily reports to DOT audits, your record is already built before you need it.
Step 4
Connect your whole project
Contractors, inspectors, and DOT staff work from the same platform. No duplicate data, no lost context. Integrates with HCSS, Trimble, TransTech, and more.
Real results
What teams gain when they stop guessing.
These aren't estimates. They're outcomes from contractors and inspection firms who measured what OnStation actually changed on their jobs.
Mathy Construction
$18,000
Saved per density technician per year. Techs were working 16-hour days finding test locations manually. OnStation cut over 2 hours per tech per day.
RS&H — I-4 Corridor
Seconds.
Time to resolve a guardrail location dispute that would have taken hours with paper records. The senior CEI inspector pulled the station-anchored photo on the spot.
Hoffman Construction
3 strikes avoided.
Utility strikes avoided on a single project using OnStation's design overlays. "It takes about a minute to pull up the utilities tab and see what is around me."
CSD Environmental — IL
100+ flags.
Dropped with photos across a project involving 3 organizations and a DOT. Replaced paper forms, phone calls, and email chains with one shared platform.
Built for your role
Whether you're building it or inspecting it.
OnStation is purpose-built for every member of the project team. Select your role to see how it works for you.
For prime contractors
Track it. Prove it. Get paid faster.
Your field crews stop what they're doing every time they need to figure out where they are. That time adds up. OnStation eliminates location hunting, ties every photo and note to a specific station, and gives you the documentation to back up every pay app and change order — without extra paperwork.
Live digital stationing
Crews know exactly where they are on the alignment. No more walking the project to find station markers — locate, document, and move on.
Change order proof, on the spot
Station-based photos, notes, and flags clearly show scope changes and rework needs — speeding up approvals and eliminating payment disputes.
Faster pay applications
Digital documentation tied to alignment means verified quantities and daily reports — submitted faster with less back-and-forth.
$18,000
Saved per density technician per year at Mathy Construction — cutting 16-hour days down to standard shifts by eliminating manual location work.
"With OnStation, we eliminated re-staking. What used to cost us thousands now takes seconds — and we never lose our location."
Prime Contractor — OnStation Customer
For CEI teams
Document faster. Report cleaner. Defend your record.
Your inspectors are experts — they shouldn't spend their day on location tasks, manual data entry, and paper forms. OnStation gives them instant location, auto-captures test data to the right station, and builds a DOT-ready record automatically as they work.
DOT-ready reports, automatically
Export photos, forms, and inspection logs tied to exact stations — fully compliant for DOT audits and project closeouts. No reformatting required.
Auto-captured test data
Digital forms pull station and time automatically. Test results upload directly from integrated gauges — no double entry, no Excel sheets, no Form 448 delays.
Dispute resolution in seconds
When the DOT challenges a location or test result, pull up the station-anchored photo and timestamp on the spot. No paper search. No delay.
36 min → 6 min
Hazard documentation time per incident. RS&H resolved a guardrail location dispute in seconds with station-anchored photo proof on the I-4 corridor.
"Before OnStation, our density techs worked late just to enter compaction tests. Now they log results right in the field — saving us two hours a day per person."
Derek Frederixson — Mathy Construction
For DOT agencies
Real-time oversight. Stronger records. Safer jobsites.
OnStation gives DOT teams a shared platform where contractors, inspectors, and agency staff all work from the same live data. Standardize documentation across projects, reduce rework disputes, and improve compliance from the field to final closeout.
Standardized digital stationing
Every project team works from the same live alignment. No paper station logs, no manual entry errors, no conflicting records between contractor and inspector.
Full visibility, fewer disputes
Track work in progress, access photo proof tied to specific stations, and maintain defensible records that reduce change order disputes.
