WorkFlow

Workflow Overview

1. Capture Machine Activity Across the Site

WorksOS uses GPS/GNSS data from your machine control systems to automatically record where machines are working and the elevations they achieve within the project area.

This creates a detailed picture of site activity without requiring additional survey work.

2. Create Accurate As-Built Surfaces

Using this machine data, WorksOS generates an as-built surface, representing the latest completed surface on your site.

WorksOS allows you to refine and filter the raw machine data to create a more accurate surface model. You can filter information by:

• Date or time period
• Individual machines or fleets
• Design areas and alignments
• Specific work zones

This ability to transform raw machine data into usable surfaces is one of the key strengths of WorksOS.

3. Compare Site Progress Over Time

Once as-built surfaces have been created, you can compare current site conditions with surfaces captured on previous days or at earlier project stages.

This provides a clear view of how much work has been completed between two points in time.

4. Calculate Material Volumes

By measuring the difference between two as-built surfaces, WorksOS can calculate earthwork volumes automatically.

This allows project teams to accurately track:

• Cut and fill quantities
• Material moved
• Daily, weekly, or project-to-date production

5. Generate Cut and Fill Maps

WorksOS can compare your current surface against the project design to identify:

• Cut areas where the existing ground is above design level
• Fill areas where the existing ground is below design level

These visual maps help crews quickly identify areas requiring additional work.

6. Measure Work Completed Since the Initial Survey

You can compare the latest as-built surface with the original survey surface to determine how much earthmoving has been completed since the project began.

This provides valuable information for progress tracking, reporting, and project management.

7. Compare Against Design Surfaces

Design surfaces imported from Trimble Business Center (TBC) can be used to compare completed work against the final project design.

This helps teams understand how much material still needs to be excavated or placed to achieve design levels.

8. Track Remaining Work

By importing linework, alignments, and geofences from TBC, WorksOS can provide additional visibility into project completion status.

Comparing these design elements with current site conditions helps identify:

• Remaining earthworks

• Areas requiring further grading

• Progress towards final completion

9. Monitor Everything from One Dashboard

WorksOS brings your project information together in configurable dashboards that provide a real-time overview of site performance.

Dashboard widgets can display:

• Cut and fill volumes

• Earthworks progress

• Material movement

• Compaction information

• Work completed since the original survey

• Remaining work to reach final design

This gives project managers, supervisors, and office teams instant access to the information they need to make informed decisions and keep projects on track.
