3D Machine
Control
3D machine control technology eliminates the need for traditional grade stakes by guiding heavy equipment directly from a digital design surface. Meyer Land Surveying creates, validates, and supports machine control surfaces for grading, paving, and earthwork operations — reducing rework and accelerating project schedules.
What is 3D Machine Control?
3D machine control technology eliminates the need for traditional grade stakes by guiding heavy equipment directly from a digital design surface. Meyer Land Surveying creates, validates, and supports machine control surfaces for grading, paving, and earthwork operations — reducing rework and accelerating project schedules.
Meyer Land Surveying has delivered 3d machine control services across Southern California since 2015, combining licensed expertise with state-of-the-art technology to produce precise, compliant, and timely results for every client.
How We Deliver 3D Machine Control
Design Surface Creation
We import or build the design surface from the project's civil drawings, creating a clean, verified 3D model for machine guidance.
Control Integration
The design surface is tied to the project's GPS control network, ensuring correct georeferencing.
Calibration & Setup
We calibrate the machine control system on site, verifying that the equipment is reading the correct design surface.
Ongoing Support
Our surveyors remain available throughout the operation to update surfaces as design changes occur.
As-Built Verification
Upon completion, we perform as-built surface checks to confirm finished grades are within specified tolerances.
Representative Projects
Pave Tech Military Projects
Developed 3D machine control surfaces and provided around-the-clock support for three military paving and grading projects.
Fallon Naval Air Station — Runway
Implemented the SCS-900 3D machine control system for milling and paving of the runway and taxiway.
Kramer Junction Highway
Implemented 3D machine control paving system for a 12-mile highway stretch.
