Livermore, Calif. – October 26, 2009 – Topcon Positioning Systems (TPS) introduces two new products in its office software ‘Master’ series – Topcon SiteMaster and Topcon SiteMaster Lite.
Topcon SiteMaster is an integrated design, surface modeling and construction survey solution.
Mark Contino, vice president of product marketing, said, “SiteMaster provides unparalleled ease-of-use and seamless integration for Topcon field equipment and 3D-MC (machine control) systems. Whether it’s the initial boundary and topo survey, or a complicated multi-surface construction site, a simple road design or a multilane divided highway design, Topcon SiteMaster provides the user everything needed to complete the project and prepare the surface model for use with 3D-MC systems.
“From project start-to-finish, control of critical data flow from data collection, survey data analysis, engineering design, surface modeling, design stakeout, to as-built survey…it can all be accomplished easily and accurately with SiteMaster.” The new software can also accommodate plot design plans, as-built survey and revision plans.
