Carlson Survey together with Carlson’s popular data collection software options, SurvCE, SurvPC, and Field, provide powerful, effective, and accurate “Field-to-Finish”:

Symbols, points and linework are drawn automatically in Carlson Survey

Drawings in SurvCE, SurvPC, and Field process perfectly and easily in Carlson Survey"

Carlson Field

Here's what Carlson says about Field:


"Full Data Collection Inside CAD 


Carlson Field enables real-time surveying in CAD on ruggedized PC/laptop computers. Users can not only collect data in the field, they can accomplish any basic COGO operation and also any high-level CAD operation. It is also possible to stakeout building corners, lot corners or any CAD feature by “snapping” to the CAD entity—without creating point numbers.

  • Runs RTK GPS and conventional/robotic total stations

  • Collects and stores points directly in the AutoCAD .dwg format

  • Ability to place text on your drawing and contour in the field to verify that you have taken enough points

  • Cut/Fill automatically displayed for staked points with elevation or along any TIN or Grid terrain model

  • Plots linework


Field-to-finish is completed in the field! Field is also designed for GIS work. It allows the collection of data associated with valves, manholes, power poles and other standard GIS elements. It works with affordable, sub-meter accuracy GPS systems from various manufacturers."

CONSTRUCTION & CIVIL SOFTWARE

Civil Software

Carlson Civil

Here's what Carlson says about Civil:


"Carlson Civil provides the most robust automation and ease-of-use of any civil design solution available today, and it does dynamic updating without a single custom object. What might take days with other civil software takes just hours, or even minutes, with the powerful, intuitive Carlson Civil:


  • Road NETwork. Build all roads, intersections and cul-de-sacs in 2D and 3D with a single click of the “PROCESS” button.

  • Site NETwork. Elevate your estimating accuracy with this intuitive layer-based surface generator for easy cut/fill and material quantities calculations.

  • Lot NETwork. Quickly define an entire subdivision of lots based on an outer boundary, interior ROWs or Centerlines, and a simple set of user-defined “rules,” then pick “PROCESS” and the lots appear, defined and labeled. 


With Carlson’s fully dynamic design environment, its trademark “networking,” changes made to one aspect of design are reflected in all other related aspects. Plus, Carlson Civil users get true 2D, easy-to-use 3D, intersection design, multi-baseline road networks, lot layout, storm and utility analysis and design, plus much, much more."

Carlson GeoTech

Here's what Carlson says about GeoTech:


"Designed for geotechnicians, civil engineers, and construction professionals, Carlson GeoTech provides the ability to import borehole data for analyzing subsurface conditions and materials. It models all core samples, producing a detailed, easy-to-read report for drill logs, cross sections, and plan view. This information is fully integrated with Carlson Civil, for determining site stability and suitability, and also Carlson Construction, for accurate strata takeoff estimation."

Carlson Construction

Here's what Carlson says about Construction:


"For Estimating & 3D Modeling


Carlson Construction is an integrated cut/fill takeoff and 3D surface modeling software solution designed for site and road construction from CAD files. It offers powerful section and 3D viewing tools for elevating 2D designs to 3D model files. 


Core Abilities:

  • Cut/Fill Estimating

  • Output 3D Machine Control Files (Carlson Grade, Trimble, CAT-Accugrade, Leica, and Topcon)

  • Output Construction Staking files for site, roadway, and building columns and offsets

  • As-Built Mapping


Carlson Construction’s Material Quantities Reports give estimators the volume, area, length and/or count for items such as asphalt, gravel, curb, or any “subgrade” or “select fill” that’s defined. For construction data prep, Carlson Construction creates surfaces from points and contours and can easily move lines from the “wrong” elevation and slope to the correct elevation and slope."
