Construction Staking and GPS

Construction staking is the process of taking plans for roads, buildings, infrastructure systems, and other improvements to a site and then mapping and staking them out on the site where the construction will take place. Most often, the mapping and staking of the plans is done utilizing GPS and Global Navigation Satellite System to find important points such as the centerline of a road, the edge of a curb and gutter, or the corner of a building.
