New project space 

Coordinate system

User invitation and user roles

Infrakit enables different roles for project participants. Some users may only have restricted access to see parts of relevant data of project and some others may have rights to both more data and more functions. Follow these instructions to define user roles that work for your project environment:

User roles and licenses

Recommended folder structure

Consistent and thoroughly considered folder structure is a key to a success in information management of your project. Good folder structure supports for all document types important for Infrakit system including grade control and surveying. Such structure also ensures that data is found fast and as-built data and documents can be efficiently linked to 3D models. Infrakit has recommends folder structure that can be uploaded as template including necessary subfolders.

Project & Design data hub integrations

Project design data, including drawings and contracts documents may be imported from external Project hub. Also images and reports during the project may be available during the project. When construction work is done needed data can be sent to Asset Information Management (AIM) systems with Project hub integrations. Please see dedicated instructions for our integrations:

Grade control and survey equipment integrations

Field measurement tools, such as survey kits and grade control enable drastic boost on site performance. Infrakit is fueling these technologies by design model files - in brand independent manner. These instruments require vendor specific configuration for site calibration, code lists and possible for design models. The back channel from field equipment include asset locations, production data and log points that are further used in Infrakit to aggregate overall site quality and progress metrics by as-built data. 

To enable design files to flow to surveying equipment and grade control systems following these vendor specific instructions:

Quality assurance is important process for model-based working methods. Follow this manual to activate accuracy tracing and grade benching for all field equipment:

How to start Infrakit Field app for Survey

Infrakit Field app can be used for high accuracy measurements when it is combined with RTK GNSS instrument. Field app offers various connectivity options, so virtually any NMEA capable device could be used - at end users own risk and work. However, Infrakit provides vendor and equipment specific setup manuals for some most commonly used instruments meeting Field app:

How to start Infrakit TRUCKS for mass haul

Mass haul tracking is a solution that eliminates the paper freight reports and turns mass hauling to a digital shape. The individual trucks, dumpers, lorries and barges can be traced with smart phone. The content of the haul is reported including the material type with  weight, volume quantity information. This decreases the time from haul to billing and also the work needed to generate information for billing. On larger sites the mass haul tracking gives transparent view to the progress of the haul process. Follow these instructions to enable Infrakit TRUCK:
