Remote Earthworks Support for Japan

Japan has fascinated me since I was a child. It started with Japanese video games and television shows — the creativity, stories and attention to detail always caught my imagination.

As I grew into my career as an engineer, that interest expanded to Japan's architecture: traditional buildings alongside modern cities, and the engineering behind them. That makes extending Ring Geospatial's remote earthworks support to teams in Japan a particularly exciting step for me.

Practical support from your survey and design files

We offer remote earthworks take-offs, cut-and-fill analysis and 3D modelling using Civil 3D and AGTEK. The starting point is your supplied survey and design information, with a clear agreement on what your team needs to receive.

A model example from our UK work

Ely, Cambridgeshire: Ring Geospatial's model in its site context. Aerial imagery: Google Earth / Airbus.

This example is from Ely, Cambridgeshire, in the UK. It shows how a model can bring roads, plots and ponds into one view for discussion. For a project in Japan, the model and quantities would be built around the supplied project information and agreed requirements.

Agreeing a workable remote package

• Inputs: the current survey, design drawings or surfaces, specifications and revisions.

• Reference system: the project coordinates, vertical datum and units.

• Outputs: quantity schedules, review drawings and required model formats.

• Communication: language requirements, review points, time zone and deadline.

We confirm the scope and handover arrangements before starting. A package can cover a complete take-off or a defined modelling task, with your team keeping the client relationship when we work as a subcontractor.
