Grade Tech
GPS/Grade Checking Course
The GPS/ Grade checking Program is vital to all those who work on heavy highway and site development construction projects. The course was specifically designed to introduce the Understanding of Grade Stakes, the Principles and the Responsibilities of the Grade Checker.
The course also introduces the latest in innovative and advanced grade technology such as GPS, Lasers, Laser masts, Automatic Machine Control, Sonar Tracers, Lenker Rods,, Laser receivers, data Collectors and Earthwork Estimating Systems.
The history of Grade Checking from past to present is reviewed along with the basic principles of Grade Checking.
