Earthworks keep moving, but survey results don’t always keep pace. Sodex captures terrain while your machines work, so your team can check grades, calculate cut and fill, and track site preparation progress in SDX-Cloud.
Every cut, fill, and grading pass changes your site. Use regularly captured 3D data in SDX-Cloud to compare terrain against design, calculate remaining earthwork quantities, and track progress across work areas. Give your team current measurements to plan the next steps and coordinate handovers.
Calculate the excavation and fill still needed to reach your design. Use current quantities to plan machine time, hauling, and the next stage of work.
Compare captured terrain against design to spot high areas and over-excavation. Help crews correct the work early instead of discovering differences during the final survey.
Compare surfaces over time to measure earthwork progress across defined areas. Use measured quantities rather than estimates to review daily output and adjust your plans.
Capture terrain while equipped machines carry out excavation and grading. Keep your team informed day-by-day with accurate numbers without the need for manually surveying the site each time.
Use surfaces captured by the machine to document what has been moved and when it has been moved. Use photo documentation from SDX-Compact or other sources to enrich the document to defend claims and support invoicing.
Share current site views, quantities, and design comparisons in SDX-Cloud. Give everyone a clear picture of what is complete and what still needs attention before the next phase.
Define your coordinate system, connect your capture systems, and upload design surfaces and an initial ground survey if available. Mark the work areas where you want to track excavation, filling, and grading progress automatically.
Capture changing terrain as excavation, filling, and grading progress. Compare the current surface against design in SDX-Cloud to identify high areas, remaining excavation, and locations that need more fill. Give site teams current measurements to plan the next pass and prepare work areas for the next phase.
Compare dated surfaces within defined work areas to measure how much material has moved. Track completed quantities throughout the project and turn the results into reports for progress reviews, subcontractor agreements, and billing.
Compare current terrain against design to see how much cut and fill remains. Identify potential material shortages or surplus early, giving your team time to arrange deliveries, reuse suitable material on site, or schedule removal before last-minute hauling adds cost and delays.
“It’s amazing because by the time we shut the machine down and we get back to the office the data is already there. You open up your computer and it’s all there.”

“Day to day, week to week, we can see where our cut and fill maps are and how much cut and fill we have left to do on the job.”

“In the past, we had to rely on the weather and go through complex data evaluation – today, a few minutes of driving is enough to get current terrain data.”

Local partners in the United States, Europe, and Australia demo SDX-Systems on your site and support you before, during and after the purchase.
Sodex Innovations helps contractors compare the surveyed terrain with the target design in SDX-Cloud to calculate remaining cut-and-fill volumes. This gives site teams a clearer basis for planning the next stage of excavation or filling and assessing the workload ahead.
