FAQ

Laser grading uses laser technology to precisely level or grade land to a specific elevation, ensuring accuracy for drainage, base thickness, or saving time and money in preparation processes​ You

It involves a laser transmitter set up on a tripod that emits a 360-degree rotating beam. This laser beam establishes a reference elevation. Receivers attached to grading equipment then adjust the blade height to match this reference, ensuring a smooth and consistent surface​.

Benefits include minimized standing water, reduced delays due to rain, fewer injuries from uneven playing surfaces, and ensuring proper slope for effective water drainage​.

Laser grading achieves remarkable accuracy, capable of grading to within 1/16th of an inch over large areas. This precision is crucial for sports fields, parking lots, and other surfaces requiring exact tolerances for drainage or pitch​.

The process typically employs motor graders equipped with a 2D Laser System or a 3D system like the Leica Robotic Total Station, ensuring precise control and adjustment of the grading blade based on laser signals​.

It's generally recommended to laser grade athletic fields annually to maintain proper slope and prevent issues related to water movement and material migration​.

Yes, by providing precise grading, it reduces the need for extra materials to correct slopes and levels, effectively cutting down on waste and excess costs. Projects can be completed more quickly, reducing labor costs​.

Laser grading is used for athletic fields, ice rinks, equestrian arenas, super-flat concrete floors, precision asphalt paving, and any project requiring high precision in surface leveling​.

Yes, because the equipment is lightweight and versatile, laser grading can be performed on almost any terrain without disrupting the surrounding areas​.

With laser grading, large areas can be precisely graded in significantly less time compared to traditional methods. For example, an area of up to 100,000 square feet can be brought to a finish grade of within a quarter inch in just a single day​.
