Horizontal construction projects never stand still. Segments shift. Boundaries change. Field conditions evolve throughout the day. Crews need accurate, up-to-date maps. Outdated prints and rough sketches lead to delays, rework, and safety risks. The solution is clear geospatial construction data, captured where the work is actually happening.
This infographic shows how teams use GIS in construction to map, inspect, and manage changing jobsite conditions in real time. With Fulcrum’s construction field app, field crews can draw lines and polygons to trace trenching, mark utility runs, define staging areas, and more. Their input is visual, geospatial, and tied directly to the work on the ground.
Crews don’t operate in dots or pins. They work across paths, alignments, and zones. A point shows where something happened. A shape shows what happened, how far it extends, and what it connects to. That level of context makes inspections more accurate and decisions more straightforward.
With a construction field app that supports real-time sketching and geospatial input, crews can mark up exactly what they see without waiting for updated plans or routing requests through GIS specialists. They stay focused on the work while keeping project data aligned and current.
Project managers, inspectors, and safety leads get immediate access to construction data and field updates. This shortens handoffs, improves QA, and helps keep the entire job on schedule.
Download the infographic to see how GIS in construction supports faster inspections, cleaner records, and tighter coordination. In horizontal construction, clarity in the field leads to fewer surprises, safer sites, and better results across the board.
