Enables surface engineering teams to gather information about their cut / fill workflows and integrate it with other business systems such as their Geographic Information System and / or Enterprise Asset Management System.

Capture your locate information accurately, the first time

Surface Mapper

Surface Mapper

In 2017, Tervita (now Secure Energy) implemented the first version of TerraFlow's Surface Mapper (then called the Tervita Landfill Manager) to support their landfill filling requirements.

The system is designed to import a design suface file which defines the target elevations and angles for a landfill.  As the user moves across the area, be it walking or mounted to a bull dozer or other earth moving equipment Surface Mapper shows a continuous output of how much fill can be placed in the space, or how much needs to be removed to remain in design compliance.

Surface Mapper has subsequently being extended to support other applications where surface grading is critical such as irrigation systems and road work operations.
