Surveyors On Site (SOS)
Surveyors On Site (SOS) leverages STAR*NET software to establish precise control networks for large infrastructure projects, such as the Gordie Howe International Bridge. Christopher Oyler, a Director at SOS, praises STAR*NET for its efficiency in handling complex adjustments.
Gordie Howe Bridge
Surveyors On Site (SOS) was founded in 2011 as a survey firm focused on the use of the most advanced location technology available in service of advanced infrastructure development. That turned out to be an excellent business model, and SOS quickly grew to become a multinational firm headquartered in Windsor, Ontario, with two additional Ontario offices and an office in Livonia, Mich. They’re also known for extremely snazzy, blaze-orange survey vehicles.
Since 2015, the SOS commitment to advanced technology has included regular use of STAR*NET to establish and maintain control networks for large construction projects, particularly in developing the Gordie Howe International Bridge, described as a “once-in-a- generation undertaking” and one of North America’s largest infrastructure projects. The Herb Gray Parkway was a major undertaking, requiring the construction of six bridges, 12 tunnels, and 3 million cubic meters of cut and fill, as well as utility realignment and roadway development.
“Any job where we’re working with a lot of points, or going back a lot, we definitely process with STAR*NET and sometimes that’s caught some big potential errors”
