Provide a professional, paperless job record to project owners instead of a stack of papers. Vermeer Projects makes it simple for operations managers to collect, organize and share important job documentation through the cloud. Depending on your Projects level, you could have the ability to visually capture the jobsite over a Google Maps image, including intended bore path white line, pothole locations, utility locate positions, marked utilities and bore path as-built. Achieve even better accuracy by pairing your GPS-enabled smart device with an external GPS antenna (sold separately). In addition, users can create rod-by-rod plans and add actual DCI® log-while-drilling (LWD™) data. With settings for product pipe tolerance and drill rod bend radius, users can properly plan their utility installation project within industry standards and communicate it easily to everyone involved with the job. A Vermeer Projects subscription is required. Learn more about Vermeer productivity tools: https://www.vermeer.com/productivity_tools.
