GeoShack University Training Schedule

For years, contractors have been responsible for taking the designs of architects and engineers and making them a reality on a job site. Creating a finished product from paper plans has incorporated a wide variety of job site methods and tools – from measuring tapes, levels, lasers, advanced surveying total stations, and even GPS receivers. No matter what tools have been used, the construction layout is always a critical point for any project.
