Design-to-Field Reconciliation
Reconcile planned routes against field survey data and flag conflicts before crews build the wrong thing.
What It Does
The agent compares the planned route against field survey data, flags conflicts with utilities, terrain, and access, and cites the source for each. An engineer reviews before the design is revised.Without it: Designs are drawn on digital maps, but field teams find obstacles the design never showed. The mismatch surfaces during construction, when it is most expensive to fix.
- Separates conflicts that move the route from ones a field note resolves
- Reads utility locate tickets by date, and marks any older than the design
- Survey points outside GPS tolerance are listed unusable, not scored as conflicts
- Writes the comparison to a separate review layer, never over the issued design
Illustrative example
Crew 6 returns survey for segment F-14, 1.2 km of planned aerial on the Ridgeway build. The agent lays it against the CAD centerline on a review layer and flags three conflicts: a gas main at station 24+50 sitting two metres off where the design shows it, an access grade the boring rig cannot cross, and a locate ticket dated before the reroute. The design engineer decides which of the three force a redraw.
