A GPS machine control model is the digital brain behind modern grading and excavation equipment. It tells dozers, graders, and excavators exactly where to cut, fill, and shape the earth—without relying on stakes or guesswork. At Earthwork Digital, we build precision GPS models that field crews can trust.

What Is a GPS Machine Control Model?

A GPS machine control model is a 3D digital terrain model (DTM) used by construction equipment equipped with GPS receivers. These models include surface elevations, breaklines, contours, and boundaries, allowing operators to perform sitework to exact specifications with minimal manual layout.

Why GPS Models Matter in Earthwork

• Accuracy: Reduces human error and rework by guiding machines with real-time data.
• Efficiency: Speeds up production and minimizes wasted passes.
• Cost Savings: Less staking, fewer grade checks, and faster timelines mean better margins.
• Consistency: Every operator on site follows the same model, ensuring uniform results.

What’s Included?

• Finished grade surface
• Subgrade layers (if required)
• Building pads and pavement areas
• Slope and drainage details
• Topsoil stripping and replacement zones
• Boundary lines and exclusion zones
