The basics and how to get started
Infrakit is a collaborative cloud solution available on all PC and mobile devices that helps project owners,
design engineers and construction companies to realize road, track and heavy civil earthwork projects
using Building Information Models (BIM).
Infrakit - real-time infra project data visualization
Infrakit can be used during the whole construction process:
• Design engineers can store, visualize, manage and share digital design information (open data
format BIM models)
• Contractors are able to report and manage information through different apps (web, android) and
connect their machines and devices on site
• Project owners and project consultants can follow work site progress and quality online.
With the help of Infrakit, the project owner can follow the pre-design, the design processes and the
execution on work-site in real time. Model-based design process allows effective use of the latest
construction technologies such as machine control systems. The quality of designs can be monitored, and
the construction site becomes transparent when using Infrakit in the worksite. Quality and progress of the
site can be followed on-line.
Model-based quality control is a build-in feature of Infrakit. Quality control measurements are shown on
Infrakit User Manual – v1.06

the map display and automatically compared with related surface models. Tolerance violations are
marked with red color.
Infrakit and the design process
• Visualize your CAD and BIM designs without costly software or training.
• Create an open file format coordination model that can be directly used for estimation and
construction.
• Share your design files with customers, colleagues, construction companies on site.
• Make changes and corrections with site feedback and share updated model immediately.
• Transform your BIM model into work-site proven 3D work-file.
When BIM is being used, design engineers create surface models covering all build areas. Infrakit helps
the design engineer to see how the terrain models are seen at the work-site by surveyor and contractors.
Files uploaded to Infrakit are tested for typical errors (e.g. broken triangulation). When the models are
displayed on map or satellite picture view in their correct position, design engineer and project owner can
verify the accuracy of the coordinate system used. Map view ensures that the model files cover all
necessary areas and then the critical points, e.g. intersections, can be given a detailed look using cross
section tools and 3D coordination model view. Good designs result in efficient building process and
minimize re-work!

Infrakit - always connected and available
At the office or on site: 24/7 access
• Infrakit OFFICETM to manage all information on your PC screen
• Infrakit FIELDTM to carry the project information on site
• Infrakit LINKTM to connect directly with surveying equipment and machine control systems
Infrakit OFFICETM is the detailed interface, allowing all functions from design and models, to review of the
site information (as-built data, uploaded pictures, documents), and management of all equipment and
machines connected. Infrakit OFFICETM does not require any physical installation of a software, it simply
opens on the web-browser of your PC or laptop.
Infrakit FIELDTM is available on Android for smartphones and tablets. When design engineers visit the site,
they can take Infrakit FIELDTM with them. It will show the designs with user position and chainage, using
the device's build-in GPS position. It allows opening of any background map or terrain model, drawing
cross sections and showing measured points, even taking pictures and notes tied to their location with
automatic uploading into Infrakit server if changes or other unexpected situations occur during a project.
If machine control systems are used, Infrakit LINKTM connects directly surveying equipment and even a
multi-brand machine fleet. It can update the 3D work-files and download usage history data as well as
alignments and follow the calibration data of each connected system. With machine control professionally
used, project owners can accept reduced quality control surveying, replaced with points measured by the
machine guidance systems (as-built data). Infrakit also shows machine utilization, which is directly
correlated with worksite efficiency.
Infrakit makes your project transparent: when the design data is uploaded to Infrakit in open file formats,
all as-built data can be added, and measurements can be automatically compared with design data. Site
progress and quality can be followed online.
Infrakit User Manual – v1.06

Transparent worksite means that the site progress, its quality, quantities and timetables can be followed in
real time.
Infrakit connecting devices and machines at work-site
Using Infrakit at the work-site allows:
• Sharing design data to all site personnel without costly and complicated software tools.
• Storing pictures, notes, reports and audits of the project.
• Managing and visualizing quality control measurements and reducing reporting cost and delay.
• Showing background maps and designs on mobile and tablet devices together with user chainage
position.
• Maintaining the machine control system work-files and calibration.
• Reporting machine utilization, work history and efficiency.
• Reporting possible design faults and re-work needs online, and sharing updated designs in
minimum time and cost
• Creating as-built model of the site automatically as the work progress
Optimization of those tasks is enhanced when the contractor uses the latest information technology and
machine control systems. That is when Infrakit via Infrakit LINKTM offers its maximum added value. Since
Infrakit handles all data in open file formats, design data is available for all measurement systems and
measured points can be loaded into Infrakit easily. Fast data handling reduces the delay in quality and
progress reporting, replaces a lot of manual handling and report preparation, and gives real-time view to
the site. Infrakit LINKTM allows connection with most popular surveying equipment and machine control
systems brands like:
• Leica
• MOBA (Novatron)
• Topcon
• Trimble
• Many others
Because Infrakit is hardware independent, it can be fully integrated regardless of machine control system
suppliers used in the project, and therefore even enables multi-brand fleet management, giving
contractors the flexibility to source brands and mix them while still guarantying continuous data collection.

From the list of vehicles, you have access to specific information about each vehicle, like the visualization
of his trips over the last 12h (12h button), graphic visualization of the vehicle data (graph icon), and
detailed list trips with their respective data (3 bars icon next to graph icon).
2. Geofence
Geofence allows you to create specific areas on the map corresponding to loading and unloading areas.
This can be used to define for example areas for different materials or tasks. Geofence is also the way to
"automatize" the load/unload action from the Truck App.
How to create a load/unload geofence area:
• Click "Add" blue button
• Define the area name (example: specific materials, geographic area name, name of task to do)
• Define the materials to be picked/unloaded in this area.
• Select the type of area (load/unload/both load and unload)
• Directly on the map, draw the area, by clicking the contour of the area. Each left click will drop a
contour point.
• You also have the possibility to assign the new created area to a specific vehicle if desired.
• Save your area by validating on the "add" blue button
• Once created, an area can be edited or deleted at any time of the project.

therefore you only see the location of the project and the background maps (in order to change the
background map, select on the Maps menu the map you want to use).
You also have the possibility in upper right corner to:
• Allow cross-section, and use the tool to create one
• Change the height offset to get the selected model closer to the map as the map is always
visualization on 0m see level but your model might be at a different height according to the height
system and exact altitude.
To visualize a model select Models on the menu:
• To open the folder structure
• To locate and select the model(s) you want to visualize

Infrakit ADMIN
Infrakit ADMIN allows administrator level users to manage projects and users on Infrakit.
Creating a project
New projects can be created by the Admin in Admin-page.
To create a new project:
• Click on “New Project” in the “Project Tab” which will open a “New Project” interface.
• Define a new name for the project.
• Infrakit shows all designs and as-builts in site coordinate system. Therefore, a coordinate system
must be defined to each project. If you have trouble finding your local coordinate system, please
contact [email protected].
• Finally save the project before being able to invite users or integrate machine guidance services.
Infrakit User Manual – v1.06
34
After the new project is named and created, further project information is given in Infrakit-pages by design
engineer or at the construction site by Chief Surveyor.
If the project is a road or rail construction site and you have a main alignment, it is recommended to define
that in the Project-page. This helps communicating user locations at site. Infrakit Tablet and Mobile
calculate user position as pole/chainage position and side distance from the selected or main alignment,
using the build-in GPS position of the device in use.
Defining a background map is also recommended. In a good background map, there is enough
information for everyone in the project to understand or perceive the construction site shape and
boundaries, and how and where elements like roads, borderlines etc. are located relative to each other.

Integrating Leica ConX and VisualMachine Machine Control Systems
Leica Geosystems machine control systems (iCON 3D and VisualMachine) can be integrated to Infrakit
through Leica ConX service.
Infrakit and ConX settings
You should have an existing Infrakit project, which can be empty or already contain design files and other
machinery.
Fresh ConX project created with the work machines to be connected attached to it.
Connect Infrakit project to ConX project in Infrakit Admin (Edit project).
NOTE: If you dont see the Connect link in the Edit Project page, the integration has not yet been
enabled for your organization. Contact Infrakit support.
iCON 3D and VisualMachine machines should appear in Infrakit project as vehicles.
After connecting the projects, you will manage design files in Infrakit. Supported design file formats are
DXF and LandXML.
You can then set model rights to these machines in Infrakit for them to sync to the machine. After sync is
done the files should appear in your ConX project with assignments to the machines selected in Infrakit.
Files should then appear in the TO_MACHINE folders of the machines in ConX. Then they have to be
synced to the machine(s) from there. The driver will typically have to initiate file sync on the work machine.
Infrakit User Manual – v1.06

Infrakit User Manual – v1.06
63
8. When R10 is powered on, InfrakitApp may be connected by first pairing the devices with bluetooth and
then choosing location souce as: 'Bluetooth' from InfrakitApp menu. Since no other devices are paired
with R10, InfrakitApp connects to Bluetooth port 1 and location information is transferred to the device.
NOTE: If after making the above settings, another bluetooth device, for example Trimble's own field
computer is connected with R10 using Bluetooth, the above configured bluetooth settings may get
automatically changed and R10 may possibly stop sending the NMEA messages to bluetooth port 1, for
InfrakitApp to read. For this reason, it is recommended not to connect other bluetooth devices than the
android device containing the infrakitApp after the above settings have been done. If other devices are
connected in between, the bluetooth settings should be re-checked in order to ensure everything works
when reading location information using Infrakit App.

Connecting Leica GS14 receiver to Infrakit FIELD™ Android App
Step-by-step guide for connecting.
1. Check if GS14 supports NMEA out -Connect to GS14 with PC and Leica software or Leica field
computer -Select User → Info/Leica Viva –> GS sensor –> NMEA out:yes
if NMEA out:no. This means that you need to update the receiver to support NMEA out. Contact Leica for
this.
2. Set up GS14 to send NMEA messages via Bluetooth with pc or field computer connected select: -
Device –> Connections –> Other connections –> GS connection –> NMEA 1 Set:
• NMEA messages from GS antenna
• Connect using: GS BT
• Device: RS232
• Messages:GGA,GSA,VTG
3. Pair GS14 with Android device -Android device bluetooth settings -Pair using pin (usually 0000 or
1234). Make sure that GS14 is the only paired device with this Android device. Remove other Bluetooth
devices from the paired list so that GS14 is the only device
4. Open Infrakit Android app Menu –> Select location source –> Bluetooth. After this you can see from
Infrakit apps' surveying tab if there is incoming location from GS14 and what is the pos.type, satellites etc.’
Extra info: GS14 may need to be configured to get corrected location from RTK service. Infrakit app just
gets the location via bluetooth. It depends on the GS14 settings if the location is corrected via service.
Make sure you set the correct stick height in Infrakit app or in Leica software. For example, if you set stick
height with Leica field computer to be 2.0m it needs to be 0 in Infrakit app or vice versa. Best way is to set
stick height 0 in Leica software and control the stick height in Infrakit app (if receiver is used frequently
with Infrakit app).
