About Glankler Data Services, LLP:

I started GDS because as a former Machine Control Data Prep Specialist, I saw many Data Prep models that were being used for Machine Control to be inadequate in the precision needed and in the readability of the linework that is associated with the 3D Data Prep model. These inadequacies cause users to think GPS Machine Control is only accurate vertically to 0.5'. If Data Prep models are built correctly, equipment maintained and field procedures followed, accuracies below 0.04' can easily be achieved.

Glankler Data Services, LLP provides quality, detailed DTM Data Prep models and is an outgrowth of my 20 years of experience in the construction field starting as a Rodman on a Survey Crew and now as a Professional Engineer.  My construction staking experience in the field and office from pounding stakes to creating stake-out points in Acad probably accounts for my nickname “AutoThad”! Visit June'08 POB magazine for an article about GDS. 

Moving from the Surveying side to the Engineering side as my experience grew, I used Cad programs to “design” and not “draft” my sites.  After 14 years in the Design field, I was hired by a Machine Control dealer to help with Data Prep modeling.  As such, I created and managed a division specifically for modeling, model building training, troubleshooting on GPS Machine Control equipment and helping field and office personnel with procedures and presentations to Construction Professionals.  I have lectured at area universities and set up GPS classes. I have personally created more than 400 models specifically for Machine Control.

Remember for the cost of a model you will get GDS's knowledge from construction surveying, CAD experience and Engineering experience. You will profit from our ability to provide precise, accurate 3D Data Prep models for Machine Control and construction staking equipment.

Glankler Data Services, LLP has no conflict of interest through attempted sales, just a workable, productive DTM surface model.
