Earthworks
Excavation, grading, fill, slopes, ground conditions and completed formation.
Civil engineering field records.
Capture site conditions, construction stages and location-specific observations while you are in the field.
FIELD PHOTOPROJECT / SITE RECORD
A field photo needs a location.
Civil engineering work is often spread across long alignments, remote sites and multiple construction stages. A photo without coordinates, direction, project name or field note can be difficult to use later for approvals, progress records, claims or final documentation.
Document the engineering work.
Keep a visual record of the parts of the project that depend on location and construction stage.
Drainage and utilities
Pipes, chambers, trenches, crossings and service locations.
Roads and pavements
Subgrade, base, asphalt, kerbs, markings and completed sections.
Structures
Retaining works, culverts, concrete elements and structural details.
Existing conditions
Site condition before construction and changes as work progresses.
Field observations
Measurements, location-specific notes and construction-stage records.
Keep location with the record.
Capture the technical context while you are standing at the location, rather than rebuilding it later from memory.
01
Record on location
Capture the condition while you are at the chainage, structure or work area.
02
Add coordinates and direction
Keep GPS coordinates, address, date, time, direction or azimuth with the photo as required.
03
Identify the project
Use project names, notes and structured file names to keep field records easier to sort.
04
Use the record downstream
Use documented photos in PDF, CSV or KMZ workflows where supported.
Build the field record.
The record develops with the project, from existing conditions through construction and final documentation.
Set the project
Choose the project name and the information needed on each photo.
Capture in the field
Record construction stages, measurements and field observations at the location.
Verify context
Check coordinates, direction and notes before the record leaves the field.
Project record
Use selected photos in approvals, reports, claims or final documentation as required.
Use one field method.
Keep records consistent across engineers, site supervisors, contractors and project managers working on the same project.

*2025 Conota user survey.
Civil engineering questions.
Product details can vary between Android and iOS. See the Product page for current feature details.
Can Conota record GPS coordinates on civil engineering photos?
Yes. Conota can add GPS coordinates to the photo and file information. Phone GPS is useful for field context, but it is not a substitute for survey-grade positioning.
Can I show direction or azimuth?
Yes. Direction and azimuth can be included where supported, which can help when documenting linear works, structures and site conditions.
Does Conota work on remote sites without cell service?
GPS coordinates can work without mobile reception when the phone has satellite signal. Street addresses and online services require internet access.
Can I use different coordinate systems?
Conota supports coordinate-system options, with more advanced systems available in Pro. Availability can vary by platform.
Can I export civil field records?
Export options include PDF, CSV and KMZ where supported. The exact options depend on platform and plan.
Is Conota survey equipment?
No. Conota records the location data available from the phone. It is intended for field documentation, not precision surveying.
Take Conota into the field.
Use it on a civil project where location and field context matter.
