What is SiteView?

Pasco SiteView is a construction site surveying and measurement platform that lets you visualise your sites, process drone surveys, overlay design surfaces, take precise measurements, and compare as-built conditions against design — all on an interactive 3D globe.

What Does SiteView Do?

SiteView is purpose-built for construction site surveying and spatial analysis. Where Pasco Cloud handles project management, inspections, and document workflows, SiteView focuses on the physical reality of your construction sites — the terrain, the earthworks, the design surfaces, and the measurements that matter.

At its core, SiteView gives you a 3D globe view of all your sites. You can fly to any site, overlay drone survey imagery and design files, and use a comprehensive set of measurement tools to analyse distances, areas, volumes, elevations, gradients, and more. When your design files are loaded, you can compare the current ground surface against the intended design to check conformance, calculate cut and fill volumes, and verify grades.

ℹ️ Did you know?

SiteView uses CesiumJS to render a full 3D globe with terrain data. This means you see your sites in their real-world context — with elevation, surrounding geography, and accurate spatial positioning — not just flat pins on a 2D map.

How SiteView Relates to Pasco Cloud

SiteView shares user accounts with Pasco Cloud. If you already have a Pasco Cloud account, you can log in to SiteView at siteview.pasco.cloud with the same email and password. There is no separate registration.

SiteView sites can optionally be linked to Pasco Cloud projects. When linked, the site inherits the project's location and your team can navigate between the two platforms seamlessly — managing documents and workflows in Pasco Cloud while handling spatial analysis in SiteView.

💡 Tip

You do not need to use Pasco Cloud to use SiteView. SiteView works as a standalone surveying tool. But if your team already uses Pasco Cloud for project management, linking sites to projects keeps everything connected.

Key Features

Site Management

Create and organise your construction sites with names, descriptions, tags, and status tracking. Each site has its own detail page with a full 3D map view and tabbed interface for surveys, layers, measurements, and timeline.

Drone Survey Processing

Upload drone imagery and process it into orthophotos, digital elevation models (DEMs), and point clouds. SiteView supports importing pre-processed data from Pix4D, DroneDeploy, and Metashape — upload your outputs and SiteView handles the tiling and overlay automatically.

Design Surface Overlays

Upload DXF and KML/KMZ design files to overlay your engineering designs on the 3D globe. See planned road alignments, building footprints, contour lines, and lot boundaries rendered directly on the terrain alongside your survey data.

10 Measurement Tools

SiteView includes ten dedicated measurement tools for construction site analysis:

1. Distance & Bearing — measure between two or more points
2. Area — calculate the area of a polygon
3. Volume & Stockpile — compute the volume of a stockpile or excavation
4. Elevation Profile — view the elevation along a drawn path
5. Gradient / Slope — measure the gradient between two points
6. Coordinate Readout — read MGA2020 or NZTM2000 coordinates at any point
7. Height — measure the vertical height at a location
8. Arc / Curve — measure along an arc or curved path
9. Grade Check — verify the grade of a surface against a target
10. Cross-Section — view a cross-section profile through the terrain

Design Comparison

Compare as-built survey data against your design surfaces. Calculate cut and fill volumes, check grades against design, overlay cross-sections, and generate heat maps showing where the ground sits above or below the intended design level.

Alignment Checking

Import road and corridor alignments from LandXML and DXF files. View chainage markers along the alignment, generate cross-sections at any chainage, and check conformance against the design corridor.

RTK Receiver Integration

Connect a Bluetooth RTK GNSS receiver directly through your browser using Web Bluetooth. SiteView supports NTRIP corrections for centimetre-level accuracy, with real-time position display and point capture on the 3D map.

Export

Export your measurements and analysis to PDF reports, CSV spreadsheets, or DXF files for use in other engineering software.

Coordinate Systems

SiteView supports two coordinate systems commonly used in construction across Australia and New Zealand:

• MGA2020 — Map Grid of Australia 2020, used across all Australian states and territories
• NZTM2000 — New Zealand Transverse Mercator 2000, used throughout New Zealand

The coordinate system is auto-detected based on your site's location, or you can set it manually in your SiteView settings.

Who Is SiteView For?

SiteView is designed for construction professionals who need spatial analysis and site measurement capabilities:

• Surveyors — processing drone data, taking measurements, checking design conformance
• Site engineers — verifying grades, checking alignments, calculating volumes
• Project managers — visualising site progress, reviewing survey data, tracking earthworks
• Earthworks contractors — measuring stockpiles, calculating cut and fill, checking levels

Web App and Mobile App

SiteView is available as a web application at siteview.pasco.cloud, providing the full 3D globe experience with all measurement and analysis tools. The web app runs in any modern browser and works best on desktop or laptop for detailed spatial work.

A companion mobile app (Pasco SiteView) is available for Android and iOS. The mobile app focuses on field use — viewing sites on a map, capturing GPS points, connecting RTK receivers via Bluetooth, taking distance measurements, and working offline with cached map tiles.

💡 Tip

Use the web app for detailed analysis — processing surveys, overlaying designs, running measurement tools, and generating reports. Use the mobile app when you are on-site and need quick point capture, RTK positioning, or offline access to your site data.
