Common questions
Why do solar EPC projects require equipment calibration tracking?
Solar EPC QC programs require that measurement equipment used for pile elevation verification and grade checking is calibrated and within the manufacturer's calibration interval. If a GPS rover or grade laser is used out of calibration, the EPC may reject the pile elevation data and require re-verification — at significant cost. Maintaining calibration records and alerts prevents this scenario.
What equipment needs calibration tracking on a solar site?
Key equipment requiring calibration tracking on solar construction sites includes: RTK GPS receivers and rovers (annual factory calibration + frequent field checks), grade lasers (annual calibration + monthly self-checks), total stations (annual calibration), machine control systems on scrapers and dozers (calibration per manufacturer interval), and any measuring instruments used for QC documentation.
How does Gradelog alert crews to upcoming calibration due dates?
When you add equipment to Gradelog and set the calibration due date, the system tracks the remaining days until calibration is required. Equipment approaching its calibration due date appears as an alert on the job dashboard and equipment list. This ensures crews know to schedule calibration before the instrument is needed on site for pile verification.
