Fading & rework
Paint and flags can vanish overnight. Crews spend time re-walking, re-marking, and re-briefing.
AR utility marking preservation
Never lose utility markings again.
Capture locate paint once. Re-visualize it anytime in augmented reality—after weather, traffic, grading, or rework. Keep crews aligned, cut re-marks, and reduce the risk of strikes.

Paint is temporary. Risk is not.
Utility markings are designed to fade and get destroyed by rain, sun, traffic, sweeping, paving, and grading. When markings disappear, teams lose confidence, schedules slip, and the chance of a strike goes up.
Costly re-marks
Waiting on new locates can stall work. Change orders and idle equipment burn margin fast.
Miscommunication
Photos get lost in texts. Different crews interpret markings differently across shifts and phases.
Preserve the locate. See it again in AR.
Civilar.ai turns temporary markings into a persistent, shareable digital layer. Capture the site once, then re-align and visualize markings on demand—right where crews need them.
- AR overlay for “where we marked it” context
- Site notes + photo evidence linked to location
- Share to foremen, locators, supers, and subs
- Designed for field speed: capture in minutes
“If the markings are gone, we’re either waiting… or guessing. Neither is acceptable.”

Built for the realities of the jobsite
Fast capture, clear visualization, and accountability—without slowing the crew down.
Capture & pin
Record locate paint with geospatial context and attach notes, photos, and issue tags.
Re-align in seconds
Return days later and re-visualize markings even after grading, paving, or weather events.
Share a single source of truth
Stop hunting through texts. Send one link to the current site layer to the entire team.
Audit trail
Know who captured what, when, and where—helpful for disputes, safety reviews, and handoffs.
Designed for safety culture
Make “verify before you dig” easier by keeping visual context available at the point of work.
Integration-ready
Built to connect with modern construction workflows (BIM/reality capture platforms, CM tools, and CRM).
Competitive context: Reality capture tools like OpenSpace and Matterport document jobsites visually; XR platforms like Trimble SiteVision enable in-field visualization. Civilar.ai focuses specifically on preserving and re-visualizing utility locate markings when the paint is gone.
How it works
Three steps from fresh paint to a persistent AR layer.
-
1
Capture
Walk the work zone and capture locate paint + key reference points.
-
2
Align
When you return, align to the same references so overlays snap back to place.
-
3
Visualize & share
View markings in AR and share the site layer to the crew and stakeholders.
