“The main reason for choosing Trimble, in addition to it being a global brand, is the simplicity of use and configuration of these systems, and the fact that it is very easy to bring together recent and old equipment without too many compatibility concerns."

"I have previously been involved in the installation of five to six golf courses and I have become used to putting myself in the mind of the golf course architect. With the Trimble and Cat grade control systems, I am much more confident about what I am doing and I can concentrate on the details. The most important benefit I've experienced is that I do not have to get out of the machine frequently to take measurements. Also with manual staking I had to constantly navigate around these obstacles, which often had to be replaced by the surveyor- now I can get much more done on my own. I'd estimate productivity has increased 50 percent with Trimble and Cat 3D machine control; when marking out land for plantation I can produce twice as much!"

“It just became a passion after that to help those smaller companies get a foothold on technology and not get scared away by the wow factor, the cost, and all those things."

“In all it comes down to time and money. Instead of turning that model around in two or three days, we can make the changes immediately and that efficiency gain helps us move on to the next task, respond faster to what the customer needs all while keeping the project moving forward.”

“This is the world’s first tunnel where the Trimble compaction system is used with a Universal Total Station."

“Measurements using leveling and plate load is one thing, measurements with the compactor’s compaction meter values is another. The CMV values have gone up and down all the time. We had to do something to find CMV values we can rely on. Very few can do something about this, but in this case we have managed to do it in collaboration between Pon, SITECH, Trimble, Veidekke and competent engineers with the contracting builder."

“It’s easy to pick pipe and fittings from the library. If it’s not readily available, or it’s a special item, PipeDesigner 3D’s Data Editor makes it easy to create or revise an existing similar object. We can do anything with the software.”

"With so much at stake compliance, DOT audits and fines, insurance rates and most importantly safety we have to ensure accurate logs. There is simply no more efficient way to do that than a system synching EOBRs to eDriver Logs and a GPS system."

“The ability to switch between total station surveying and scanning with one instrument allows us to be more efficient, both in time and costs. The SX10 is giving us the ability to take on projects that require real-time surveying and opening up a whole range of business development opportunities.”

“Furthermore, the model makes it much easier to detect and correct cross-disciplinary collisions and design conflicts in the engineering phase. Hence you may avoid building errors at the construction site. This may also be a potential gain for the end-result."

"The questions seemed to focus on the procedure for arrivals. Easy stuff."

"Planning is much easier because the system gives us greater visibility into each driver’s schedule where they are and how much drive time they have. The drivers know that we don’t have to juggle emergency changes to get them home after their 70 hours, and they don’t worry about it anymore."

"There’s someone else besides our drivers and load planners who likes the system just as much that’s our log clerk. She saves lots of time not having to decipher paper logs. And of course, that frees her up for other duties."

“With the LOADRITE scale we are able to load fast and accurately.”

“Over one month we shifted about 6000 tons of material and comparing the LOADRITE system with the disposal site weighbridge, it was only about a 42 ton difference, which is well within our scope of works. During the first five months, we probably handled around 70,000 tons, and at most it is within 3%; in one month it was just 0.8% out – it wasn’t even 1% out.”
