"Needless to say, maximizing earthworks done in October, November and December was a necessity on this project. We regularly use Trimble machine control and site position systems supplied by KOREC so we knew a project like this would be much more lengthy, costly, and virtually impossible, with traditional grading and …

"If planter 1 farms the headlands first, planter 2 doesn’t have to worry about over seeding in those areas because of the shared coverage map. Since both planters are using Trimble’s Field-IQ and Tru Count clutches, the sections are turned off automatically when driving over the applied area, which saves …

"We had to produce a number of drawings for the network-rail approval process. Although these needed to be done at an earlier stage than we would typically do on projects, they allowed the client to fast-track the approvals process prior to the main contractor starting on site. Using Tekla to …

“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 …

“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 …

"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 …

“We reached ROI in less than a year. Right off the bat. MPG jumped by .8, or approximately 15% fuel savings for 10 million miles.”
