"Becoming a data driven company in construction right now is really important. In order to do that well, we are embracing the toolset Trimble Viewpoint has to offer."

“With every new job, we see an evolution in terms of skills and how we use technology. The important part is in learning how different software packages talk to each other, and how they transfer information between each other so that when you go back to the geometry model, you …

"SketchUp is integral to fueling my creativity. I can generate conceptual work rapidly and get immediate input on my design to progress the work forward."

“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.”

“But, after a while of using the Trimble system in conjunction with the weighbridge, we could see that it was accurate and starting operating solely off the Trimble data.”

“Beyond the time-savings, automated communications cut down on confusion and mistakes that typically end with ‘But I thought you said.’ PeopleNet provides documentation and tracking for ensuring that the driver not only receives information from dispatch, but also reads messages. We don’t have to rely on the human ear, which …

“My task was to plan an optimized road line between the start and end points in this corridor. The corridor includes rocky terrain, forest, waterways, a cultural heritage site as well as residential properties with buildings.”

“While dispatch is in progress, we get information back as to what time they got there, delivery data, how long and when they leave.”

“The key word is ‘integration.’ In the future, we will see more and more instruments that are capable of integrating optics, GNSS and lasers with fast and easy-to-use software.”

“We wanted to have RTK-quality measurement of the bucket movements right down to the teeth-level in real-time. The system Measutronics helped us put together worked because it was equally effective in placing rock and removing material with a high degree of accuracy and reliability in very rough conditions.”

“Safety and risk management is on everybody’s mind these days with CSA (Compliance Safety Accountability), and PeopleNet is a great asset in this area.”

“eDriver Logs also helped us clear a DOT compliance audit in June that impressed the auditor in record keeping availability through the PeopleNet Fleet Manager. The auditor had difficulty in believing that drivers could not change “Form & Manner” of the log but eventually accepted that this was truly a …

“This project had another first for us. We did no staking for earthworks. Our [sub]contractor, Aertssen, used machine control for the earthworks and Trimble equipment, which mainly uses GNSS. Around buildings where there’s not much sky, the small excavators are controlled by total stations. In past projects, when there were …

“Adapting to the SX10 was no problem. BAM Contractors use a lot of Trimble equipment and software, including the “S” series robotic total stations, TSC3 data collectors, Dini levels and Trimble Business Center office software.”

“We heard from the project owner that other contractors on the Moapa solar site were struggling to drive piles because of the severe, rocky terrain."
