"While we’d used spreadsheets for estimates for many years, this approach was prone to error. Also, as the business grew, it became clear that this wasn’t always suitable for the larger projects we were wanting to bid for. It was around this time that Trimble launched Tekla PowerFab; we had …

"We went from being a 3,000 tons per-year factory to about 12,000 tons per month. This was a big shift, and the key to achieving it was our ability to use Tekla Structures software. We can now handle 30 to 40 projects in our shop."

"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 …

"Customers have been happy with the service, as the street-area permit process is now very fast — permits are issued in two days, on average."

“It just runs. We turn it on in the morning and we don’t have any major issues, a few little learning curves, but we are all brand new with the software too. But good support through SITECH. We haven’t had any major issues.”

"We aim to offer high-quality electronic services to our customers."

"By involving citizens more deeply in the master planning process, we have fostered a greater sense of community and trust."

“SITECH helped us put the design profile into our gear as well as our target depths and our cut design profile. Looking at the TMC display we have a drawing of the digger in real-time as we move the dredge head up and down. We go down to our target …

"The problem was that foremen didn’t have a clear idea what levels were like out on the paddocks. They were always asking surveyors to throw in a few pegs to have a look."

“No enterprise GIS, no GIS software, and no dedicated GIS staff. We got a grant for port security, secured GIS software, and plans were formed to convert disparate legacy records, site plans and institutional knowledge.”

"Conservatively, at least 80% of the project is designed at a half of a percent of slope. Because that’s nearly impossible to grade by naked eye, it becomes one of a number of reasons why we use GPS grade control."

“We use the Trimble R2 with CenterPoint RTX. It does a great job for us for being able to quickly measure the coordinates of our ground control points.”

“Trimble CenterPoint® RTX has significantly simplified our staking process. On a good day, when everything is clicking, we can easily stake 12 or even 15 miles a day.”

"For the operation it is a very good system. We can honestly state that we are setting a standard and don't get behind with monitoring the progress."

"It gives a certain advantage over the competition, and it puts my company ahead of the others in both technical and safety terms. I reply to calls for tender by showing that technically we can work differently with the machine guiding system. This makes a difference, and I win more …
