"Trimble and Cat 3D grade control also allows us to make necessary, real-time design changes with confidence. For example working with the architect we were able to reduce the level of an excavated hole due to the specific ground conditions in that area. It required no staking or marking out; instead we just instructed our machine drivers to use the vertical offset feature of the system to lower the design automatically."
“CFXchange is an integral part of our business process and has proven to be very good investment. I would highly recommend Trimble Forestry’s services.”
“Since we often work on very large residential housing estates, we have embraced GNSS in a big way, from rovers with Trimble Siteworks software for set out to machine control solutions for greater efficiency and productivity.”
"One of our VDC team goals is to maximize collaboration to come up with the best solution. We never want anybody to say, 'Okay, I'm going to go back to my desk and come back in a week with answers.' We want to do it now, together. With Quantm while we're collaborating we can edit alignments and come up with alternatives that include updated quantity and cost information in real-time - that's amazing and value- added for our customer."
"Quantm is a perfect application for what we do. We see it as giving us a competitive advantage because we have the flexibility and ability to identify more viable routes and we can provide far greater detail about each alignment in terms of quantities and cost estimates of each and every option being considered that goes way beyond cost-per-mile estimating."
"Thanks to Trimble’s RTK technology, we are within a centimeter at all our job sites and on all of our equipped machinery."
“We’ve been using GNSS equipment for a while—the Central Valley is wide open without much canopy—and this time we had access to CSVSN as well."
"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 staking methods."
"The Quantm system not only provides technical and scientific basis for the route alignment selection/ optimization, reduced alignment cost and planning time, but it also provides a powerful and efficient tool for alignment review, assessment and presentation during the planning and design process."
"In the midst of my research, I was realizing that fuel savings and labor savings alone could offer a pretty quick return on investment over a two or three year period. In our experience with the Trimble systems, my initial conclusions are holding true."
“During the scheme planning phase the design of the alignment had to avoid going directly through the town of Levin. The brief was also to present corridor options that respected environmentally sensitive, culturally protected land, as well as flood-prone areas.”
"In fact, the Trimble site positioning and machine control systems we used helped us to meet our project deadlines."
"Our machines have been equipped with a guidance system since 1996 and we have used 3D guidance systems since 2002. The results are so good that we have continued investing regularly in new technologies."
"That removes any assumptions or misinterpretations in the field regarding the accuracy and quality of the survey data, allowing them to construct more quickly and confidently from day one.”
"Before, when I applied the traditional method, I levelled 2000 square meters a day. Now I work with a Trimble 3D guidance system, and my grader can level as much as 11,000 square meters a day!"
