“Our utility maps give contractors fast visibility to buried gas, electric, sewer, water, or irrigation lines. To construction managers these maps are a safety net; to us as a service provider they are a due diligence.”

“Every 5 metres, we have a point for as-built measurements that we capture with the rover to double-check quality of the work completed, and those as-built measurements are always within 20 mm of the design.”

“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."

"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 …

"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 …

"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!"

"Another advantage of this system was the additional safety it provided. There are no more operations taking place behind me for the purpose of checking or planting stakes, and I no longer need to get out and check every five minutes. That is definitely reassuring for us operators. Not to …
