“For us the decision to move to Accubid Enterprise was the correct one. Our confidence in our estimates is greater than it’s ever been and our team is more productive, allowing us to bid more work.”

"This is an attempt to anticipate the Energy Transition. Valuable information was obtained and the situation will continue to be examined. We are very satisfied and we will certainly make changes to the network's switching states on the basis of this experiment. We care about money."

“The old way of doing site layout for a house, for example, is to hire a surveyor, which is almost always slow, or to take measurements from two known points and pull ties with a tape measure to find the corners. With Trimble site positioning technology, I can layout a 420-foot long driveway and all house corners in about 25 minutes, instead of the two hours it would take to do it the old way. That’s incredibly useful for a small business like ours. One guy can be so much more productive, laying out an entire house lot or a septic system without having to take the other guy off his job. It’s a huge time savings.”

"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 mention the time we save!"

"We had the solution to be quick. Without optimised machines and the right support, things could’ve gotten a little bit messy."

"We had one operator on site who had never used any form of machine control. But he learnt the GCSFlex system really fast, and his accuracy was spot on right from the start even better than the operators who were used to using 3D."

“We selected the Trimble PCS900 Paving Control System because we wanted to ensure that the road base material was laid accurately and within the tight tolerances. This is the best way to ensure the spread rate of higher priced materials like asphalt are met.”

“The Trimble and Cat machine control has completely eliminated the need for staking; it’s also raised productivity levels which brings a lower price tag to the overall project. We are able to quickly build and rehabilitate these roads in five kilometer sections.”

"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."

"I have previously been involved in the installation of five to six golf courses and I have become used to putting myself in the mind of the golf course architect. With the Trimble and Cat grade control systems, I am much more confident about what I am doing and I can concentrate on the details. The most important benefit I've experienced is that I do not have to get out of the machine frequently to take measurements. Also with manual staking I had to constantly navigate around these obstacles, which often had to be replaced by the surveyor- now I can get much more done on my own. I'd estimate productivity has increased 50 percent with Trimble and Cat 3D machine control; when marking out land for plantation I can produce twice as much!"

"We selected the Trimble MX8 imaging and laser scanning system and Trimble SPS930 total station because we wanted improved safety for our surveyors our short project time frame, and our high accuracy requirements of 15 millimeters. As a result of using it, we were able to reduce the total project time and we had more detailed and accurate data for planning, which is a priority for mass optimization across the project."

"The Trimble GCS900 Grade Control Systems on our two Cat 330C and 345C hydraulic excavators got us out of the gate on this project a lot faster than if we didn't have it. We're able to be far more productive in a shorter period of time. Within the first few months we were about a month ahead - mainly because we had no downtime waiting for stakeout or surveying of any kind."

“Since we added the LOADRITE scale we have seen an increase in productivity, we have more accuracy and increased ability to control our feed. It makes such a difference, we have reduced the waste of feed which has been very positive."

“When it comes to surveying, two fewer people are required with the Trimble GSC900 system. I save about 40 minutes per 100 meters, which is the time it used to take the surveyors to stake the work area. It also saves the operator's time because he doesn't have to look for levels or worry about taking out stakes, and the level of acceptance in base layers is approximately 1 centimeter.”
