“The benefits of adding Prolog Converge to Prolog Manager are many. Together, the two applications standardize workflow and document management for the extended project team; provide a centralized place for collaboration and communication; and provide features like automatic e-mail notifications that increase efficiency.”

“The biggest reason we were interested in investing in a scanner was that we wanted to be able to scan the mechanical room on a new construction site once the equipment is installed and set, The goal is to bring that information back into the model to see where the deviations are so we can dial in the accuracy before we prefabricate from the 3D model.”

“No one cared about me at all at the meeting."

“We looked at the system a few years ago but we weren’t ready for it. When we upgraded our tractor and loader recently the time was right to add the scales."

"The owner selected the total station-based Trimble GSC900 Grade Control System for better quality management and accelerated construction of the highway. We estimate we’ve been able to improve efficiency across the project by 60%."

“Using the Trimble systems allows the operator to get to grade faster than ever, even with the complex I-96 designs. The on-board Trimble CB430 Control Box determines the position of each tip of the motor grader or dozer blade and compares it to the design elevation to compute cut or fill to grade. The cut/fill data is used to drive the valves for automatic blade control or is passed to in-cab light bars that provide visual guidance to the operator when using the indicate-only systems.”

“I am really happy with the accuracy and how easy it is to use."

“With the Trimble system, we were able input everything into the model, set the mill down and just start cutting, and it cut everything to slope and grade. Because of the existing variable slopes of the runway, it would have been nearly impossible to mill everything to the new profile without using 3D technology. It saved us huge amounts of time and manpower in terms of layout, topos and establishing where the grades should be.”

"Steve showed us how to install the CrossCheck device on a scraper and on an articulated dump truck. We then installed the other 34 units ourselves and have been able to handle all of the maintenance too."

“Our scales now allow us to load with speed and accuracy to avoid overloading fines.”

"As well as the increase in loading efficiency as a result of the system being installed, audits are now trouble free due to the visibility of all products."

“Now we get instant information with our Trimble SPS Essentials system.”

“With the sensor we are getting accurate tolerance limits +/- 10 millimeters, and because of that we require less man power. Once the peg marking is done, it runs automatically by auto sensors of hydraulic systems so no man power is required later, which means we can utilize that manpower somewhere else.”

"I see adding machine control technology as another step in our company's evolution. For a relatively low investment, we've brought technology to our company that's saving us time and money. You can't beat that."

“In the first year of having the grade control system we have seen significant benefits in time savings, fuel savings and reduced wear and tear on our equipment. At the same time, we have been able to build a smoother, better road that will require less long-term maintenance. This technology has been a very wise investment for our company, and one we will definitely be using whenever we can in the future.”
