“Having Trimble Earthworks really helps us be more accurate because it allows us to get our dirt grades closer. When we can use less gravel, that equates to less concrete for the foundation guys and down the line. Contractors are all about keeping their costs down, so if we can …

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

“In the villages, property rights are customary and oral, and are passed down by the village councils. There is uncertainty over land ownership and rights. And without firm ownership, people tend to invest less in the land.”

"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 …

“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 …

"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 …

"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 …

“The Highway 97 project is especially important because it goes a long way toward improving safety and commercial traffic flow through the corridor, as well as improving access to pristine recreational spaces. We knew that by leveraging Trimble machine control technology we would have more grading accuracy and a streamlined …
