“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."
“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 way to communicate design changes with our operators fast.”
"The weighing system is the right way to do it in terms of project economics, truck driving safety, fuel consumption and road traffic.”
"The objective was clear: move toward new equipment providing for greater productivity. In the initial phase of such a project, lots of cubic meters need to be moved, but then in the subsequent phase the square meters needed to be groomed, all while meeting deadlines and precision requirements set by the project owner."
"The feedback we have on the use of Trimble solutions is all positive. We have been testing them for several years, starting with the A29 in 2003. That's a guarantee of reliability and efficiency. Every operator knows what to do and positions himself easily and quickly on the job site for the best daily productivity."
“This was without a doubt the most complex parking lot we’ve ever done. There were valleys and ridges and crazy stuff all over. The elevations were off – nothing matched. The engineer had been fired. The plans made no sense.”
"When you look at the volume of information we collect, share and analyze on a daily basis, it just gives us a huge advantage in accuracy and productivity in everything from modeling and earthworks, to mass haul. It’s hard to imagine we’d be able to produce these results so quickly without a unified view of the project and without the Connected Site from Trimble."
"Building our own dredging systems is something we’re really proud of. In building them we can apply our years of experience to ensure we have the right machinery we need to carry out our clients’ work."
"Since adopting Trimble GPS solutions five years ago, there has been a significant improvement in project productivity, accuracy, quality assurance and reporting."
“The weighing systems are accurate and easy to use. They only needed to be calibrated at installation and then were ready for immediate use. We get accuracy within 3% of payload on our excavator and within 1% on the wheel loader, which helps us know exactly when we’ve reached maximum weight capacity without going over.”
“The basic rule of dredging is that you don’t want to over- or under-dredge. Over-dredging means you spent time and money, like burning diesel, that you didn’t need to; and if you under-dredge your floor may not meet design depth specification. You really need to be precise and efficient in your work and also have the ability to make adjustments according to design parameters.”
“Equipping our excavator with the Trimble LOADRITE X2350 weighing system optimizes the economics of earthworks excavating. Now the trucks are loaded exactly with the optimal weight. The trucks are no longer underloaded, and we don’t have to worry about them being overloaded, either.”
“For the invert elevations I took all of the CAD line work and elevated it to 3D based on the engineer's design. Our utility lines had to come into 35 manholes and all of the paving in the parking lots was tied into the surface at the top of those manholes, so it was critical that our excavation and grade were on target.”
