“I strongly recommend that any coastal area prone to flooding, hurricanes and tropical storms take the same precautions we took, As soon as Hurricane Ivan struck, our GPS data was invaluable. I can’t imagine digging ourselves out from another hurricane as blindly as we did before we used GPS.”

“With Catalyst we have better accuracy and more confidence in positioning. It gives us the ability to be more competitive and deliver superior service to our clients.”

"Loadrite has helped address speed issues, more can be mixed in a day than before, its more productive and far more efficient."

“In the stationary crushing operation, it appeared we had a lot of material that was recirculating, It was going on conveyor belts, through screening plants, into various crushers, and then coming back onto that conveyor belt.”

“The plants weren’t as big and product splits weren’t as detailed as they are now. It was easier to see glitches because we were only pulling off two or three products. Now, we could have as many as seven different products in a day coming off the finishing plant, and …

“Location accuracy, data acquisition speed (within 15 seconds), as well as the ability to identify even a single plant, are the main advantages of using Catalyst."

“We don’t dig faster metre by metre, but in a day, we would definitely increase productivity by up to 500 metres because we don’t have to stop and move a laser. With the laser we could lose several hours in a day. Now, depending on ground conditions, we can dig …

“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.”

“The Trimble MX7 mobile mapping system will allow us to accurately map all 300,000 water meters in 2 to 3 years, compared to 8 to 10 years using manual methods. Up-to-date location information is vital for reducing our maintenance costs and enhancing our customer service.”

“Adding the MX7 to our GIS expertise has driven the creation of two divisions (Eagle GIS and Eagle Municipal), it’s employing more people than we are taking out of the field, and it’s giving us a unique offering that we only see improving.”

“It’s a competitive advantage, We’re a mid-size civil engineering contractor in our region, but we compete with larger companies with more resources for many civil projects. Technology is a differentiator for us, allowing our crews to do more work in less time with better quality. Our goal is to deliver …

“The speed and accuracy of the TX8 ensures we’ll capture everything we need the first time. GeoNext has completed around 200 projects with the TX8, and it never lets us down."

“The X7 is a whole new level of scanning. With its compactness, speed, selfleveling and registering, we can complete more precise surveys in half the time and take on more work.”

“I got push back for about a week. But when they realized that our productivity jumped from 2,100 yards of grading and compaction a day to over 6,000 a day, with great accuracy, they were sold.”

“The sitework alone required the movement of more than 3,000,000 cubic yards of dirt, considerable storm drainage systems, and several very deep foundations.”
