"Using Trimble's various discipline applications to design both road, rail, terrain and water/sewer, and by assembling everything in one single project model, we get a much better design basis compared to traditional 2D drawings and model files."

“Because each unique environment requires the measuring of different data, the team can’t rely on just one form to cover every project. Now any changes to a form can be updated in the office and field via the Cloud. All our guys need to do is find cell phone coverage, …

“On a program or project of this size, closeout can be one of the most difficult and time consuming tasks. Having everything we need in Prolog saves us several weeks of time during closeout.”

“Many people aren’t able to read plans or visualize the plan in 3D from a bit of paper. Our ability to effectively bring the project to life right in front of their eyes with Trimble SiteVision has great benefits. We love that we can go out in the field with …

"One of the key things I like is the easy workflow and automatic registering in the field for the scans I capture."

“All of this high tech stuff we are doing is quite unique. You can get all of this technology if you’re working with the big consulting companies here in Sweden. But the difference is if you are working with them, you need 20 guys. But with SiteVision, we will manage …

"eCognition is incredibly teachable. It absorbs various forms of data, it strictly follows rules and it adapts when the information or rules change. It's the ideal student."

"We suspected there was a way to automate this and get a little more data using Trimble technology. We reached out to the folks at Cansel who were able to find the ideal solution to Our problem."

"Historically, the workflow from the design platform into the contractor’s platform has required a lot of duplicated effort from the contractor, who essentially has to build their own models from paper plan sets and 2D design files. As everyone is moving to digital delivery, the ability to seamlessly transfer usable …

“Through this cohesive and collaborative workflow, we were able to make iterative design changes such as moving a noise wall closer on a berm to reduce the wall size by half. Our team can design the iterative changes, quantify them in real-time and work with MnDOT design, construction, and maintenance …

“Walking piles to measure volumes with a GPS rover was just too time-consuming for the sheer size of our piles.”

“Many aren’t familiar with the technology, which is fine because of how easy and straightforward Trimble Stratus is to use.”

“The software we had previously been using was pretty basic – it didn’t allow for effective collaboration and also wasn’t 3D compatible. We would have to manually add in the figures and setting out points for roadways, while also manually typing in coordinates. While it worked fine for its time, …

“The overall goal of the road project is to make it socioeconomically profitable. We believe model-based collaboration and open information flow contribute to success. Therefore, we will complete the road project through a full digital planning process, and we have contracted the consultants using the Best Value Procurement method to …

"Infrastructure projects, such as road projects are always lengthy and require a lot of data. The data come from a lot of sources and are dispersed so we need a different approach when applying BIM to our business."
