“We built a very robust integration that captures budget and the procurement cycle. The books between the Finance department and the books in e-Builder Enterprise are in sync."
“Speed to market is everything. We estimate a 15-30% labor savings on any job using Trimble SysQue with Trimble Connect and Trimble Robotic Total Stations.”
“It is mind blowing what you can do using Earthworks. It is making the job easier – as we are able to be more precise and efficient. In addition, it’s also engaging me as an operator.”
“Moving into assembling the construction systems we manufacture off-site was a logical next step in advancing the business, but even though the market demand was there, we couldn’t do it alone.”
“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 anyone from key stakeholders to contractors to members of the general public and translate what we see on our computer screens in the office for them in the field.”
"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 to do the same thing with two guys.”
"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 3D data has become a reality.”
“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 to move it forward. It’s a great way to keep innovating and delivering the best possible solution.”
“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, it gradually became more outdated as digital technology evolved."
“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 do that. In order to succeed with the project, it is important that all stakeholders are kept oriented on a regular basis and are given the opportunity to provide input.”
