“MBS is an integral part of our business and plays a role in every phase of our projects, so we needed a BIM solution that would integrate well with MBS and allow us to progress from 2D to 3D without slowing down our work.”

“While the equipment was being shipped, a scan of the runway was run, which took one night - as opposed to the six months the conventional survey took - and it showed some big problems with the design and tie-ins on the side joint, which could now be fixed before …

“Instead of leaving the field, going back to the desktop in the office, entering the information and sometimes that Excel document would be locked because someone else was using it, so you’d have to come back our new system not only saves hours, but also helps us build more consistent …

“We have to confirm the minimum line of excavation, but also we don't want to waste each excavator's time across the day shift and night shift, Each operator needs to know where the previous excavator has excavated because they're all going in blind.”

“Theoretically, we recognized the value of technology such as GNSS for positioning and machine control, but have struggled to find the right solutions with good customer service to help guide our decisions.”

“Before we start any activity, we require a pre-construction commencement walk with engineers and stakeholders that includes SiteVision and ground penetrating radar (GPR), so that everyone understands the requirements for the project, has clarity about what’s underground and recognizes the potential risks.”

“We’re a small company and we don’t do enough work to make the investment in big machine control systems, which usually require base stations and other connected technologies."

“The skid steer is not the best piece of equipment for this task because it has limitations in its drilling depth, Ideally, we wanted a crawler type of drilling unit able to dig deeper with GPS.”

“It’s very user friendly and gives our operators a lot more information on the screen, It’s amazing the accuracy we can get on a job.”

“We are really lucky that we haven’t seen a labor shortage, but we know it’s coming. Technology that enhances operator tasks will certainly make a difference. The programs are more user friendly so even novice operators can get up to speed quickly.”

“It just became a passion after that to help those smaller companies get a foothold on technology and not get scared away by the wow factor, the cost, and all those things."

“We run all 3D now, whether we’re working on a racetrack or a roadway, Over the years, we learned how to use these tools to optimize our skills on flat areas, and then translated those lessons learned to extreme conditions like high sloped racetracks.”

“That was one of the biggest things that made this project possible in the tight timeline, If not for the Perpendicular capabilities, I believe the dirt work would have taken us much longer because we would have had to keep checking and rechecking to meet the defined specifications.”

“The platform is very dynamic with a lot of cross capabilities for a large gamut of tech and non-tech savvy users. Our senior managers and executives use the data to track projects. The data has become so integral to our processes.”

“Küsnacht wanted to get a clear understanding of the possibilities to bring lifecycle costs down on infrastructure maintenance projects."
