“It takes a surveyor to orient a scan to a specific location on the earth. In the end, I believe that scanning should and will become an everyday part of survey life. I fully expect the scanner to become just another tool on the survey truck."
"This project was and is under significant time pressure for our client. We quickly had discussions and conveyed what we needed to be surveyed. The location is unique. It’s elevated, and the fans emit heat. Additionally, the building has some vibrations since a portion of the overall project is still under construction."
“Adapting to the SX10 was no problem. BAM Contractors use a lot of Trimble equipment and software, including the “S” series robotic total stations, TSC3 data collectors, Dini levels and Trimble Business Center office software.”
“We have come a long way in a short time – and we are getting results.”
"At the company level, we started with a day-to-day approach of what processes and functions needed to be put in place. We started at the grass-roots level – first with field work – and had strong management support throughout the project."
"This is an attempt to anticipate the Energy Transition. Valuable information was obtained and the situation will continue to be examined. We are very satisfied and we will certainly make changes to the network's switching states on the basis of this experiment. We care about money."
"For 10 kV, both interruption costs and annual outage time were reduced. Most importantly, the peak dissipation power was reduced by more than 100 kW. And the voltage drop was improved with this new optimized switching state."
“We’re a project management office that executes conceptual design, engineering, and detailed design through construction and commissioning – and it’s something that we do very well. However, this multi-billion-dollar capital program, which includes funding from provincial and federal sources, added a whole new dimension to our operations and a need."
“We recognized that we needed to consolidate our operations, and improve communication amongst ourselves, to senior leadership, and to outside partners and stakeholders.”
“We hope to be able to add new quality processes with e-Builder and strive for excellence in our future endeavors.”
“We chose a new type of solution. A traditional model was never on the drawing board as there was a need to use a specific hybrid of heating and cooling. For the first time in Fortum’s history, the new solution uses an industrial-scale air-water heat pump- and water circulation-based system that can produce both heating and cooling. In the same connection, Fortum founded a low-temperature network that can produce heat using less power and a lower temperature. Heat is produced with electricity that does not emit any CO2.”
"In the light of these results, we can recommend it to other utilities. Especially if your utility has never calculated the return on investment for switching devices before. And then, if it is a challenge to include automation projects in construction programs, it makes it easier when you can show in euros that a disconnector or recloser will save this much in a certain period of time and has this payback period. That's where switch optimization helps."
“We now have a consistent process for every change order that gives everyone the ability to look at all change orders to make sure we’re moving forward, and be predictive for the future.”
"Thanks to Optimizer, we are able to do detailed plans early in the process, while we are still in the preliminary planning phase, so we have better visibility of the end result also in financial terms."
"The job of a network analyst involves a lot of understanding of the operating environments of different network areas and analyzing future trends. Thanks to Network Optimizer, more time is available for analyzing such large-scale issues, as time-consuming manual steps can be done faster than before."
