“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."
"Having a fleet of rental equipment with machine control technology allows us to be more competitive and deliver a better product for our customers."
“Since we often work on very large residential housing estates, we have embraced GNSS in a big way, from rovers with Trimble Siteworks software for set out to machine control solutions for greater efficiency and productivity.”
“We needed two GNSS antennas to ensure accurate heading measurements even in areas with magnetic charge, such as railways. On average, the Vitirover achieves 5 cm accuracy."
“The robot must move fast to handle high traffic flow and precisely to park cars as densely as possible. When looking for an accurate, available and reliable localization solution, Trimble is the company name that comes first.”
“We chose to incorporate the Trimble BD940 receiver into the Routescene Ground Station, to ensure full compatibility with the GNSS receiver in the LidarPod, and because of its ability to output RTK corrections in a variety of different formats. Flexibility and reliability were paramount to us to ensure minimal or no downtime during a project. Directly compatible and complementary to the BD940 receiver is the Zephyr antenna, which was chosen to ensure the GNSS signals were received and processed with as little signal loss as possible."
“We’re investing up front to eliminate a lot of the unknowns and have a clear plan, long before we win the work.”
“We used virtual mock up’s in Tekla & Trimble Connect to reduce risk of project delays and make sure all of the #18 bars were going to fit together with all of the beam rebar and post tensioned cables.”
“Trimble Connect has an incredibly low barrier to entry. It’s easy to access and use, so it opens the door to better collaboration across stakeholders, from the office to the field. With Trimble Connect, anyone can pull up the model and visualize any or all of the disciplines in one place. This cross-discipline visibility allows us to have actual conversations about how to best tackle conflicts and pull the project together.”
“Planning the slickline in order to pump concrete was very important. We will be wrapping up level one while pouring concrete up top. Everything has to run smoothly because we are going to get to a point where we will be pumping concrete over 1000 ft high into the building. We need to visualize what’s going on.”
“With Trimble Construction One, we don’t have to worry about purchasing licenses when we want to bring a new team member into a workflow. It’s been easy to scale and bring in other team members.”
“Our goal is to be the most technologically advanced construction company in Ottawa.”
“Our goal is to have one resource for all site data—about labor, equipment and materials—on a project that is continually updated. We've been back and forth with other organizations trying to find this real-time, as-built connected data workflow. Trimble stood out as the one that has the most and best products—as well as the willingness to work with us to optimize a solution.”
“By centralizing all of our data in one place using the Trimble Construction Cloud and Microsoft Power Apps, we have the framework to sort through all project data in one place, allowing us to come back with actionable conclusions.”
"Before a project starts, we are juggling subcontractor availability, project start dates, site logistics and ensuring the availability of skilled craftsmen, As projects progress, we ensure trades are working together, moving in the same direction and elevating issues that need resolution. Up-to-date information is essential to keeping projects moving and making critical decisions, both impacting profitability."
