"The old way of holding a tape measure and marking lines leaves a lot of room for human error. Now, using the BIM models and Trimble Ri to perform all our layout ensures that everything is going up as efficiently and accurately as possible. Our layout process used to take …

"It helps with route efficiency, which also leads to fuel reduction because we’re now shaving as much as 15 minutes off how long it took us to do something before."

“Before using Trimble, we tracked the fleet by making phone calls to the field crew and writing their location on a white board. When there were storms, the board looked like a chess game. Now, we know exactly where each vehicle is and can schedule repairs by a truck’s proximity …

“The engineering phase has become the most important phase in the construction process, as it determines whether or not we will be successful as an industry. That's why easily available and 100% correct BIM files are of great importance.”

“Until recently we mainly focused on making the installation process easier, but now the design speed has become crucial.”

"Clay influences everything we do here in Gothenburg, not just in Gothenburg but throughout western Sweden, Clay presents challenges, but it also makes working as a geotechnician particularly interesting here in Gothenburg."

“The biggest challenge of this project is coordination and logistics.”

“One of the early steps in the project was to standardize the technology. While there would be different iron manufacturers, the foundational solutions would be Trimble. That was key for the ASN surveying department because it meant that group would not have to deal with so many file types — …

“Communication is everything - especially in construction. Having a central spot in ProjectSight where you can have all the history and understand what happened is crucial.”

“A lot of the waste in construction is from the repeated drawings — it’s the miscommunications, the amount of back-and-forth emails, With connected construction, everyone gets involved in the process from the time it goes from the bid board to when it’s installed and beyond. That solves a major amount …

"It's working fantastic for us because, whether you're in the office, the field, the shop, or you're designing and building the models internally, you have that view into your project status."

"Maintenance software is a no-brainer, You just can't manage a fleet efficiently and stay on top of preventive maintenance schedules when you're doing it by hand or relying on spreadsheets."

"Creating digital models and enriching these consistently through a secure open CDE will also enable us to operate and maintain our infrastructure to the highest standards during its entire lifecycle."

"SketchUp is integral to fueling my creativity. I can generate conceptual work rapidly and get immediate input on my design to progress the work forward."

"I can get real-time information on materials used and where it’s going as it happens, in office. If changes have to be made, I don’t have to hop in the truck to get to the site. I’m in constant wireless communication with our people and machines."
