Client Obligations
What we would require from our clients.
- Our clients supply a 3D model, preferably in Mx Genio format/3D AutoCAD
- Your model should contain all design strings, including the master string in road projects
- We can also take a 2D AutoCAD drawing and convert it into a 3D Model.
How we deliver to your expectations
Our Trained surveyors will interrogate the model and edit it, if necessary, to generate a digital terrain model (DTM)
Background drawing files will be created ready to be loaded into the machine’s display unit for the driver’s use.
This model will then be generated in the computer simulator to determine the surface anomalies. These anomalies will be corrected prior to the transfer of the 3D model being loading into the dozer onboard computer.
Machine Control Systems
2D Laser Technology
Trimble’s 2D Laser Technology accelerates precision grading in site preparation, trenching, and road construction tasks. Utilizing laser-guided machinery, it significantly hastens reaching desired grades. Trimble’s advanced system reduces manual labor and errors.
3D GPS Technology
Our 3D GPS kit, ideal for large earthwork projects, offers a precision of +/- 15 to 25mm. Start with our Trimble SPS855 base station, convert the design model to a dozer-compatible file, then load it. This gives our certified CPCS operator a clear view of Cut/Fill and site layout, ensuring precise execution.
3D UTS System
Ideal for precision finishing, our UTS system delivers enhanced accuracy within a range of +/-3 – 6mm. Utilization of the UTS entails a daily setup of the Trimble SPS930 robotic instrument by our adept engineers, ensuring seamless tracking of the prism affixed to the Dozer for accurate information relay.
