Site Positioning Software: Top Features to Look for
July 22, 2024In the dynamic construction industry, achieving smooth and accurate grading is pivotal. At SITECH Louisiana, we understand that precision is paramount, especially when fine-tuning surfaces like highways, railways and residential sites. That’s why we trust Trimble’s advanced grade control systems for motor graders, designed to enhance productivity and reduce operational costs.
Grade Control Excellence with Trimble GCS900 3D
The Trimble GCS900 3D system transforms motor graders into high-precision machines capable of achieving finished grades with millimeter accuracy in fewer passes. This system integrates the site plan – design surfaces, grades and alignments – directly into the cab, providing operators with real-time data.
Whether using a single GNSS antenna configuration to measure position and blade slope or a dual GNSS setup for exact positioning and heading, the GCS900 3D ensures material is placed faster and with utmost accuracy, leading to substantial cost savings and productivity. In fact, Trimble’s 3D GCS900 Grade Control System is reported to boost productivity by 50%.
This technology excels in a variety of applications, from material spreading to complex highway construction and large-scale land development projects. Its versatility extends to configurations with universal total stations for scenarios requiring ultra-precise lift and layer control, making it ideal for projects with obstructed skies or requiring super-elevation grading.
Starting Smart with Trimble GCS900 2D
For contractors venturing into construction technology, the Trimble GCS900 2D Grade Control System offers a foundational step towards modernized operations. This system allows operators to measure the lift and tilt of the blade using a single laser and laser receiver setup, with the option to add a slope sensor for enhanced blade slope accuracy. The 2D system speeds up the grading process and ensures tight tolerances are met for a smooth finished grade.
Perfect for projects such as road repairs and new infrastructure work, the GCS900 2D can evolve with your business. It offers a seamless upgrade path to 3D solutions, supporting your growth and expanding capabilities as your project demands increase.
