Leica Geosystems has released a cloud solution to integrate, manage and analyse surveying and control workflows for heavy construction projects: ConX will increase efficiency and reduce downtime, the company says
A combination of engine and driveline technologies will reduce fuel consumption and increase performance in new generation, low emission machines
A wide array of new engine and driveline technologies being developed will help reduce emissions and fuel consumption, while increasing performance in the
latest machines coming to market. With engine manufacturers focussing on the Tier 4 Interim/ Stage IIIB and following Tier 4 Final/Stage IV emissions requirements for North America and Europe, sophisticated
Trimble has launched what it claims is an affordable and easy-to-use site positioning System for superintendents, foremen and field engineers on heavy civil construction sites.
Instead of using paper plans, the Trimble SitePulse System empowers field managers with the same 3D constructible model and digital information that is used by construction surveyors, grade checkers and machine operators.
Trimble SitePulse field software is ideal for construction managers who do not have a surveying background. The
As World Highways was going to press Autodesk was due to announce the 2014 versions of its entire range of programs including AutoCAD, Civil 3D, NavisWorks and Revit Structural and others programs used by the road industry. As previously, they are packaged in suites; Standard, Premium and Ultimate. Key aspects focus around the inclusion of a completely new and fast point-cloud “engine” developed from the Alice Labs company acquisition made last year. Part of a new Autodesk Recap, standing for reality captur
A major Mexican highway project has benefited from the use of the latest machine control technology from Trimble Contractor Construcarr estimates that its work on the Guadalajara – Colima highway project was finished 23% faster due to the use of machine control systems than it would have been using conventional technology. The company used a Trimble GCS900 grade control package instead of staking and grading methods.
The company is a leader in road construction techniques in Mexico and has invested heavi
