Personnel using 2373 Spectra Precision FOCUS solutions can now benefit from a more robust set of tools. This field software provides a wide array of tools to cope with an array of survey and construction projects. One key new feature is the LandXML Road support for laying out engineering and road profile elements, as this can improve dataflow and efficiency on site. In addition, external data streaming for the output of measurement and positional data from Survey Pro in an XML output means that data can be adapted to specific needs. And in Survey Pro version 4.10, the Spectra Precision Solution Improvement Program allows a user to opt-in to provide information about how field software is used, allowing future upgrades to benefit from field data.

    February 14, 2012
    Wirtgen has developed a novel control system for use on its concrete paving equipment. Matthias Fritz is the product engineer at Wirtgen tasked with developing the system. The new AutoControlpackage uses GPS technology to provide guidance for the machine's steering functions. Fritz added, "It has an augmentation centre for vertical control because it requires millimetre accuracy for height." This 3D control system is for use with the firm's SP15 and SP25 slipform pavers and is said to be a user-friendly, co

    Modern software is stretching traditional design boundaries on a motorway widening in the Netherlands, reports Adrian Greeman There was a time when civil engineering and aesthetics did not mix too well, especially on roads. The artistic ideas of an architect did not blend with the stringent requirements of structure. But modern three-dimensional modelling software is helping this change. Design notions that might have been overly complicated in the past are now attainable with hi-tech analysis tools.
