Monitoring software update from Trimble

Trimble is offering an updated version of its real-time monitoring software, the 4D Control package. This Version 5.0 upgrade offers new features that allow users to streamline real-time structural monitoring system deployment as well as simplify the connection to geotechnical sensors. Trimble 4D Control software allows project stakeholders to monitor critical infrastructure such as dams and bridges along with buildings surrounding construction sites and tunnels.

Trimble is offering an updated version of its real-time monitoring software, the 4D Control package.

This software is said to deliver accurate movement analysis as well as extensive support for a wide variety of monitoring sensors. These can range from total stations to piezometers and crack gauges to GNSS reference receivers. In addition, multiple monitoring sites can be managed from a single, platform that allows visualisation, performs rigorous analysis and provides alerts, for real-time automated monitoring applications.

According to Trimble Monitoring Solutions, configuring sensor communications previously took hours but now takes just a few minutes. Setting up and operating a real-time monitoring system also said to be easier than before.

The firm’s 4D Control 5.0 introduces support for Worldsensing’s Loadsensing wireless monitoring system. This allows users to connect and configure geotechnical sensors from a variety of manufacturers with hundreds of sensor models. It simplifies the configuration process, delivering real-time data streaming from the geotechnical sensors to the 4D Control software. In addition, the firm says that the Loadsensing long-range and low-power wireless nodes provide an effective connectivity solution for complex monitoring scenarios.

Version 5.0 also includes an updated seismogeodetic data processing module that simplifies the setup when using Trimble’s Kestrel seismogeodetic system. With this new version, the T4D Control is said to make it easy to use the satellite-based RTX corrections capabilities of the Kestrel system. Structural engineers are said to benefit from detailed information where high-quality, real-time seismic data is critical.

    The Leica GMX901plus is said by the Swiss firm to be an “affordable and rugged” GNSS receiver that delivers precise and reliable data about movements of sensitive structures such as mine walls, rock slopes, dams, and buildings. For time-critical applications that require high rate data and a higher accuracy the GMX901plus can be smoothly upgraded to a powerful L1/L2 GPS/GLONASS receiver with an update rate of 5Hz.

    Trimble is now introducing its Earthworks for Dozers package, following on from the Earthworks for Excavators system unveiled last year. The Earthworks Grade Control System for Dozers uses the same inertial motion sensors (IMUs) as the excavator package and mounts its dual GNSS receivers on top of the cab to eliminate masts and cables conventionally located on the blade. The dual GNSS receivers suit steep slope work and complex designs with tight tolerances. The new configuration keeps valuable receivers
