Applied Technology
We utilize Global Positioning System (GPS) technology for construction layout and for automated grade controls on company bulldozers and motor graders. Computer Aided Drafting (CAD) software is used to create a grading or earthmoving job of virtually any size. The project is then uploaded to on-board computers, allowing the equipment operators to perform at higher productivity levels by simply following the direction of the computer screen in the cab.
Field layout is nearly eliminated because survey data and control points are entered into the computer by our skilled engineers and technical staff, prior to project startup. This technology allows for more accurate and reliable grade control, nearly instantaneous quantity tracking and higher productivity levels.
