Trimble GCS900 Grade Control System22/04/2008 |
| Trimble (CA, USA) has introduced its Trimble GCS900 Grade Control System version 10.8, which provides automatic blade control, configurable earthworks progress monitoring and blade guidance software on the machine to enable operators to be more efficient and productive. The latest version of the system can improve contractor productivity by providing operators with better information faster, and by offering more control to machine operators on site. |
|
With version 10.8, the GCS900 has optimized automatic blade control settings for dozers. Trimble has developed specialised interface settings that optimise hydraulic performance on the dozer when the Trimble GCS900 Grade Control System is automatically controlling the dozer blade. This allows the operator to grade complex design surfaces and alignments at faster speeds, without sacrificing grade control accuracy or quality of the final graded surface.
Operators can grade to cut / fill maps representing the total earthworks progress on the job site, generated from the Trimble SiteVision Office Productivity Module. These cut / fill maps are generated from productivity data collected from each machine equipped with Trimble GCS900 and represent the total earthworks progress on the job site. As machines work, the cut / fill maps are updated. The data can be transferred back to the office at the end of a shift, reprocessed and transferred back to the machines at the start of the next shift.
New blade tip guidance options display enhanced real-time guidance information to the operator. The operator can configure custom guidance to multiple road elements from each blade tip, as the machine travels across the design. The Trimble GCS900 Grade Control System version 10.8 is expected to be available in April 2008 through the Trimble worldwide construction distributor network.

3D Scanning of Historic Sugar Factories |
|
The Alliance for Integrated Spatial Technologies at the University of South Florida, USA, recently worked with the Florida Park Service on a project to document the remains of several historic sugar-mill sites in the State Parks to create as-builts to be used in preservation and conservation of these resources. The FARO LS 880, along with GPS and total station georeferencing and colour imaging, was used on these projects.
