We have extensive experience with all aspects of data preparation for Machine Control. In addition to providing data preparation, we can also process as-built data and calculate volumes.
All starts with construction drawings, which we use for creating a Digital Terrain Model – DTM/Surface. The Prepared surface is uploaded into the control box, where the large display is used to help the operator guide the machine to where it needs to be. The display also shows how much cut or fill is needed to reach the designed surface file.
Next step is to do an as-built of excavated or filled area.
From collected data we create a new surface and compare it with a design. Calculated volumes gives us very accurate daily production information, whether it be amount of excavated or filled material. Updating this data in an Excel spreadsheet allows us to monitor efficiently, keeping good control of the earth moving process.
