Machine Control Model, Bowland Fold
Client: ND Civils
Location: Lancaster
At Brookes Geospatial, we understand the critical role that technology plays in modern construction and site management. Recently, we had the opportunity to create a 3D machine control model for a site near Lancaster, further demonstrating our commitment to leveraging advanced tools to improve site efficiency and accuracy.
The Importance of 3D Machine Control Models
Machine control models are revolutionising the way construction sites operate, particularly in terms of efficiency and precision. These models are created based on detailed design specifications and, when combined with GPS technology, enable machinery to operate with centimetre-level accuracy across the site. This reduces the risk of human error and eliminates the need for traditional profile boards.
Project Overview
Our task was to develop a 3D machine control model for the site near Lancaster. The main objectives were to:
Improve overall site efficiency by integrating advanced machine control technology.
Ensure the site is developed according to design specifications with centimetre-level accuracy using GPS.
Provide the site team with a tool that simplifies operations and reduces the likelihood of human error.
Benefits of Machine Control Technology
Improved Efficiency: The 3D machine control model allows for streamlined operations on-site. With the model integrated into the machinery, tasks can be completed faster and with greater accuracy, reducing the time spent on rework and manual checks.
Eliminating Profile Boards: One of the significant advantages of using machine control technology is the elimination of traditional profile boards. This not only saves time but also reduces the potential for errors during setup and execution.
Centimetre-Level Accuracy with GPS: The GPS technology integrated into the machine control model ensures that the machinery operates with centimetre-level accuracy. This precision is essential for executing the design exactly as planned, minimising costly errors and rework.
Simplifying Site Operations: The machine control model simplifies tasks for the site team by providing clear, accurate guidance directly to the machinery. This reduces the reliance on manual measurements and checks, allowing the team to focus on higher-value tasks.
Delivering Results
The 3D machine control model we developed for the Lancaster site is now a vital tool in the site's operations. By integrating advanced GPS technology, we’ve ensured that the site team can work more efficiently and with greater accuracy, ultimately leading to a smoother and more successful project.
Conclusion
The successful creation and implementation of the 3D machine control model for the Lancaster site highlight Brookes Geospatials expertise in using cutting-edge technology to enhance construction site efficiency and accuracy. By eliminating traditional methods prone to human error and incorporating advanced GPS, we’ve provided a solution that will significantly benefit the site team.
