100-year old concrete and civil construction contractor drives productivity on every job by performing stakeout and site measurements without surveyors, using 3D models and leveraging machine control on dozers and curb and gutter machines

Beijing’s Daxing Airport was designed in collaboration with the late Dame Zaha Fahid, who was widely known as architecture’s “Queen of Curves”. When it opens in 2019, this beautiful and very busy airport will reside on solid ground--its flat, compact and reliable base prepared with the help of Trimble dynamic compaction technology.

Utah-based excavation contractor uses Trimble’s new machine control platform to maximize excavation productivity and grade accuracy, reducing concrete overages and saving time and money

Contractor completes Georgetown Municipal Airport resurfacing project with minimal staking or grade checking - saving $6,000 in staking and materials costs- with Trimble 3D paving system.

Premier contractor cuts costs and can take on more utility, trenching and fine grading jobs by eliminating the need for ground man to set grade rods and move lasers during excavation

ÅF has the main contract with Trafikverket (the Swedish Transport Administration) and Kreera is their subcontractor in the Maland project (outside the town of Sundsvall). Trafikverket plans to build a new double-track railway connection between the Tunadal track and the Ådal railway line, plus modernizing the Tunadal track.

The Swedish contractor NCC is about to complete 8.5 kilometres of dual-track railway, a three kilometres long rock tunnel, and nine bridges on behalf of Trafikverket, the Swedish Transport Administration. The engineering company ÅF in Jönköping has designed the project model in Trimble´s Novapoint and Quadri BIM tools as a building basis for the actual construction.

When doing a major multi-stakeholder project, there are many things that need to go right time and time again so that work is progressing smoothly. The fundamental improvement of Highway 6's Taavetti-Lappeenranta stretch (the TaaLa project) is a good example of this.

The BIM tools contribute to a significant reduction in both engineering time and production costs, whilst increasing the quality, believes engineers Martin Karlsson and Alexander Svensson who both work with road construction design at Norconsult Sweden.

“The ability to combine time and place in a single graphical time/distance chart introduces a new dimension in the planning”, explains senior planner Vilhelm Darius Nilsen at Norconsult. “As a result, you can explore alternatives very quickly and can make decisions much earlier in the process, providing an extraordinary insight into the project feasibility early on. This is of great value.”
