3D machine control
Control Plant Machinery
“The future” is a term we hear all the time in this field of work! As much as it carries some truth it is actually “The present”.
Machine control systems have been around for years now and Tri-Tech have been utilising these systems from the very start. We realised the benefits of these systems early on when working with earthworks contractors such CA Blackwells, Priors and not to mention Slipform Paving systems on Airports such as Heathrow, Gatwick and Stansted.
With our ability to take a design in either 2D or 3D and turn that into a 3D model that can be installed on a piece of earthmoving equipment it was a natural progression for us from the setting out data that we have always produced.
We have a close working relationship with all the major manufacturers of machine control such as Trimble, Topcon, and Leica.
We are able to offer the following services;
- Base Station Hire
- Site Calibration – it pays to get people such as us who understand coordinate systems to do this! Get it wrong and your whole site is wrong
- Model creation from design data be that 3D or 2D formats
- UTS systems – Hire and Setup – for schemes that require the most accurate results
- Laser Systems – Hire of Dual Grade lasers and the setup and checking of machines
If you require any machine control services, contact us today to discuss your requirements.
What is 3D Machine Control?
3D machine control is a technology used in construction, mining, and other heavy equipment operations that enables operators to accurately control the position, orientation, and movement of the equipment based on 3D design data. This
What we do
our services
Land and Engineering Surveyors
measured building surveys
From an Industrial Unit through to a Historic House to a Semi Detached House, Tri-Tech can provide a measured building survey for all.
river surveys
setting out & site engineering
Bread and butter work for us! Having a strong relationship with many civil engineering companies we have a very strong team of Site Engineers and Engineering Surveyors working for us.
control network installation
At Tri-Tech we have vast experience in this field. Be it a large highway scheme or a private property we can advise on what accuracies are required from your control network depending on what work you are carrying out and the tolerances you are carrying this work out to.
uav mapping & aerial surveys
Large areas of ground can be covered capturing the most unbelievable detail which would just be unable to be recorded with traditional methods. Our clients have really seen the benefit of what UAV surveys bring to the table.
survey equipment hire
Being a leader in the Surveying and Engineering sector we have a fleet of modern survey equipment at our disposal which is second to none. We carry the latest GNSS Base Stations, GNSS Rovers, Robotic Total Stations, Laser Scanners, Digital Levels, and Dual Grade Lasers.
3d machine control
Machine control systems have been around for years now and Tri-tech have been utilising these systems from the very start. We realised the benefits of these systems early on when working with earthworks contractors.
volumetric analysis
We specialise in the analysis of a scheme’s volumetrics at any point in time. Be it Tender, Prestart, Monthly, Weekly, or Final.
laser scanning
For mass collection of accurate survey data then nothing beats scanning. Using 3D laser Scanners the surveyors can capture millions of points per second with the creation of a PointCloud.
utility mapping
Using the latest equipment, we can provide the location of underground services in either 2D or 3D. We use state of the art Ground Penetrating Radar and Electromagnetic Location to assist your project when service avoidance may be a potential issue on site.
monitoring
Is there any movement? That is the question that is asked before and during any monitoring scheme. That is the reason we undertake monitoring, to check for movement.
topographical surveys
Tri-Tech work for a variety of different clients on different projects, and we pride ourselves on delivering accurate, efficient, cost effective surveys ensuring our clients receive the best possible product.
