SITECH Mid-Atlantic hosted a machine control event for Trimble Earthworks on March 20 to 21 at the Caterpillar Customer & Training Center in Clayton, N.C. SITECH Mid-Atlantic, Gregory Poole and Trimble showcased the features of Earthworks on Caterpillar dozers, excavators and compact track loaders. A hearty barbeque lunch was provided and door prizes were given away along with valuable training and demonstrations of the new Trimble technology.

Eighty percent of construction jobs run into overtime. That's why the new Trimble Earthworks Grade Control Platform is designed to help operators do more in less time. Teams using Trimble Earthworks can exceed productivity expectations across jobs of all types.

Running on time versus out of time, the proven performer for excavators is now rolling out for dozers. The Trimble Earthworks Grade Control Platform offers dozer operators cab-mounted portability, a user-friendly Android UI, and the convenience of a 10-in. touch screen. It helps new and veteran operators do things right the first time, and in less time.

Trimble GPS Systems

Trimble GPS Site Positioning Systems are designed to provide contractors with construction positioning solutions. Trimble SPS provides the non-surveyor the ability to quickly resolve problems on site and the flexibility to complete any task. Contractors can track, report, validate and control workflows from receipt of initial designs to project completion.

Central to the system is the positioning sensor hardware. Operators can use either GPS or total stations. These can be combined with Trimble Site Controller Software developed specifically for construction applications. Trimble Site Positioning Systems simplify operations, increase efficiency in the field and minimize downtime at every stage of the project. Trimble GPS Systems work for site preparation, heavy/highway, mining, landfill and waste disposal.

SITECH Mid-Atlantic provides North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia with the construction technology products, services, training and support needed to successfully automate construction and agriculture processes while helping meet the demanding production requirements of a highly competitive marketplace. The Trimble construction technology products and services allow users to finish more jobs in less time, while lowering costs and improving accuracy. This all adds up to more revenue for businesses.
