Earthworks
Our fleet of intelligent earthworks equipment is unmatched on programme times.
Our GPS controlled fleet completes bulk earthworks faster and at lower costs than our competitors.
Simply put, Intelligent Machine Control is a GPS technology designed to make our projects more productive on site. The Intelligent Machine Control provides a formula for unmatched productivity improvement, better precision and unrivalled safety benefits.
We were the first firm in the UK to use it, and our performance is unrivalled within the industry. The machine receives a GNSS signal from multiple satellites via localization.
It’s then converted to a known coordinate and compared against a supplied 3D model of the project. This allows the machine to determine the cut/fill value and through the hydraulic control it can guide the blade/bucket to the required level.
The operator can also lift or lower the whole design by a fixed amount and even create on-the-fly designs if required.
Caerphilly project
Our recent project at Caerphilly, Wales saw our Earthworks package put to work.
Our Equipment
Komatsu PC210LCi-11
The PC210 is the first excavator in the UK to benefit from Komatsu’s Intelligent Machine
Control which controls every exercise according to models laid on a GPS grid. This process sees highly precise operations executed at enormous speed.
Komatsu D65 PXi
By combining the large D65 unit with Komatsu’s Intelligent Machine Control we maximise productivity. Clients are often amazed at how quickly the technology executes processes including site scrapes and final finishes.
