As technology advances at a rapid rate of change, construction projects are embracing new developments. New developments in construction technologies allow sites to become more efficient, both in terms of costs & energy, while improving the safety of all personnel within the industry.

Using the latest technological developments & cutting-edge innovation in construction surveying equipment, Machine Control & Guidance systems are being embraced across the industry.Machine Control solutions can be used across a wide variety of construction machinery, including excavators & dozers.

In a recent study of such technology, Caterpillar Construction found a cost saving aligned with increased production efficiency of up to 30% when using machine control solutions, compared to machinery without such technology.

These systems use terrain models & surface files to aid operators of heavy machinery to excavate, reinstate & trim sites to correct level, grade & contour.

As a Geospatial Specialist, McDonald Surveys can collect raw data, create surface models & manage all geospatial requirements across a project, reducing the risk of any issues arising with on site production & down time.
