4 Benefits of GPS machine control modeling

How GPS machine control modeling can help you at the construction site

Projects as small as a farmer’s pond to as large as metro light rail can all benefit from GPS models. Below are four important reasons for using GPS models:

1. Complete jobs faster and within budget by working from one model

While working off a one model concept, contractors can put the model in front of everyone on the job site. This means that machine operators can instantly see what they need to do and avoid any costly corrections. Just as important as letting experienced operators see their work, GPS machine control modeling allows new operators the ability to get it right the first time.

2. Access to better tools to manage grading efforts and job production

Making daily progress on a job is critical for forecasting materials and job site capacity. With a GPS model, a site foreman can track the progress of grading efforts and the production levels of machine operators. This ensures that deadlines are met or more importantly if delays are needed.

3. Virtually eliminate errors in the field using reliable data

A good GPS model provider will thoroughly check your plans for errors while they are still in development and not while the machines are running on your job site. Having a model that has considered the plans really can help you in the long run by using reliable data from the start.

4. More precision means less environmental impact in sensitive areas

By clearly delineating on a model which contains environmentally sensitive areas, site operators can easily avoid these areas while maneuvering their equipment for daily operations.
