When you are on a construction site, efficiency matters. Everything from timely completion, to worker safety, to just plain getting the job done right requires organization and communication at every level. This requires a high level of performance at every level, from the individual worker, to their foreman, and from each piece of equipment, to your job site’s management systems. Here at SITECH, we’ve been in the construction industry for years. We provide construction management software in Colorado, New Mexico, and the surrounding areas.
There truly is no limit to the benefits of site positioning and how it can help your job run a lot smoother. Site positioning enables you to map out a location precisely and helps with staking, grade checking, progress measurement, and more. Using sophisticated systems such as portable GNSS receivers, high accuracy total stations, hand-held computers, and powerful software that you can access from your phone in the field or at the office, site positioning allows you to do all of the preliminary site analysis for a site without having to wait for surveyors. Besides saving the time and expense of surveyors, the more data you gather on your job site upfront will save you money and time as well on the backend.
SITECH Rocky Mountain offers the best site positioning systems to help increase performance for your needs. From construction to mining, site positioning systems can help you increase safety, cut down the job time, and trim money from the budget. Now, you can track, report, validate, and control the workflow not only on your site, but on all of your job sites. You’ll be amazed at the time savings when you can measure your own site, verify ground levels, and measure grades and volumes easily. Reach out to us to learn more today!
On the surface, site positioning works similarly to machine control systems, except that machine control systems focus on where your piece of machinery is in space and how to move and grade the dirt if you are in a loader for example. Site positioning systems take a wider approach by surveying the entire site, which can make your machine control systems even more efficient. Recently, many hand-held devices have been released to make this process even simpler, with the integration into tablets and other controllers that will fit in the palm of your hand.
Here, we’d like to go over one of the services we offer: Site Positioning Systems. These are an integral part construction management. Here’s a quick overview of what they are:
Positioning Systems
A positioning system is just a tool for measuring the location of an object spatially. This type of tool can cover a huge array of areas. It is used in interplanetary systems to communicate to spacecraft via radio wave. It’s also used in our Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), such as GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BNS, and IRNSS, which use microwave signals to accurately detect location worldwide. Finally, there are site wide positioning systems, which can pinpoint location accurately down to the centimeter (and sometimes even to the millimeter), after which that data can be recorded and communicated through a software system.
Site Positioning Systems
Site positioning systems work to improve efficiency, productivity, and worker safety on construction job sites. Not only do they utilize the amazing functionality of GNSS and other location measurement technologies, but they integrate it seamlessly into construction management software to maximize a job site’s communication and organization. Anybody who knows the endless stream of tasks that go on in a construction job can appreciate this amazing tool. No matter what your role in the construction job, be it in the office, field, or truck, site positioning systems help plug you in with the rest of your crew to avoid costly and dangerous communication errors. Site positioning systems help with a wide array of construction applications, including:
- Earthworks — The last thing you want when literally moving the earth beneath your feet is to find out you’ve made a mistake halfway through. Get it done right the first time, on time, and safely by tightening up your job site’s communication capabilities with a fully functional site positioning system.
- Roadworks — Today’s paving regulations are getting tighter and tighter, which is a good thing as it helps ensure our safety, but also means more is expected on the job site. Luckily, with a site positioning system, you can meet and exceed those regulations, ensure quality, and avoid wasting expensive materials all with one amazing tool.
- Drilling/Piling — Drilling can be tricky, there is a fine line between ecological and worker safety and productivity that cannot be crossed. Luckily, you don’t have to sacrifice any of these things with the increased productivity, accuracy, and safety provided by site positioning systems.
- Forestry. Being able to plan your cutting operations as well as your planting, growing, and harvesting time can save you lots of time, effort, and energy. Site positioning systems will allow you to plan out a site strategically instead of haphazardly. You’ll be able to know which trees to cut, which ones to leave, which ones are too time-consuming to cut, and then where and when to plant. Forestry solutions will be made simple with SITECH Rocky Mountain’s site positioning systems.
- Oil and Gas. There are many moving pieces to bringing oil and gas to a refinery so that it can be used by the public in many applications, such as gasoline and plastics. Our site positioning systems can handle all aspects of the oil and gas industry, from the upstream phase of seismic exploration to drilling and production. We can even manage your fleet, transmission, and storage operations.
- Construction. Building sports arenas, complexes, and houses is much more than just moving some dirt around. Even in the most remote locations, we can ensure your construction site stays on-point and on-grade.
- Agriculture. Gone are the days of following along behind your cattle and dropping seeds here and there for planting. With site positioning systems, farmers can make precise rows, tighter lines, plant more crops strategically, and get higher yields. Higher yields leads to increased profits, not to mention more food out of every acre. This is good news for all of us who rely on a very small percentage of farmers to supply us with the food we need to survive.
