The job
Utility excavation demands depth accuracy around live services. Traditional practice means repeated manual checks, an exposed worker in the trench and frequent over-dig that must be backfilled and compacted again.
With 3D guidance
- Operator sees bucket position against design depth in real time.
- Trench profile achieved in fewer passes with no manual depth checks.
- As-dug data captured for records and billing.
Results
- 30% shorter programme on the excavation package.
- Over-dig and re-compaction costs largely removed.
- Improved trench safety through fewer people at the face.
