GPS Top Con is now a common feature across most large civil construction projects throughout Australia. As a result, our machines have been fully utilising GPS top control for many years. Used widely across a huge array of machines, from scrapers to graders, excavators, wheel loaders and everything in between, GPS top is a flexible and accurate solution that enables all plant across the site to get to grade as quickly as possible with minimal wasted material.
Essentially, a 3D model of the job site is created. This contains the required grades and locations.
By accessing an array of Global Positioning Satellites to provide accurate positioning information to a machine’s blade, the machine will automatically work to deliver the required level. In addition, the machine’s operator receives live positioning information as the work progresses.
