TRIMBLE®
PRECISION & PROFITABILITY
A grade control technology platform that is a strategic imperative to de-risk operations, enhance profitability, and secure a long-term social license to operate.
WHY TRIMBLE® IS ESSENTIAL
ELIMINATE REWORK & BOOST PRODUCTIVITY
Achieve centimetre-level accuracy to get the job right the first time. This eliminates costly rework, saving fuel, maintenance hours, and skilled operator time, with documented productivity gains of up to 34%.
ENHANCE SAFETY & ASSET LONGEVITY
Build safer, more stable, and properly engineered haul roads. This mitigates vehicle incidents and reduces wear on high-value assets like haul truck tyres, which can cost upwards of R750,000 per unit.
GUARANTEE ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE
Ensure the final landform precisely matches the approved rehabilitation design. This provides a verifiable, as-built digital record to de-risk the closure certificate process and secure the return of multi-million Rand financial provisions.
HOW TRIMBLE® EARTHWORKS WORKS
PRECISION GRADE CONTROL TECHNOLOGY
GNSS POSITIONING SYSTEM
Advanced Global Navigation Satellite System provides real-time positioning with centimetre-level accuracy. Integrated with machine control systems for automatic blade adjustments and optimal cut/fill operations.
3D DESIGN INTEGRATION
Seamlessly import and display 3D design models directly in the cab. Operators see exactly where to cut and fill in real-time, eliminating guesswork and ensuring precise execution of engineering designs.
AUTOMATED MACHINE CONTROL
Intelligent automation takes control of blade movements, maintaining optimal cutting angles and depths. Reduces operator fatigue while ensuring consistent, precise results across all shifts and skill levels.
