"This project had another first for us," Egerickx noted. "We did no staking
for earthworks. Our [sub]contractor, Aertssen, used machine control for
the earthworks and Trimble equipment, which mainly uses GNSS. Around
buildings where there's not much sky, the small excavators are controlled
by total stations. In past projects, when there were small earthworks or
rework during construction, we would set stakes, but now Aertssen only
wants a digital model. Everything happens so much faster."

THE DIGITAL ENVIRONMENT
A goal for BAM Contactors, says Balens and Egerickx is to
achieve a complete digital environment for their projects.
The adoption of the SX10 provides a key link in this desired
workflow, complimented by Trimble solutions already in use:
"We started with GNSS survey control using the Belgian VRS
network," Egerickx said. We used to set up a base, but now
we just use the network. It's great. We even use it on machine
control. We also do traverses and digital level loops with our
Trimble total stations and DiNi levels."
Hardware and software modernization doesn't always yield
immediate benefits for enterprises, and sometimes taking a
particularly big technological leap or risk comes at a premium
in time and labor. But sometimes everything goes smoothly–
as did this adoption of the SX10 in mid-project.
