Leave UHF Radios in the Last Decade, Start 2020 Off Right With MiRTK

If you’ve worked on a construction site with base stations in the past 20 years there’s a solid chance you’ve worked with UHF radios as well. UHF radios have been a staple for site communications and GNSS corrections across Australia for years, but that hasn’t made them immune to issues. Whether it’s dropouts, configurations or radio interference, UHF radios have a history of being difficult to set up, difficult to operate and difficult to keep running for long periods of time. Yet despite all the issues that plague UHF radios they’re consistently found on construction projects from Sydney to Port Augusta. The main reason why? Nothing was invented to replace them. Everyone in the industry simply accepted that

3D grade control systems required by Singapore LTA

Contractors must deploy 3D grade control systems for excavators and soil compactors according to specifications from the Singapore Land and Transport Authority (LTA). The specifications call for systems that can be controlled by GPS or total stations for accurate site levelling. Topcon 3D grade control for earthworks Topcon machine control solutions deliver precise 3D positioning and automatically guide the operator to grade. Using a combination of sensors fitted to the machine, GPS or total station technology and a real-time display monitor in the cabin, the technology gives operators live height, depth and slope information relative to the 3D design of the project. Topcon grade control systems are available in Asia in countries including Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines and
