The adoption of automated machine guidance technology is occurring rapidly in the heavy construction industry. The main roadblock that contractors face in using machine control systems is obtaining high-quality, 3d surfaces for use in earthmoving equipment.

CTC is here to help. We are leading the way by offering:

• Data preperation services for automated machine guidance
• Software training
• Consulting
• Technical support
  
  
  

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is an integrated process built on coordinated, reliable information about a project from design through construction and into operations. By adopting BIM practices, Heavy Construction (earthmoving) contractors can join architects, engineers, and owners in reliably delivering projects faster, more economically, and with reduced environmental impact.

The trend today towards Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) has opened the door to direct access of electronic 3D design models in the preparation of high quality surface models for Automated Machine Guidance (AMG).

Leveraging the same industry leading solution (AutoCAD® Civil 3D®) used by Civil design professionals in Land Development, Transportation, and Environmental applications greatly simplifies Data-prep workflows. As an early advocate for BIM, CAD Technology Center (CTC) is well prepared to help earthmoving contractors transition from 2D to the 3D world.
