BK Civil Group has over 90% of its earth moving fleet fitted with GPS machine guidance. The use of this technology in everyday mining & civil operations adds value by providing operators, management, and customers with real-time data on a project. BK Civil believes in the importance of this technology because it assists with quality and efficiency outputs.
We have either Trimble or Topcon guidance systems fitted to our Graders, Dozers, Excavators and Compactors. Colin is our in-house GPS technician and has been working in the machine guidance & surveying field for the past eight years. He is responsible for managing day to day servicing, maintenance, breakdowns, repairs, hiring and stocktaking of all GPS, UTS/LPS units.
When asked about accessing GPS units remotely, Colin explained “Our Topcon units can be accessed remotely. This is great because I can offer screen advice, assistance and troubleshoot from anywhere. The system allows me to upload new project files without having to get to the actual site. This means I can be across a number of different sites at the same time, reducing downtime of machines and increasing productivity”.
Colin is also involved in site setups, surveying, modelling, and volume calculations across various projects, providing management with up to date cut and fill volume reports. This has proven to be invaluable on projects that have short time restraints.
