Steps to achieve improved piling and building site preparations
Resect Engineering Ltd., a UK based site engineering and surveying service provider, show how they improved efficiency and accuracy of piling and groundwork tasks by using the Leica iCON iCR70 with Leica iCON build software.
Prepare with digital plans
As an earthworks contractor, why should you be bound by inflexible paper plans and manual calculations that slow construction site preparation? The Leica iCON Sketching app lets you digitalise plans quickly, create points, lines, arcs, prepare piling positions and more, and adapt the data to real site conditions. Be ready for layout and excavation faster, with design accuracy that results in less rework.
Digital tools streamline layout
The Leica iCON build Layout Points and Lines app delivers the data you need to finish earthworks and site prep layout tasks quickly and accurately. Navigate to points in map view with guidance that identifies the next nearest point. Mark areas like footings, pits, and foundations for excavation, easily set upward and outward offsets, ensure correct pit heights and more. Altogether, this means quicker calculations, adaptations, layout and checks, saving you time and eliminating costly rework.
Define and dig with confidence
When digging piling, accurate calculations paired with visuals and guidance help ensure you get it right the first time. The iCON build Slopes app enables you to define grades for excavations with simple slope definitions in percentage or degree ratio, install slope indicators on embankments, indicate inclination for foundation piling and more. You also benefit from visuals with top and cross-section views and easy navigation to correct elevation and position in sloped terrain.
Are you looking for a simple solution to increase the efficiency of your earthmoving machines? With the Leica iCON site excavator app, you have the flexibility to measure an area, create a design, and directly dig according to that design – all with the same field controller in the excavator cab. By using the iCON excavator site solution, achieve independence from surveyors and their busy schedules.
On-site calculations, comparisons, checks and reporting
Speed up reporting and billing with iCON build apps that make volume calculations, surface comparisons, and as-built checks easy and flexible, directly in the field. Calculate volumes independent of size and shape and apply the compaction factor for your material. Check ground levels anywhere on the design surface, balance cut and fill for optimised machine and material use and customise reports on-site.
