North Coast Engineering Ventures into Machine Control Modeling

As with all things in today’s society, each year technology brings higher levels of automation into every aspect of life. Construction is no different. Over the past ten or so years, GPS machine control has become increasingly more integrated into the construction process, allowing construction companies to grade entire subdivisions to rough grade tolerances without the need for high levels of construction staking. Just as aerial photogrammetry eliminated the need for huge survey crews collecting 1,000s of acres of topo data, gone are days of planting a forest of lath, only to get wiped out by earth movers every other day.

Machine control is here to stay, and North Coast Engineering sees a huge benefit in being able to offer this service  in house. We feel that our background and experience in the construction industry gives us an advantage. Being able to build the models in house gives us the ability to quality control and check these through both the Civil Engineering and Surveying departments. We can respond to any revisions or questions about  the model or plans with the same level of care and urgency that our clients have come to expect from us which is required to keep a construction project on schedule and moving forward.
