вЂњMany of our engineers go out to survey and check volumes on a daily basis,вЂќ said Potts.

The company can also give accurate reports on the progress of earthworks on a particular job site, which allows for better cost forecasting and faster payment.

Using Business Center-HCE, they provide full visual reports, including cross section drawings, on the existing and proposed ground contours. For instance, the engineering team can now survey a site and calculate the most cost effective way of carrying out the earthworks operations. The company offers engineering reporting service to its customers relying on Trimble TSC3 Field Controller and Trimble Connected Community to sync the data from the field to the office. Potts explains that the site positing systems have significantly changed the way JC Balls & Sons runs its business. It essentially broadcasts Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) corrections from the base station over the Internet. Potts explains that the system has been extremely useful on smaller project sites because it provides highly accurate GNSS for site positioning and machine control at a low cost. For smaller project sites they use the Trimble Internet Base Station Service (IBSS). Two Trimble SPS855s were acquired to be used as base stations to provide GNSS corrections on site. For data prep and building 3D models, JC Balls & Sons selected Business Center-HCE from Trimble. The team adopted the Trimble GCS900 3D Grade Control System for two dozers and three excavators. вЂњI had experience with Trimble from another organization, so when it came time to get everyone on board, I knew the benefits would be significant and it would change our business.вЂќ вЂњWe started looking to GPS as a way to gain a competitive edge,вЂќ said Dane Potts, contract manager for JC Balls & Sons. Several years ago, JC Balls & Sons began looking to expand its contracting business and find ways to take on bigger earthworks contracts, such as installing drainage systems, concrete work, and earthworks for civil engineering and general construction projects. The company also offers contracting, engineering, survey and recycling services. Today, JC Balls & Sons employs more than 100 people and operates a fleet of more than 30 machines and 50 trucks. When James Christopher Balls started his business more than 60 years ago with a single JCB3 loader, he probably never imagined his company would grow into one of the most successful rental fleet and contracting companies in the East Midlands, England. Faster payouts - accurate volume reports from Business Center-HCE shows the progress of dirt moved.

Contract manager can spend more time in the office working on bids and winning new business.Less time spent traveling to and from project sites managers and site engineers can survey and sync design and data from the field.

25% less rework needed for bulk to finished earthworks - less machine run time and diesel used.Reducing work for grade checkers saves ВЈ1000 (GBP) a week on projects - money that can be used to create new jobs and grow the business.

The company also has a large fleet of heavy machinery for rent as well as a concrete plant. Founded in 1963 by James Christopher Balls, JC Balls & Sons specializes in earthmoving and bulk excavations in the East Midlands, England.
