Seven contractors recognized for use of
Trimble technology for architecture, engineering and construction
workflows, processes and projects
LAS
VEGAS, Nov. 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/
-- Trimble® (Nasdaq: TRMB) today announced winners
of the annual Trimble Construction Innovation Awards, recognizing
exceptional use of Trimble technology on workflows, processes and
projects by North American customers.
Six award categories allowed applicants to highlight any and all
types of Trimble construction technology used throughout their
operations — from design, 3D modeling, estimating and financial
management, to scanning, surveying, machine control and
construction management. Seven winners were chosen, with a tie in
one category. The announcement was made at the annual Trimble
Dimensions User Conference.
"Sizes, specialities and challenges vary widely among this
year's Construction Innovation Award winners, but a common theme is
how their confident, proactive investment in technology elevated
performance, efficiency, collaboration and data-driven decision
making," explained Pete Large,
senior vice president of strategy at Trimble. "It's especially
impressive to see how the winners have combined Trimble solutions
and their own strategic and creative initiatives to connect people,
workflows and the physical and digital aspects of
construction."
The 2024 Trimble Construction Innovation Award Winners
are:
Connected Construction Award: Bituminous Roadways,
Mendota Heights, Minnesota
Bituminous Roadways, a paving and heavy construction specialist,
adopted and connected a wide range of Trimble systems. The lineup
includes surveying, positioning, machine control and drone
technology as well as the Trimble Viewpoint®
Spectrum® construction ERP software and the full
B2W® suite for estimating, performance tracking,
scheduling and equipment maintenance. Data now moves seamlessly
between many of these Trimble systems, allowing the company to
collaborate more effectively across departments, eliminating
redundant data entry, achieving time and labor savings and
improving quality.
Process Transformation Award: Myco Mechanical,
Telford, Pennsylvania
Myco Mechanical, an HVAC and plumbing company, utilizes
integrated software solutions including Trimble SysQue®,
Trimble Connect®, Connect2Fab and
ProjectSight® to eliminate inefficiencies in workflows
from the office to the field. Through a strategically planned and
skillfully-executed ProjectSight implementation, the company has
been able to drastically increase its workload while using less
resources. ProjectSight replaced multiple, disparate systems for
document sharing and collaboration, allowing Myco to eliminate
communication and connectivity frustrations among team members.
Data-Driven Decision Making Award: Hensel Phelps, Greeley, Colorado
Hensel Phelps, a global general
contracting and construction company, relies on Trimble Connect,
Revit®, Navisworks® and SysQue to connect
data, making it more transparent and accessible for key project
stakeholders. Trimble technology allows the company to track
metrics for pipe work, including detailing, spooling, installation
and testing and to track parts as they move through the
ordering-to-testing lifecycle. Hensel
Phelps also integrates data from Trimble Connect into Hilti
Ontrack to track material locations and onsite maintenance
schedules.
Most Challenging Project Award: DPR Construction,
Redwood City, California
DPR Construction self-performs and serves as general contractor for
projects globally. Data-rich construction models from
Tekla® Structures and collaboration in a common data
environment were essential for completing the concrete portion of
the most challenging concrete project in its history — a 74-story
building in Austin, Texas — safely
and ahead of schedule. DPR used modeling software to adjust and
align designs in the bidding processes to expedite the start of
construction. Trimble Connect gave all trades access to up-to-date
models to visualize, coordinate and resolve conflicts. Planning
concrete pours and modeling formwork with Tekla Structures drove
further efficiencies.
Workforce Achievement Award: Canam Group, Saint-Georges, Quebec, Canada
Canam Group designs and manufactures steel components worldwide,
with a focus on buildings, structural steel and bridges. The
company integrated Trimble Connect technology into its operations
to help employees be more successful and productive and,
ultimately, to aid in recruitment and retention. Workstations on
shop floors now give employees easier access to accurate
fabrication drawings and assemblies through Trimble Connect.
Productivity has improved, and employees have more trust in their
work with the guarantee that it will fit onsite. Safety has also
improved due to a reduction in the need to move steel assemblies in
the plants.
Changemaker Award: Elder Corporation, Pleasant Hill, Iowa
Elder Corporation GPS Manager, Shawn
Swygman, consistently researches Trimble technology, looking
for opportunities to create efficiencies and reduce costs for the
Iowa-based earthmoving company.
Swygman, a former Trimble dealer salesperson and repair technician,
has been instrumental in the adoption of WorksManager and a wide
range of Trimble surveying and machine control technologies that
have increased productivity and cut costs.
Changemaker Award: Lafarge, various locations across
Canada
A member of the Holcim Group, Lafarge is Canada's largest provider of building
solutions, including aggregates, cement, concrete and asphalt.
Rory Prendergast, machine control
superintendent for Lafarge, has helped the company adopt and
creatively configure Trimble Business Center, SketchUp®,
WorksManager and machine control technologies. His efforts have
automated and radically improved communication of design and
production data between the office and machines and operators in
the field.
Runners up: Trimble also recognized seven additional
companies as runners up in this year's awards program. They include
ASN Constructors, Crete United, Caltrans, Saunders, Sol Design +
Consulting, SPC Mechanical and Oklahoma Department of
Transportation.
All companies using Trimble technology for architecture,
engineering and construction projects in North America were eligible to submit
applications for the Construction Innovation Awards. Winners were
selected by a panel of Trimble judges.
