How does machine control work?
Since the mid-1990s, GPS data and sensors have been used to control earth moving machinery to determine geographic coordinates and assess grade. Sensors are mounted on bulldozers and excavators to record grade breaks, elevations, and slopes as the machine moves along, and that data is used by the computer to make sure the next pass is executed accurately in terms of depth and trajectory.
Strathmar uses Komatsu equipment with Intelligent Machine Control, which allows a dozer to learn the existing terrain, mapping the ground with each pass and spreading materials in layers. From quick surface creation to compaction to finish grading, machine control delivers efficiency to your job site.
Strathmar has also invested in laser-guided systems, allowing us to do precision grading where GPS can't go, such as indoor riding rings, industrial buildings and sports arenas.
Complete land grading plans created in-house and delivered in the field
Strathmar is a one-stop shop for precision grading services. After initial survey and mapping, our in-house team can create a grading plan and machine control files. The files are then loaded into the equipment allowing the operator to start work right away without the need of extra field staff.
