Trimble announced on Tuesday the Trimble Site Positioning System that is designed to provide contractors with a state-of-the-art construction positioning solution. The system includes a new total station, two new Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers and construction-centric software for heavy and highway construction applications.

The Site Positioning System is designed to provide the contractor with the tools for tracking, reporting, validating and controlling workflow from the receipt of initial designs to the completion of as-built measurements on a jobsite. Specifically, the system is engineered to deliver day-to-day functionality such as on-site surface modeling, volume computations, rapid site measurement from vehicles and trucks, real-time stakeout with cut and fill checks anywhere on the jobsite and the ability to validate, check and distribute data to machines on the jobsite.
