Teledyne, Trimble Expand Marine Construction Technology
Teledyne Construction and Trimble have announced a collaboration to integrate Teledyne’s sensing, imaging and positioning technologies into Trimble’s digital construction workflows, providing greater visibility for construction and marine infrastructure projects.
The announcement was made November 9 during Trimble Dimensions, the company’s annual user conference in Las Vegas, which ran through November 11.
The collaboration is intended to help construction and marine infrastructure professionals improve jobsite visibility, reduce project risks and make more informed decisions by connecting field data with digital planning and documentation systems.
Two technologies included in the collaboration are Teledyne UPAC, a utility pipe and cable detection system designed to locate buried metallic infrastructure, and Teledyne BargeVision, which combines sonar, positioning and machine guidance to provide marine operators with real-time information below the waterline.
When integrated with Trimble Marine Construction and Trimble Siteworks software, the technologies can help marine contractors monitor dredging and material placement, capture underwater and subsurface data, verify completed work and transfer project information between field operations and office teams.
The companies said the integration is intended to reduce guesswork, limit rework and improve safety in construction environments where incomplete information can affect project timelines and costs.
“Our customers need timely, actionable information to make critical decisions every day,” said Ted Germann, vice president of Teledyne Construction. “This agreement brings Teledyne’s advanced sensing portfolio together with proven digital workflows to help teams work more efficiently, improve safety and gain deeper insight into their operations.”
“Customers increasingly expect information to flow seamlessly from the field to the office,” said Kevin Garcia, senior director of Trimble Civil Specialty Solutions. “By expanding our collaboration with Teledyne, we are delivering integrated technologies that improve project outcomes and enhance operational performance.”
Teledyne also provides technology for data center construction and operations, including buried utility mapping, thermal monitoring, perimeter security and early fire detection.
