Getting into 3D machine control doesn't have to cost the earth
from Construction and Earthworks Podcast · host ContentForIndustry.com
In this edition of the #CWMRespect Podcast series, Peter Haddock of Content With Media talks about the most cost-effective way to embrace 3D machine control, making sure you are able to get on Highways England jobs and win HS2 work in the future, now that the technology is mandated. Peter's first stop is to talk to Leica Geosystems product specialist, Steve Claybrook, who has also used its products as a surveyor/engineer in a previous role. In this part of the interview, Peter demystifies the technology, whilst exploring how it can be retrofitted to older machines. With retrofitting and the technology explained, Peter moves onto talk to Rupert Craven, Sales Director of Ritchie Bros auctioneers about all the different ways in which you can find and buy used equipment like excavators and dozers, that can then be retrofitted with 3D machine control.
