Precision configured for the project.

Precision configured for the project

Focus supplies 3D GPS, UTS and 2D/Laser machine control solutions using Topcon, Trimble and CAT technology. We match the system to the work, commission the setup and support your team onsite - so operators can work to the design from day one.

GPS machine control on site

GPS

Satellite-guided 3D control for detailed earthworks and accurate trenching, working to the design model without rework.

UTS machine control on site

UTS

Total station tracking for millimetre accuracy in tunnels, under structures and where satellite signal is limited.

2D/Laser machine control on site

2D/Laser

Depth, grade and slope control for trenching, pads and drainage - simple, accurate and quick to set up.

Case studies
Precision grade control underground on North East Link — project photograph from the original case study

North East Link - Cut and Cover Tunnel Section

Precision grade control underground

Precise underground excavation needed grade control without GPS signal in confined conditions. Two reduced-radius Volvo excavators were configured with Trimble UTS control.

North East Link EBTA - Crane and Piling Pads

Compact laser-controlled grading

Crane and piling pads needed precise levels in a work zone too tight for a grader. A laser-controlled compact track loader did the trimming.

Eastern Freeway - Bourke to Tram (EBTA)

Precision payload management

No space for a weighbridge on a constrained live site, with overloaded trucks the risk. Onboard weighing and 3D GPS came fitted to two excavators.
