LAS VEGAS, March 7, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Trimble
(NASDAQ: TRMB) and Teledyne Marine announced today that Trimble
will distribute a branded version of Teledyne's PDS software
package for hydrographic survey, construction and dredging
operations—Trimble® Marine Construction Software. The
software provides accurate measurement and positioning to improve
marine construction efficiency and safety.
Trimble Marine Construction Software expands Trimble's portfolio
and extends its connected approach for marine construction
companies to enable accurate and robust real-time 3D visualization
applications. The software combined with 2D and 3D sonar provides
underwater vision in the most challenging inshore underwater
environments and conditions.
The announcement was made at ConExpo 2017, one of the world's
largest international exhibitions for the construction
industry.
Construction applications for Trimble Marine Construction
Software include dredging, cable lay applications, monopile
placements, building breakwaters, windmill parks, pipe lay
monitoring, rock dumping, excavating, barge management and more.
Dredge applications for the software support hydraulic
excavators, wire cranes, bucket dredgers, underwater ploughs,
trailing suction hopper dredgers (TSHD) and cutter suction
dredgers. The software provides real-time visualization of the
dredge head or excavator bucket essential for precise operations to
avoid over-dredge or rework. With Trimble Marine Construction
Software, the operator can see the actual versus planned surface in
3D, profile and long-section views. It guides the operator to the
desired surface and determines the cut or fill to provide a
market-leading dredging solution.
Hydrographic applications for the software include measuring the
seafloor or riverbeds for hazardous areas, dredge progress
tracking, revetment surveys, maintenance surveys and safe
navigation.
The software provides real-time sensor data gathering,
computation, display and logs. The data can be displayed either
graphically or alphanumerically. It has options to verify the data,
remove anomalies and outliers, either manually or automatically.
The clean data can be presented in the form of models, tables,
files, volumes, nautical charts or reports.
"Trimble's leading machine positioning technologies combined
with Teledyne's leadership in subsurface sensing and marine
software provide an innovative and ideal solution for marine
construction contractors," said Scott
Crozier, marketing director of Trimble's Civil Engineering
and Construction Division. "Trimble Marine Construction Software
extends our solutions to include real-time 3D visualization of the
dredge head or bucket with support for scanning sonars to provide
the actual as-built surface for more efficient operations."
"Trimble Marine Construction Software is leveraging more than 30
years of Teledyne's global software expertise for both inshore and
offshore construction," said William
Egan, vice president of Global Imaging Sales & Marketing
–Teledyne Marine. "Teledyne Marine is proud to partner with Trimble
to provide the robustness Trimble's customers expect in addition to
enabling them to integrate the world's most advanced acoustic
sonars into their overall solution. Trimble's global distribution
network can accelerate implementation of this technology
worldwide."
Availability
The Trimble Marine Construction Software is expected to be
available in the second quarter of 2017 through Trimble's Marine
Construction Dealer Channel.
