3D Data Modeling
Maximize the productivity of your machines with expertly built and field-ready 3D models tailored to your site and equipment.
Give Your Iron a Higher IQ
Even the most advanced dozer or excavator is only as effective as the data guiding it. If your digital models are inaccurate, your operators are digging in the dark. 3D machine control data modeling bridges the gap between design plans and field execution.
SITECH Intermountain understands that data preparation is often the bottleneck in modern earthworks. A poor model leads to blade chatter, over-cutting and expensive rework. We offer professional earthworks data preparation services to eliminate that risk. Our team turns your 2D engineering plans into precise, drive-ready 3D models so your fleet can operate at maximum efficiency from the first cut to the final grade.
The Modeling Process
Our data services team acts as the bridge between your civil engineers and your operators, handling the complex translation of data so you can focus on moving dirt. This three-step process involves:
Survey and design review: Our engineers digest the CAD files or paper plans to create a constructible 3D digital model. This includes identifying conflicts before they become expensive problems in the field.
Format conversion: We convert data into formats compatible with all major machine control systems including Trimble, Topcon and Leica. Whether you are running a single brand or a mixed ecosystem, we make sure your files load correctly.
Upload and calibration: We help upload the model to the equipment and calibrate the machine to the project’s coordinate system. This last-mile service means the machine knows exactly where it is on the earth’s surface relative to the design.
Automated Machine Guidance Components
3D machine control data modeling relies on a synergy between sophisticated hardware and precise software.
The Technology
Our models’ power systems use global navigation satellite system (GNSS) signals and rugged onboard sensors to track the precise 3D position of a blade or bucket in real time.
The Function
The 3D data model is uploaded to an in-cab control box. This display allows the onboard computer to compare the machine’s current position against the target design elevation. In fully automated modes, the system controls the hydraulics to maintain grade.
The Applications
Our data preparation services support a wide range of applications. These include:
Complex road construction
Commercial site development
Mass excavation
Mining operations
Advantages of Professional Data Preparation
Outsource your automated machine guidance data prep to SITECH Intermountain because precision pays:
Accurate models let operators confidently grade faster while drastically reducing fuel consumption and machine wear by moving it once.
Machine control modeling virtually eliminates the need for traditional grade stakes, reducing survey costs and time spent waiting for restaking after a pass.
Jobsites are safer by removing the need for grade checkers to stand in the trenches or near moving machinery.
