Wireless construction helps ensure continuous communication between equipment and personnel throughout a project. It uses electromagnetic signals or radio waves to transmit power or data, eliminating the need for physical cables or wires. Mesh Wi-Fi can meet the need for a mobile connection on a construction site.
When Michael R Maier, Trimble Certified Instructor & Engineer, performed client training with the new WingtraOne GEN II, he didn’t expect to complete a topography survey with such minimal ground controls. Discover more about the latest WingtraOne’s GEN II demonstration and learn how SITECH Southwest can help you take flight.
Labor shortages and supply chain issues have created tension across the construction industry, making it challenging for companies to keep up with demand and stay on schedule. These challenges have impacted overall productivity and revenue, increasing the strain on construction companies. Despite these challenges, emerging technology in the construction industry is helping contractors stay competitive in the changing market.

Technology has transformed the construction industry over the last few decades, bringing modern capabilities to the job site. From remote equipment controls to comprehensive budgeting and designing platforms, there are many different types of construction technologies — and sometimes, they can seem intimidating.
Because technology moves quickly, it can be difficult to tell if your chosen solution is still being developed or if it’s a reliable, well-established solution. Fortunately, SITECH Southwest specializes in integrated construction technology and can help you sort through the noise.
Let’s look more closely at the process for choosing construction technology solutions.
Contractors are always on the lookout for ways to save costs, yet McKinsey tells us that time and cost overruns are the norm in the construction industry. From materials to labor and equipment costs, overruns can occur in many parts of a project. Fortunately, there are ways to prepare and understand your costs from the start. Modern technology offers plenty of efficient tools, like paving control, to help bring accuracy, speed and other benefits to the project.
Loading and moving materials on your construction site requires precision. You need to follow specific payload weight and distribution guidelines based on your equipment and the materials you transport to ensure safe, productive project completion.
The R750 is not only a direct replacement for the SPS85x series of receivers, but also comes with useful upgrades making it a versatile tool. As typical with a new product, out with the old; the SPS855 has been discontinued and is no longer available. The good news is the R750 uses the same antennas and data cables besides offering many new enhancements.
Several methods are available for construction surveying, from photogrammetry to traditional surveying to LiDAR, the latter of which has been increasing in popularity in recent years. Invented in the 1960s, LiDAR has quickly become a prominent technology in many industries, including construction, city planning and scientific research. But what is LiDAR, and how can you use it on your construction site? Read on to find out.
