Piling Control

Machine control, when used in ground engineering, is almost exclusively 3D, where a digital terrain map is loaded into the cab of the drilling or piling rig. This DTM contains all of the information relating to pile position including X and Y, and in some cases Z for elevation. The system uses GNSS positioning equipment to ensure centimetre accuracies can be achieved. In addition to the GNSS sensing technology, Prolec's AS8 sensors can be mounted on the mast of the rig to provide an accurate measurement of pitch & roll, which is equivalent to the verticality or slope of the pile or bore hole. Measuring the verticality allows extremely tight vertical and slope tolerances to be held.
