Engines howl down 3,740 feet of asphalt. At the end of the longest straight in NASCAR: three corners, each demanding a different answer. The first demands a hard brake. The second demands precision. The third demands patience for the long stretch ahead. Ryan Preece runs that sequence 160 times in the No. 60 Trimble Ford Mustang Dark Horse, refusing to sacrifice speed or precision. That perseverance doesn't stop at the Tricky Triangle. It carries on, through the well-managed gamelands that ring the Poconos, to old structures recently restored and new buildings rising.
Recreation as restoration
In the dense forests surrounding the circuit, perseverance keeps local lands healthy and wildlife populations under control. Across the state, the Pennsylvania Game Commission leverages Esri's ArcGIS platform, powered by centimeter-accurate Trimble hardware, to monitor wildlife health and sustainability. Field biologists, hunters and habitat crews precisely track disease, harvest numbers and how much wildlife the land can healthily support. These data-driven initiatives ensure gamelands remain thriving and open for all Pennsylvanians to experience for generations to come.Â
Renovating without recess
South into the Philadelphia suburbs, 90 minutes east of the Pocono Raceway, the stick-to-it-ness pushes past deadlines and workforce shortages to deliver vital infrastructure. Myco Mechanical turned to Trimble tech for a $73 million renovation of Interboro High School with one line the work could not cross: students could not lose a single day of class. Using 3D coordination models to map the building's systems in advance, the crew sidestepped the usual construction chaos and delivered the campus on schedule. The community's public investment held its value and the school year pressed on uninterrupted. Just imagine how excited those students were to have not missed a single day of class!
Have the site and style it too
On the western edge of the state, outside of Pittsburgh, Studio St. Germain confronted a tension that has long defined the industry: striking architecture or high-performance sustainability. Designers have historically had to favor one at the expense of the other. But using Trimble performance modeling tools, the studio was able to prove that sustainable design doesn't have to sacrifice visual charm. The result is an award-winning portfolio of buildings that perform as well as they present, with better air and lower energy costs for the communities that use them.
Add Trimble to your toolkit
For those looking to advance their own operations, explore the specific tools and workflows that enable these Pennsylvania-based initiatives.
Stewardship at scale
Like the Pennsylvania Game Commission, capture centimeter-accurate field data straight into your Esri workflow with Trimble Catalyst.
Coordination before construction
Like Myco Mechanical at Interboro High School, model every mechanical and electrical run before installation begins with Trimble SysQue, the constructible MEP toolset built for Revit-based modeling and prefab workflows.
Design and analysis, side by side
Like Studio St. Germain, model performance and form in the same space using Trimble SketchUp paired with Sefaira, where real-time energy and daylight analysis run alongside the design itself.
Learn how Trimble integrated field-to-office technology gives teams the power to turn project projections into predictable outcomes.
