Construction firms that adopt advanced technology enjoy a competitive advantage through improved resource utilization and design compliance, translating into cost and time savings. With the latest machine control, 3D design and project monitoring and reporting technology, contractors have tools on hand that communicate project specifications directly to machines and monitor progress in near-real time.
The combined benefits of connected construction technology, such as using less fuel, reducing emissions and minimizing errors and time-consuming rework, support the growing demand for sustainability and environmental responsibility on building and infrastructure sites.
MJ Church is a medium-sized civil engineering contractor with a modern fleet of about 170 machines and more than 200 vehicles in South West England. The company prides itself on a passion for new and innovative technologies that play an integral role in its daily operations.
A landmark project for MJ Church is the Dorset Visual Impact Provision project in the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). The firm was tasked with the restoration of this site to its former glory, which involved the removal of 400kV overhead power towers to improve the visual appeal of the area. The power needed to be diverted to underground cables nestled in ducts in 4 trenches of 8.5 kilometers each.
