Lesja Bulldozerlag Uses Makin' Machine Control

Øyvind Stavheim, an #excavator operator at Lesja Bulldozerlag, is using #Makin3D machine control on a road building project on the island of Solund in the Norwegian Westland. The Westland is known for its rugged terrain, which is challenging, when there is no existing road, only virgin terrain. The project starts with the building of a pilot road, and Øyvind uses the excavator to clean the rocky surface from smaller rocks and vegetation by using the bucket to scoop up and remove vegetation, such as bushes and small trees, from the rocky surface. Afterwards, the drill rig can take over and prepare for blasting. Connectivity can often be a challenge on a remote island as Solund, but Øyvind finds Makin’s GPS positioning to be surprisingly high-performing. Øyvind has been using the Makin’ Surfaces function that automatically logs the surface as he is working. The new functionality will make the logging simpler and much more accurate.
