SITECH UK & Ireland, the exclusive distributor for Trimble Civil Construction solutions, has announced a strategic partnership with IPDS Groups Ltd, a Lincolnshire-based groundworks and civil engineering contractor. This collaboration aims to enhance IPDS’s operational efficiency and project precision through the implementation of advanced Trimble technology solutions.
IPDS Groups Ltd has rapidly adopted digital construction technologies, investing in a comprehensive suite of Trimble Connected Site components, including excavator cab kits, dual-antenna receivers, the Trimble Earthworks Grade Control Platform, a base station, and a rover for site surveying and progress tracking. This hardware is complemented by Trimble Business Center and Trimble WorksManager software, enabling IPDS to streamline project execution and improve overall efficiency.
“IPDS’s journey with digital construction technology exemplifies how embracing technology can transform operations,” stated Lisa Cheshire, Regional Sales Manager – Eastern Region at SITECH UK & Ireland. “In just 12 months, they have moved from their first machine control system to a comprehensive digital workflow. The integration of Trimble Earthworks, our site positioning systems, and office software has empowered them to tackle more complex projects and compete effectively with larger contractors.”
The technology investment has proven particularly beneficial for IPDS in overcoming industry challenges, such as maintaining positioning accuracy in areas with limited GNSS signal. The flexibility provided by both base station and Trimble VRS capabilities ensures consistent and reliable positioning across all project sites, further enhancing IPDS’s operational capabilities. This partnership underscores SITECH UK & Ireland’s commitment to driving digital transformation within the civil engineering and construction sectors.
