The May issue of CES magazine is the latest publication to feature a KOREC story. Click here or turn to page 35 to read “A Market Matures”.  This three page article looks at Machine Control users outside the traditional core of road and rail. Many thanks to Wayne Barr and Julius Newman of Ground Developments in Scotland who took the time to explain how they are using Trimble Machine Control on a housing development for 162 homes in North Larkshire.

KOREC is delighted to announce that it will be using this year’s Hillhead Exhibition in June to launch the first of its hands-on Machine Control Training Courses. The Trimble GCS900 Machine Control Training Course has been developed in collaboration with Trimble and will be a two-day site based, course aimed at Machine Operators. In a move away from web based training, the course will be led on-site by a KOREC instructor to ensure a more robust training experience for Operators.  This practical approach will allow those attending to see systems and machines first hand and in a context relevant to… Read More

Hillhead 2010 has just finished and this years glorious weather was appreciated by visitors and exhibitors alike. Aided by Trimble and Finning, the KOREC stand was busy for the duration with the full Trimble range of Machine Control and Site Positioning Systems on show, all backed up by KOREC’s expertise. As predicted, the Finning supplied Caterpillar D7E with Trimble’s GCS900 system, attracted lots of attention. KOREC’s Peter Brooks explains, “We asked Finning if they could help us out at this years show by providing a Caterpillar D7E for our stand. This machine – the first-ever electric drive track-type tractor D7E… Read More

<!–[endif]–> KOREC will be presenting a series of Technical Seminars at this year’s Infrarail show dealing with modern methods of surveying and track construction.  Matthew Lock, one of KOREC’s survey experts, will be discussing the GEDO CE Track Measuring Device (TMD) which was recently awarded Network Rail approval.  The TMD incorporates sensors for very precise measurement of the distance between gauge and cant (the two rail lines and super-elevation between them).  A single prism can be mounted on either side of the TMD and then tracked by one of the Trimble S-Series Robotic Total Stations or a Trimble SPS930 Universal… Read More
