Product Info | TILOS Version 10 Release

Smarter. Easier. Accurate. Optimized.

Creating linear project plans using traditional Gantt software can be cumbersome and inaccurate. Trimble® TILOS transforms the way linear project plans are created by integrating a scaled diagram of your project with a comprehensive project management system tailored for Railway, Road, Pipeline, Tunnel and Transmission line projects.

TILOS combines time and location to give you a smarter, easier way to create accurate, optimized plans, and to quickly update these plans as schedule changes occur.

Version 10, the latest version of TILOS, includes many new features:
  • Mass haulage features and enhancements
  • Usability improvements to project setup and printing
  • Gantt chart improvements for scheduling
  • Time distance chart optimizations
  • Progress management improvements
  • And more!

Product Info | What's New With Business Center - HCE


Business Center - HCE – Version 4.0 is here!

Business Center - HCE from Trimble facilitates the management of data for multiple field crews operating on a job site. You can import, review, and analyze digital designs, and then assign, manage, and track that information through the lifecycle of a construction project. Powerful tools help you create accurate, integrated 3D models for sites, highways and marine applications quickly and easily. Make better decisions, decrease costly mistakes, and increase efficiency in the office and on the job site.

Business Center - HCE version 4.0 has a range of new features, including:
  • Insert DigitalGlobe Imagery Background Maps
    • Using the Toggle Background Map command, you can now insert geo-referenced background maps supplied by DigitalGlobe Imagery, a provider of global high-resolution satellite imagery based on a 16-year time-lapse image library (a free Trimble Connect login is required)
  • Rock Face Modeling
    • The Create Tunnel Surface has been enhanced so it can be used to better model near-vertical rock faces (including overhangs)
  • Better Mass Haul Viewing and Plotting
    • All mass haul ordinate objects (including borrow pits, waste sites and barriers) are now placed on appropriate mass haul layers; control what is visible and prepare for plotting
  • Create Points Using Single Proportioning
    • The Single Proportioning command provides a powerful tool for locating or re-establishing missing survey markers by reconciling recorded and measured distances
    • Create one or more proportioned points between two measured points or along measured segment lengths using either planar (grid) or geodetic (global) calculations
    • Utilize fixed-length record distances (for a right-of-way, for example) and relative record distances when computing the proportioned point(s)
  • Import CAD Data from PDF to Plan Set Sheets 
    • Import CAD data from a PDF file directly onto sheets in a plan set
    • If you import additional PDFs with this option enabled, each creates a separate plan set
Also, did you know, Business Center - HCE extracts and imports all files automatically from a zip file when you drag and drop it in? Awesome!

Keep your construction site closer to the design with the volume compare and cross section tools

Anyone who works in heavy construction knows that matching the design file as closely as possible is the name of the game. Contractors who succeed in this will save themselves both time and money, and protect their reputation in the sector as a company that gets the job done right the first time.

The more frequently the design can be referred to, the easier it is to manage design conformance – and the happier your clients will be in the end.

Comparing Volume

Understanding the cut and fill measurements for a certain area of terrain can be incredibly helpful when grading a section of your site. The volume compare tool provides both of these measurements as compared to the design file, alongside a visual heatmap showing exactly where to cut and fill the area with a “live” cut/fill values whenever you hover your mouse over the surface.

Comparing Cross-Section Heights

The height difference between the design file and the actual surface can also be a crucial measurement to understand. The cross section tool is the best resource for this, offering a clear, visual display of the height measurements of the current site compared to the design file.

This is a quick and convenient way to measure your progress, especially if you’re working in road construction.
