This case study focuses on the A421 Expressway widening, a Morgan Sindall project that will create a dual carriage way from the Eagle Farm roundabout to Junction 13 of the M1. A stretch of road that is used by almost 30,000 vehicles a day.
Flannery Plant Hire have supplied the latest 320 HEX tracked excavator to the project having invested heavily over the past twelve months in the Cat Next Generation product range. Packed with safety features and the latest technology including Cat Grade Assist, Cat Grade and Cat Payload, these machines offer a noticeable advancement in connected and automated plant technology, making them ideal for complex earthworks schemes.
The focus for this case study were the benefits of the Trimble Earthworks platform, these new excavators are supplied with the GPS platform fully integrated.The technology allows data files to be loaded into the system (via USB or remotely) which then enables the operator to work accurately with the latest digital model.
