The demostration involved creating a ground-level poppy design, created using Trimble-equipped machinery.
SITECH UK & Ireland, an authorised dealer of Trimble Civil Construction Field Systems, and Flannery Plant Hire joined forces to commemorate Remembrance Day in a special event for the Corps of Royal Engineers. SITECH demonstrated how advanced Trimble machine control systems could be utilised to create a powerful tribute while delivering precision construction work.
The demonstration, which took place at Flannery’s Operator Skills Hub (OSH) in Birmingham, involved creating a ground-level poppy design, created using Trimble-equipped machinery. The intricate design showcases how modern machine control systems can achieve detailed earthworks with high-grade accuracy.
“Creating the poppy design demonstrates the remarkable precision possible with today’s technology,” explains Carl Parsons, Strategic Account Manager at SITECH UK & Ireland. “Using Trimble Earthworks Grade Control Platform, operators can see the exact position of the machine’s blade or bucket in real-time, allowing them to achieve complex designs that would have been extremely challenging using traditional methods. We’re proud to demonstrate these capabilities to the Royal Engineers, whose own history of engineering feats span more than 300 years.”
The poppy design was mapped using Trimble Business Center software, which transforms survey data into a detailed 3D model. This model was then transferred to the machinery via Trimble WorksManager software, ensuring operators had instant access to the precise design specifications. The automatic data transfer capability proved crucial in maintaining design accuracy throughout the project, allowing real-time updates and remote troubleshooting when needed. The demo featured a suite of SITECH’s Trimble technology, including Trimble Earthworks Machine Control systems for dozers and excavators, Trimble Business Center, WorksManager, WorksOS software, and advanced positioning systems including the R780 Rover and R750 Base Station. Flannery Plant Hire marked the occasion by unveiling a specially commissioned machine featuring a Remembrance Day themed livery. This tribute served as a powerful reminder of service personnel’s contributions both past and present.
“The OSH event demonstrates our commitment to supporting armed forces personnel transitioning to civilian roles,” added Parsons. “The skills and experience that service personnel bring to the construction industry are invaluable, and we’re proud to play a part in showcasing the career opportunities available to them.”
