"Dirt busts" and double handling are major margin killers for grading contractors, but without access to current, accurate topographical data, some waste is inevitable. To combat this, Independent Construction Company, headquartered in Concord, CA, has chosen to leverage technology across its portfolio of projects to maximize efficiency of its operations and empower its team.
One such technology in its arsenal is TraceAir, a software solution that uses drone data to help construction teams streamline projects. Independent began using it in December 2016, when drones were used for a first test flyover on a project at Faria Ranch in San Ramon, CA. The contractor has since utilized the technology on 44 projects to improve efficiency across its grading operations.
