CLM Positioning Solutions is the sole Trimble Construction Distributor for Southern Africa. We are the supplier of advanced positioning solutions that maximise productivity and enhance profits for our clients working in construction.


CLM Positioning Solutions has the most complete range of positioning solutions for the construction market including: design and data prep, earthmoving grade control, site positioning, general and interior building and asset management. Our solutions are based on Trimble's experience in developing positioning products for the harsh construction environment. Trimble lasers, total stations, GPS positioning and wireless technologies give customers more control over their job site. Through all phases of the construction process, our solutions help streamline work processes, minimize downtime and rework which increases productivity and profitability for the contractor.

Design and data prep

Today, digital information created for the site design and project plan is being used for machine control to ensure accurate grading and for site positioning during and after project completion. Trimble has a suite of powerful software for design, estimating takeoff and data preparation, as well as interfaces to leading third-party design packages. Information
technology from Trimble migrates data between the design engineer and the earth moving contractor which streamlines the workflow and reduces errors from manual re-entry.

Grade Control

Trimble offers an extensive line of Grade Control Systems. From laser or sonic based through to 3D, these rugged systems are easy to use, fully upgradable and flexible enough to meet a wide range of application and jobsite requirements. Trimble's 3D systems integrate high precision GPS, lasers and optical positioning with a sophisticated control system and
extensive software, enabling operators to precisely grade complex sites up to an accuracy of five millimeters. This precision reduces rework and increases job site productivity by more than 25 percent. Trimble Grade Control Systems can be installed on machines from any vendor and use industry standard interfaces to deliver a system that allows contractors to easily add more sensors and upgraded software as needed to meet specific machine and application requirements.

Site positioning

Trimble Site Positioning Systems are designed to provide contractors with state-of-the-art construction positioning solutions. Trimble gives nonsurveyors in site preparation and heavy highway, mining, landfill and waste disposal, and marine applications the ability to quickly resolve problems on site and the flexibility to complete any task. Contractors can track, report,
validate and control workflows from receipt of initial designs to project completion Trimble Site Positioning Systems give site foremen, supervisors, grade checkers and site engineers the tools they need to help run machines on site, reduce downtime and resolve issues as they arise—without office assistance.

Build

Trimble offers a portfolio of construction positioning solutions specifically designed to meet construction layout, alignment and measurement needs for both commercial and residential construction. Powerful yet easy to use 3D positioning tools allow contractors to take control of their construction layout so they can perform layout tasks more efficiently. Our exterior and
interior lasers allow for fast and accurate leveling and alignment of foundations, floors, walls, ceilings as well as the positioning of fixtures and calculation of areas and lengths. For underground utilities, pipe lasers allow for the accurate alignment of pipe work and are rugged enough to work in the harshest of environments. Trimble continues to stand at the forefront of
construction positioning technology, with rugged, reliable and accurate positioning tools for a range of jobs that improve productivity and quality even with today’s more complicated designs.

Construction Asset Management

Trimble offers a complete, scalable solution for managing practically all types of assets typically found on construction sites, including mobile and portable assets as well as personnel. The solution enables construction contractors to: centralize and simplify management of onsite operations, improve asset productivity, help allocate resource effectively, improve safety, reduce maintenance and fuel costs and assist with theft recovery, if
necessary.
