Technology
At Willows Construction (2001) Ltd. we lead our industry’s technological trends. Using the latest technology has gained us a competitive edge in the industry. Our in-house developed “Flex-GPS” technology enables us to use grade control on any piece of equipment in our fleet. This system is capable of functioning on both engineered and non-engineered projects increasing its usefulness. This benefits our clients by reducing survey costs and improves productivity making us up to 45% more efficient in earthworks projects compared to conventional non-GPS equipment. GPS grade control also increases safety by removing the number of individuals needed on the site. Our “Flex GPS” system eliminates the need for traditional ‘grade-stick’ surveying which reduces the potential of incidents.
Operating current equipment with GPS technology is not only beneficial to the client and worker safety but also the environment. Completing jobs efficiently decreases fuel consumption and harmful emissions reducing a project’s total environmental impact.
