by Teledyne.” Nash and his engineers
had created a dredging system that
included real-time visualization of a
dredging project, including a threedimensional
view of the dredging
bucket in action, full statistics on the
dredging progress, real-time views of
the bottom, amount dredged, amount
remaining to be dredged and other
vital information and descriptive operator
screens.
Pile driving had always been one
of the solutions Nash offered, but the
addition of the PDS software offered
the possibility of 3D graphics, and the
request from Alva was the spur to finalize
this application.
Tramble explained what was
involved in moving and positioning
piles, and Nash agreed to create a
system with the sensors and parameters
required for pile driving, especially
for the raked piles, which must be
driven at an angle within specific
tolerances.
Back at Measutronics headquarters
in Lakeland, Fla., Trevor Yocum, who
performed most of the beta testing on
the system, created a mock-up of the
proposed system to envision the location
of the GPS receivers and antennas,
angle sensors and other hardware
on the equipment and in the cab.

After the timber piles were placed, they
were cut off to design elevation and the
wooden cribbing installed in preparation for
installation of the concrete cap. The batter
piles provide extra strength to the structure
by resisting heavy lateral or inclined loads.
