As the operator moves the joysticks,
the text reads the inclination change
required to get to design inclination,
and another reading gives the inclination
heading change required to
achieve the design inclination heading.
Meanwhile, he sees the green pile
moving toward the yellow line on the
screen.
“The third screen is where you select
which design pile you are going after.
Once the pile is selected, the screen
shows the design pile properties such
as northing, easting, elevation, length
and inclination,” said Keys.
The system uses the Trimble BX982
Marine GNSS Receiver, which Keys
calls the “brain” of the system.
The antennas were two Trimble
Rugged Zephyr 2 GNSS antennas, one
providing position and the other to
allow calculation of heading.
The Alva crew built a metal bracket
perpendicular to the pile driver lead,
with a rail around it to protect the
antennas and the pitch and roll sensor
from the free-swinging piles as they
were loaded into the leads. The bracket
was placed high on the lead to minimize
the possibility of it being struck
by the piles.
Another concern was for the cable
that connected the components to
the computers in the cab. The solution
was to run the cable inside the crane
boom, with sufficient slack to prevent
movement of the crane and leads from
affecting it.
The cab-based equipment included
a laptop computer to run the TMC software
and the Trimble GNSS receivers.
Because space in the cab was limited,

The Alva crew
designed this bracket
to hold the GPS
antennas and the
