Topcon, DynaRoad Release Construction Planning Software
November 28, 2011
LIVERMORE,
Calif.
– Topcon Positioning
Systems (TPS) and DynaRoad Oy, a software company in Helsinki, Finland,
announced the release of DynaRoad v5.2 construction scheduling and planning
software.
Earlier this
year, TPS purchased a significant share in DynaRoad Oy, which develops project
management software specially designed for large-scale construction such as
highway, tunnel, railway, area development and harbor projects.
Juuso Makinen,
CEO of DynaRoad Oy, said, “Version 5.2 has improved planning tools with a map
view for visualizing project progress week-by-week. The software also has
industry specific tools. For example,
for earthmoving, the new version allows the importing of quantity data directly
from a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet so, within minutes, the user has developed a
mass haul plan.”
He said that the
new version also provides a “new look and feel in graphical views and has added
interactive planning tutorials and sample projects.”
At the time of the purchase, Ivan Di Federico, TPS chief strategy officer,
said, “Contractors and designers use DynaRoad products and services to save
time and money by optimizing and controlling the production of large and
complicated earthworks projects.
“The DynaRoad
solution combines mass haul optimization, location based scheduling and
production control.”
Prior to the purchase agreement, DynaRoad and
TPS worked together developing products for asset management, planning and
scheduling.
