Overview

GNSS for Modern Construction & Mining Operations

Construction and mining sites are among the most demanding GNSS environments — heavy machinery creates RF noise, jobsite radios cause interference, and operations demand the highest accuracy for safety and efficiency. Eview GNSS receivers with Septentrio AIM+ technology are engineered for these conditions.

From grader blade control on highway projects to autonomous haul truck navigation in open-pit mines, Eview delivers the centimeter accuracy and interference resilience required for modern machine control and autonomous operations at scale.

FAQ

Construction & Mining GNSS — Frequently Asked Questions

What accuracy is required for 3D machine control on construction sites?
3D machine control for grading and earthworks typically requires 1–2 cm RTK horizontal accuracy and 2–3 cm vertical accuracy. For structures and foundations, sub-centimeter accuracy is preferred. Eview RTK receivers deliver <1 cm horizontal and <2 cm vertical — suitable for all machine control grade guidance applications.
How does RF interference from construction equipment affect GNSS performance?
Diesel-electric machinery, radio communications, and cellular repeaters on busy construction sites generate broadband RF noise that can degrade standard GNSS receivers. AIM+ actively monitors all GNSS frequency bands and suppresses interference up to 60 dB — maintaining RTK fix in conditions that would knock standard receivers into a degraded single-frequency mode.
Can Eview GNSS modules integrate with existing machine control systems?
Yes. Eview receivers output standard NMEA 0183, UBX binary, and SBF messages compatible with major machine control platforms including Topcon, Trimble, Leica, and Sitelink3D systems. Custom integration is supported via our technical team.
What update rate do autonomous haul trucks require from GNSS?
Autonomous haul trucks typically require GNSS position updates at 10–50 Hz for smooth path following and collision avoidance. Eview receivers support output rates up to 100 Hz — providing more than adequate latency headroom for autonomous haulage system requirements.
