通过节省时间并使用机器控制来节省时间和返工来最大程度地减少环境足迹

Author: Karina Lumholt

Tucked between Iceland, Scotland and Norway in the North Atlantic Ocean, a group of 18 volcanic islands is the home of around 50,000 people and many sheep. Tórshavn, the world’s smallest, and some would say cosiest, capital in the world, hosts almost half of the country’s predominantly young population.

法罗群岛（Faroe Islands）拥有高度开发的基础设施，将群岛与桥梁，道路，隧道和海底隧道联系起来。人口增长，旅游业的增长和大型公共交通投资导致建筑业蓬勃发展。

Plan Sp/f is a 40-year-old construction company founded by Johannes Hellisdal. Today, father and son, Johannes and Dan Hellisdal, are working side by side in the company that employs approximately seven people, but this number can vary according to the season and the number of projects. Plan Sp/f has worked on road projects, roundabouts, site preparation, land development and parking lots in every part of the Faroe Islands and mainly in Tórshavn. The company is specialised in earthmoving activities and owns seven excavators whereof one is equipped withLeica iXE3 machine control solution以及ASALeica图标GPS 70 T用于利益。

“我们的抱负是minimisi时有效工作ng our environmental footprint，”约翰内斯·赫利斯达尔（Johannes Hellisdal）解释说。“机器控制是该策略的非常有针对性的一部分，因为我们通过第一次完成工作来节省大量成本，时间和燃料。透明

Using machine control is fairly new on the Faroe Islands, and both father and son acknowledge the many advantages. Plan Sp/f is right now working on a construction project in Tórshavn, preparing a site for the construction of 12 buildings that will host a total of 38 housings.

Dan Hellisdal解释了工作流程，”We now work in a much more precise and faster way. I am using the Komatsu PC360 LC to dig down to the where the bedrock starts. My dad is sitting in the other excavator with the hammer, and we communicate with walkie-talkies. I can see directly on my machine control panel how much of the rock he must remove to get to the correct grade. Before we introduced machine control to our machine park, we spent a lot of time removing a lot of the bedrock, now we only remove what is necessary and that saves time, fuel and costs.透明

As an added benefit Johannes Hellisdal explains there are still not so many heavy construction machines equipped with machine control on the Faroe Islands, hence, it is easy to rent out machines with machine control.

法罗群岛的特殊气候条件

The Faroese climate poses special challenges. The climate is mild yet unpredictable and everchanging with a great deal of rainfall and fog. With relatively mild winters, Plan Sp/f is normally able to work all year round.

“我们到处都有水，建筑物的地面必须用良好的排水装置，以使房屋保持干燥。我们通常必须抽水才能继续工作，但我们已经习惯了，我们甚至不认为这是一个问题，透明explains Dan Hellisdal.

Machine control installer Kim Højland from Leica Geosystem installs and calibrates the iXE3 solution on the machine and explains the special preparations when installing machine control on a machine working in harsh weather.

“我需要在机舱内安装ICG82 GNSS接收器以保护天气，并且整个机器将获得泡沫涂料，以便为Faroese条件做好准备，KimHøjland在完成校准并将Faroese坐标系加载到Leica MC1机器控制软件中时说。

The machine is then ready to be shipped and find its new owners in the Faroese capital of Tórshavn.

计划SP/F以绿色和高效的方式驱使Dan和Johannes订购新的Komatsu 365小时混合挖掘机，从而减少燃油消耗，从而降低CO2排放。为了使工作有效地完成工作，从而完全最大程度地减少了环境足迹，混合挖掘机是直接从丹麦的经销商Scantruck的Leica Geosystem的IXE3机器控制解决方案预装的。
