机器控制有助于保护新加坡免受海平面上升

Author: Reka Vasszi

Since the start of the 20th century, the average global sea level has been rising at an increasing rate. As the world warms and ice caps melt, regions far from a melting ice sheet, such as Singapore, will see a rise in sea level greater than the global average. The sea level around the island today is 14 centimetres above pre-1970 levels, said the Meteorological Service Singapore (MSS) in its annual climate assessment report.

The authorities of Singapore continuously need to deal with this existential threat of rising sea levels and considering a range of solutions including reclamation and building sea walls to protect its people, economy and infrastructure from the rising tides.

这是Halex Construction Pte的图片。有限公司是一家海洋土木工程公司，为新加坡的海岸保护和土木工程项目的客户提供创新和尖端的解决方案。

该公司因沿海土地开垦而签约，以创造新的土地，以进一步发展，并保护主要岛屿的海岸免受海平面上升。

Gaining competitive advantage by exploiting digitalisation

在过去的几年中,Halex abil演示ity to complete some of the most challenging marine construction projects successfully. To maintain its role as a significant contractor in shore protection and civil engineering, Halex decided to invest in digital solutions to increase productivity, profits and utilise their workforce more efficiently.

“Leveraging on technology is the best when it brings us ahead of competitors and make us competitive,”Halex Construction Pte主任Hayden Ang说。Halex有限公司相信，升级其机组人员的技能和Devaulinig是行业中最先进的工厂，设备，技术和工作流程，以便为客户提供最高的服务标准。

当Halex寻找有助于简化工作流程并提高准确性和生产水平的应用程序时，他们决定投资Leica Geosystems的高级3D机器控制解决方案。除了选择适合所有重型机器和环境的完整解决方案的便利之外，Halex还希望与合作伙伴合作，而不仅仅是投资于该技术。

“Local support is the key factor in selecting such technology,”said Ang.“我们的整个工作人员都参与了整个过程，并向Leica Geosystems的支持团队积极地为想法和反馈提供了反馈。在培训我们的运营商使用该技术的上方，使我们能够进行自己的修改以进行硬件保护并提供现场支持，我们与Leica Geosystems专家进行了深入的讨论，讨论如何改善工作流程。这是真正的伙伴关系。”

After the local Leica Geosystems team deployed the advanced 3D machine control technology on the machines and trained the Halex crew, the company was able to streamline their workflows. By introducing theLeica机器控制解决方案使用双GNSS，不再需要手动放行。此外，现在Halex可以为其利益相关者提供实时可见性和井井有条的验证。

采用一个完整的挖ital solution to maximise accuracy

通过与新加坡的Leica Geosystems团队合作，Halex不仅投资了这项技术，而且是针对用于海上应用程序优化的挖掘机的完整解决方案，包括硬件，传感器，软件，培训，培训以及行业和产品专家的持续本地支持。

Halex选择了IXE3双GNSS解决方案，并具有以下主要组件：

• 莉卡MDS30docking station andLeica MCP80machine control panel.

• Leica图标gps 80GNSS machine receiver.

• 莉卡MSS420dredging sensors for marine applications.

• 莉卡MSS400 pitch and roll sensors.

• 莉卡MRS300 compass.

• 莉卡MC13D machine control software.

The technology allows the company to perform underwater excavation, filling on barges and from land with the aid of RTK GPS. The iXE3 machine control solution enabled the team到control the design levels and existing elevations using the 3D platform具有轮廓横截面和计划视图。

“不再需要双重工作乃至inexperienced operators are able to guide the excavators和更有效地工作，”昂说。“Due to the low tolerance on levels and stringent inspections using multibeam surveys in marine works, it is a challenge to dredge close to the design level. Hence,with the aid of technology, with the increased machine efficiency and actual profiling of the slope, it helps us to可节省材料成本和reduced the time utilised到achieve our desired slope levels. Moreover,we rely less on manual supervision by experienced foremen,”explains the director.

Furthermore, when filling up the rock formation, operators现在可以将水桶放在岩石上检查当前级别without checking the tidal level， 因此节省时间并增加安全性在工作地点。过去，操作员需要定期检查潮汐水平，并与挖掘机吊杆上的标记进行比较以获得估计的水平。

“This manual checking to derive the level is both laborious and contains a certain level of inaccuracy. But now, we can get the level right at the first time,”昂说。“It transforms our excavators into highly efficient underwater tools by easily improving our efficiency by 10-20% daily.”

Choosing a technology partner helping you achieve your goals

哈莱克斯（Halex）投资了数字化，以提高挖泥和回填作品的准确性和熟练程度来保持其竞争优势。但是，跟上向更具数字和智能建筑时代的转变，这也是一项长期投资。

“Halex believes in sharing good practices so that the whole industry can improve together. Hence we gladly recommend the machine control solution from Leica Geosystems. Not only our company benefits from digitalisation, but overall the clients’ schedule and profitability,”said Ang.

Adopting digital solutions help Halex to be the leader in the industry and be prepared for the future.
