Land Forming

Solutions from concept to completion

Some land just won’t cooperate on its own – Trimble can help.

When your land doesn’t drain well or has too many low spots or hills, it can't produce consistently. You either struggle against it year after year or you just let it sit idle. Either way, it isn’t making you money. That's why Trimble has developed an end-to-end approach that farmers and earthworks contractors can use for their land forming projects.

Survey

Easily collect and import 3D field data with Trimble’s WM-Survey II™ app or WM-Topo™ survey system, FieldLevel™ II system, WM-Form® design software and TMX-2050™ display system.

  • Map your fields with precision RTK measurements to ensure the most accurate field surface designs
  • Use Trimble displays to record boundaries, section line alignments and interior data of the field
  • Use the WM-Survey II app, WM-Topo survey system or the FieldLevel II Survey and Design module on your TMX-2050 display to collect topographic data or section lines in hard-to-reach areas
  • Import topographic surveys into the WM-Form design software for analysis and design
Analyze
collapse icon

Analyze topographic data in the WM-Form design software to identify surface problems that are limiting yield potential.

  • View the original field topography and slopes in 3D
  • Determine areas that require leveling, surface drainage, furrow irrigation or other sub-designs
  • Use the analysis suite to get a clear picture of drainage issues before you design and validation that design doesn’t highlight any other areas that need further attention before moving soil
Design
collapse icon

Create an optimal field surface using WM-Form design software that balances your farming practices with water movement requirements and earthworks costs.

  • Produce multi-directional land forming designs
  • Create sub-design areas, including level pads, pipe beds, tail ditches or topsoil
  • Add section lines, hinges and exclusive zones for land leveling
  • Generate furrow irrigation designs that account for row constraint and cross-slope inputs
  • Create full design reports before you ever pay for land forming designs – pay by area only when you need to move dirt and a control file is required
Estimate
collapse icon

Use your new design to estimate earthworks volumes and costs using WM-Form design software.

  • Provide a design cost estimate that suits your customer’s requirements
  • Set a fixed fee or calculate a fee based on the total volume moved
Form
collapse icon

Leverage your 3D design to form the field using Trimble’s FieldLevel II system.

  • Import the field design generated in your WM-Form design software into your TMX-2050 display system
  • Use the FieldLevel II system to form the land according to the design
  • Perform earthworks operations using any make or model of tractor or scraper
Verify
collapse icon

Use the WM-Topo survey system to validate that each design has been accurately completed.

  • Perform spot checks for grade and elevation to validate your land was formed according to the design
