Tech Lab Brings Digital Skills to Construction Training

• The lab will include a range of Trimble’s technologies such as the Trimble XR10 with HoloLens 2; GNSS receivers, controllers and tablets and more
• The lab was made possible with the support from MEB Group, Trimble’s Swiss dealers SITECH Switzerland AG, BuildingPoint Switzerland AG and ALLNAV AG

Trimble and CAMPUS SURSEE have collaborated to establish a Technology Lab at CAMPUS SURSEE’s Training Center for Construction in Sursee, Switzerland.

The Trimble Technology Lab builds upon the center's training and research in engineering, construction and the sustainable built environment. The lab brings a range of professionals, including construction machine operators, foremen, construction managers, and general managers, direct access to the technology for the entire construction process.

The technology lab also offers a range of continuing education courses for experienced professionals who wish to acquire additional skills. The Trimble Technology Lab was made possible with the support from the MEB Group, Trimble’s Swiss dealers SITECH Switzerland AG, BuildingPoint Switzerland AG and ALLNAV AG.

“Through relationships like this, Trimble’s education and outreach programs aim to support not only the next generation of construction professionals, but also working professionals,” said Allyson McDuffie, director of Education and Outreach at Trimble. The CAMPUS SURSEE lab is a place for construction industry professionals to further their education and get vital experience with emerging technologies and best practices. “

The lab will include a range of Trimble’s technologies such as the Trimble XR10 with HoloLens 2; GNSS receivers, controllers and tablets; robotic, universal and scanning total stations; laser scanners; Trimble Earthworks Grade Control Platform for Excavators and Compactors as well as Trimble Roadworks Paving Control Platform for Compactors. Advanced software solutions include RealWorks scanning software, Trimble FieldLink Office, Trimble Business Center, Tekla Structures, Tekla Model Sharing, Tekla Structural Design Suite, Trimble Connect and Trimble Quadri collaboration platforms, Trimble Siteworks, Trimble Tilos, Trimble WorksOS, and the company’s popular 3D modeling software, SketchUp Pro.

“We are convinced that digital skills will become increasingly important in the construction industry. With the support of our new Trimble Technology Lab, we are able to equip professionals at all levels and career stages with digital skills and thus prepare them for their professional challenges,” said Thomas Stocker, managing director at CAMPUS SURSEE. “With the new lab, CAMPUS SURSEE will also become a popular training partner and will play an important pioneering role in the collaboration of different construction trades and joint planning on the digital model.”
