Devon-based Morcom Construction has recently integrated Leica Geosystems 3D Machine Control across several diggers to support both their commercial and private projects.
Their journey with Leica MC1 began when Pete, a veteran machine operator with nearly 40 years of industry experience, encouraged the company to advance its growth by adopting machine control technology.
Initially installed to enhance dozer workflows, the system's versatility allows it to be calibrated across multiple machines.
Now, it’s efficiently utilised with various diggers, dozers, and excavators as needed, maximising productivity across projects.
