Plan for sustainabilitywith betterenvironmental andpublic outcomesRapidly consider new environmental orsocial constraints as the project progressesand demonstrate to stakeholders that theirinput has been integrated into the study.Planners can be more responsive to publicfeedback and re-evaluate alternativeswithin days instead of weeks or months. 4. Invest for a better futureby reducing capital andoperating expensesConduct a sensitivity analysis to balancecapital construction costs with ongoingoperating expenses, and identify alignmentswith the lowest total cost of ownership.Accelerate your return on investmentand improve value with the TrimbleQuantm Alignment Planning system. 5. Every project beginswith planningIn todays complex world increased legislative,environmental and community constraintscombined with limited budgets make goodplanning critical to the viability of any project.Trimble Planning Solutions, a wholly ownedsubsidiary of Trimble Navigation Limited,transforms the way planning is done.Innovative Trimble Quantm technologyintegrates engineering, environmental,social and economic factors into asimultaneous analysis of alternatives.This holistic approach to planning newinfrastructure results in rapid decision-making and lower construction costs.Using proven Trimble Quantm technology,planners and designers now have the abilityto minimize the environmental and socialimpact of road and rail projects, whilereducing construction and operating costsfor tax payers and project owners. Thesolutions are utilized at every stage of theplanning process from initial scoping throughfeasibility, detailed planning and pre-bid, andpost-bid award value engineering studies.Projects of all types and sizes can takeadvantage of the benefits of the TrimbleQuantm technology. Examples range fromregional, state and national transportationinfrastructure planning to small bypassesand road realignments. In addition, thesystem can be used for mining, forestryand utility industry infrastructure. 6.
