Site-Prep Contractors: New Book on Construction "Machine Control" Provides
Practical Advice to Dramatically Improve Your Bottom Line

MEMPHIS, Tenn., July 6 /PRNewswire/ -- In these days of marked downturns in
almost every facet of the economy, the construction industry is feeling the
pinch, as well. Construction companies and utilities are closely examining
their operations, looking for ways to increase efficiency, reduce operating
costs, and by so doing, maximize that precious bottom line profitability.

A new book that clearly presents the time and money-saving benefits of
applying "machine control" technology in the construction industry is
receiving high praise from contractors and utility companies, alike.

"Make More Money with Construction Machine Control" has been researched,
written, and published by the staff of TrenchSafety and Supply, Inc., a
Memphis-based company that provides equipment and services to help contractors
and utilities work safer, more productively, and more profitably. Throughout
the research, writing, and editing phases of the book the authors consulted
numerous machine control professionals.

Written in language and a style that clarifies what can be a
hard-to-understand technology, the book includes actual job-site photos, plus
illustrations, diagrams, and charts. Likewise, each of the seven chapters ends
with a "Frequently Asked Questions" section, which further discuss a wide
range of topics, such as money-saving job-based examples, safety issues,
proper care and maintenance of the equipment, and more.

For readers new to construction machine control, the book begins at the
beginning. Chapter 1 provides a thorough overview of the state of the
technology today. Following that introduction is a discussion of how a
contractor or utility can determine if machine control is appropriate for the
kind of projects they work on.

Subsequent chapters cover all the full range of machine control technologies
-- from lasers, to simple "indicate" systems, to 2- and 3-dimensional
automatic systems, through to the latest in GPS-based systems.

Kevin Kelton, of Forsgren, Inc., a site-prep company in Fort Smith, Ark.,
said, "You want to be more efficient in site-prep construction? Start with
this book."

Ray O'Connor, President and CEO of Topcon Positioning Systems, Inc., noted
"It's said that time is money. Take a little time to read this informative
book that will help you make more money using the latest machine control
technology."

And for management personnel, who are focused on keeping their customers happy
while keeping a close eye on the bottom line, Grant Garrett, of Grant Garrett
Excavating, summed it up best. "We now work smarter, we've reduced our costs,
and our customers love us for getting their jobs completed faster."
