Know where you are. Know what’s left to dig. 👷

When you're in the cab, having the right information in front of you matters.

UniControl puts your bucket position, depth, and grade information on screen, with customisable value bars and a navigation view to help you work to the design.

From checking levels while trenching to working towards a finished formation, it helps you see where you are and make adjustments as you go, without constantly stopping to check.

A few of the core features are shown here, with plenty more to explore.

UniControl 2D vs 3D - which is right for your site?

A simple way to look at it:

🔹 2D - height, depth, and slope control using a laser or other reference.

🔹 3D - GNSS positioning + digital design files, allowing the operator to work directly to the model.

For straightforward excavation and grading, 2D can be a great fit.

For complex sites, detailed designs, roads, and changing levels, 3D gives the operator much more information from the cab.

The right system is the one that suits the work you actually do.

🚀 The best part? Future-proof flexibility.

You don't have to choose between affordability and advanced tech forever. Start with the cost-effective 2D setup today and upgrade to full 3D precision at any time using the exact same hardware platform already installed.

Where can UniControl machine control be used❓️

UniControl isn't just for one type of machine or one type of job.

From excavators and dozers to grading attachments and tiltrotator setups, there are options for different machines, applications, and levels of machine control.

With 2D and 3D systems available, UniControl can provide guidance for everything from everyday excavation and grading to more detailed earthworks, drainage, foundations, roads and site preparation.

With 3D, digital designs (3D) and GNSS positioning, can be brought directly into the cab, giving the operator real-time information on position, depth, grade and cut/fill.

Another one for Cavanalee Contracts | Hitachi 210 fitted with UniControl 2D!

We recently installed and set up a 2D system on the 210, alongside installing a UniControl 3D system on their Hitachi 135.

The two machines are part of a multi-machine setup, meaning the 3D system's capabilities can be transferred between the 135 and 210 whenever 3D machine control is needed. It also leaves the option to upgrade the 2D system to 3D in the future, if required.

A practical setup that gives Cavanalee more flexibility across the fleet, without needing a dedicated 3D system on both machines.

Thanks to the team at Cavanalee Contracts for choosing Top Survey & UniControl. Looking forward to seeing how you get on with the new setup! 🤝

A Hitachi 135 spec'd out with UniControl 3D for Cavanalee Contracts. 🚜

We recently installed and set up the system for Cavanalee Contracts, getting the machine ready for on-site 3D machine control.

The 3D system is part of a multi-machine setup, meaning the 3D capabilities can be moved between the 135 and Cavanalee’s Hitachi 210, which is running UniControl 2D.

The package also included a GNSS rover/base station, giving Cavanalee their own setup for surveying, setting out, and providing GNSS corrections.

Thanks to Cavanalee Contracts for choosing Top Survey & UniControl 🤝

Manual grading vs UniControl3D 🚜

The difference is having your design and real-time machine guidance right there in the cab.

With UniControl3D, operators can work directly to the digital model, with live depth, position, and grade information to help get the job done accurately.

Less guesswork. Less rework. More control from the cab.

See the difference for yourself.

FROM CAD TO CAB 🔄

Ever wondered how a site design gets from the office onto a machine?
With UniControl3D + UnicontrolCloud, the workflow is simple:

📐 Design → Upload your CAD file
☁️ Cloud → Assign & sync the project
📡 Machine → Design appears in the cab
📍 GNSS + sensors → Real-time machine & bucket position
🚜 Dig → Work directly to the design
🔄 As-built → Site data can flow back to the office

From CAD to cab - and back again.
One workflow. Less file handling. Better connection between the office and site.

The most expensive earthmoving work is often the work you have to do twice.

That's why more contractors across Ireland and Scotland are turning to machine control technology.

At Top Survey, we work with businesses of all sizes to implement Unicontrol machine control systems that help improve accuracy, reduce rework, and give operators greater confidence on-site.

Combined with local installation, training, and support, our goal is simple: help your team move more material, more efficiently.

Thinking about machine control for your fleet? We'd be happy to show you what's possible.

The best machine on site isn't always the biggest.

It's often the one with the best information.

Every day, contractors face the same pressures:

📍 waiting for engineers to stake out
📍 Tight deadlines
📍 Rising costs
📍 Labour shortages

That's why machine control is becoming a standard part of modern construction rather than a "nice-to-have" technology.

When operators have real-time design data in the cab, they can work with greater confidence, reduce unnecessary staking, minimise rework, and make better decisions throughout the project.

At Top Survey, we've seen businesses transform the way they work after adopting Unicontrol machine control systems.

The biggest benefit isn't just the technology itself.

It's the confidence it gives operators.
