Introducing Trimble Catalyst for Building Construction

July 17, 2024

In construction, every second counts, which is why the Trimble^® Catalyst™ GNSS system for building construction workflows is designed to maximize efficiency and minimize downtime.

Unlike traditional total stations, Trimble Catalyst eliminates the need for elaborate setup routines and operates seamlessly without line-of-sight restrictions, making it ideal for early-stage construction and large-scale projects.

This innovative solution delivers lightweight, fast and reliable positioning, ensuring you can tackle any challenge your site presents. Discover how Trimble Catalyst puts best-in-class GNSS technology at your fingertips without the large upfront investment, and read how it revolutionizes your construction workflows and enhances productivity in the blog below.

What is Trimble Catalyst?

Trimble Catalyst, combined with the small and compact Trimble DA2 GNSS receiver, is a low-cost, all-in-one GNSS positioning service that integrates seamlessly with Trimble FieldLink field software to offer accurate positioning for any construction task.

Powered by the Trimble Corrections Hub, Trimble Catalyst delivers reliable, centimeter-level precision worldwide via both Trimble VRS Now and Trimble CenterPoint^® RTX real-time correction services.

Transforming construction workflows

Trimble Catalyst is the perfect tool for fast and flexible positioning across your job site. Whether helping you easily spot-check ongoing work, stake out underground utilities and trenches, or even temporary structures, Catalyst powered by FieldLink can handle it all.

Stay on top of your QA/QC

Avoid costly mistakes and stay ahead of rework by validating construction as it unfolds with rapid positioning and purpose-built workflows in FieldLink. Intuitively confirm the position of construction layout pre or post-install to keep your project moving smoothly.

Dig in with the DA2

Trimble Catalyst and the DA2 GNSS receiver make laying out trenches and utility runs easy and stress-free. Without line-of-sight issues, the Catalyst GNSS system helps you cover sizable distances without wasting time moving station setups.

Enhance your site logistics

With Trimble Catalyst, site logistics become more manageable and efficient. The system’s accurate positioning capabilities are suited for setting out temporary pavements, silt fencing and curb staking, ensuring your site remains organized and safe.

Construction-grade GNSS for every size business

From those who are just getting started with GNSS to seasoned professionals looking to scale their business, the Trimble Catalyst GNSS system is the ideal entry point for construction-grade GNSS. Trimble Catalyst’s fast and accurate positioning provides an excellent solution for layout across wide-ranging projects, reliable QA/QC, and any other jobs around the site that need quick positioning. Whether complementing your existing total station or helping you take your first steps into Trimble technology, the Catalyst GNSS system is ready to scale with you.
