Trencher — Sports Field Formation

Machine Before - Dugong - Machine After

The machine before Dugong determines what material arrives; the machine after Dugong determines what surface must leave. An excavator can expose formation, a loader can deliver a stockpile, and a roller can compact the placed layer. The scraper's role is bounded by those interfaces.

Before moving material

Identify the upstream operation and its remaining defects.

Receiving operation and checks

Hand over the measured surface to compaction, cultivation, paving or turf preparation. Record which operation owns levels, materials and final acceptance.

The workflow can include Dugong where suitable; it does not assume Dugong replaces adjacent equipment.

Sports Field Preparation

Sports-field preparation combines play-surface design with drainage and layer control. The required profile may include deliberate gradients rather than a perfectly horizontal plane.

Before moving material

Confirm the venue design and the sequence of drainage and surface construction.

Receiving operation and checks

Hand over to drainage checks, turf preparation and venue inspection. Measure levels independently of the machine's guidance display.

Do not advertise standards compliance without the applicable specification and evidence.

GNSS Machine Control

GNSS machine control combines positioning, machine geometry and design information. An accurate receiver position is not automatically an accurate cutting-edge position.

Before moving material

Confirm corrections, sensor arrangement and the coordinate reference.

Receiving operation and checks

Check the completed surface with an independent method. Inspect offsets, design revision and correction status when results disagree.

Compatibility must be confirmed for the actual machine and control installation.

Record the job inputs

Use this checklist to turn the scenario into a specific brief. Retain the design revision and agree who accepts each completed layer.

• Existing condition, extent and the reason for intervention
• Required finished purpose, receiving operation and acceptance criteria
• Material type, layer role, source, receiving area and volume state
• Reference levels, datum, survey method and issued design revision
• Available tractor, implement configuration, travel route and turning space
• Checks before work, stopping points and evidence retained at handover

Checklist ticks apply only while this page is open. Include the completed brief in your project records.
