4. The world wide spend is relatively balanced between the 3 key segments A 5% productivity boost in Infrastructure would save $77Billion!

5. As the credit crisis deepens Federal Governments are looking to infrastructure stimuli to lead economic recoveries • Infrastructure stimulus programs WW could add $355B or ~7% to world construction spend in 2009/2010* • US has considered $795B for construction • China will spend $450B of the $585B stimulus on construction - this is effectively a 40% boost to their construction spend • Germany potentially $23.4B for infrastructure • France potentially $14B for infrastructure and public works * International Construction magazine 1/09

6. Construction is an InformationTechnology Laggard • Other industries have transformed productivity and quality through information technology • Airlines • Financial services • Logistics • Construction has principally relied on scale factors (bigger and faster) to create productivity improvements • Not aggressive in reengineering processes Source: ASCE Journal Dec 2003

9. The confluence of three major technology groupings are transforming their work processes Value is created by the integration of multiple technologies into solutions Customers are demanding solutions that require high levels of integration HW to HW HW to SW HW & SW to external networks site to back office • Firmware • Applications • Back office integration • Enterprise wide solutions • Internet hosted solutions • Cellular • Radio • Bluetooth • Satellite • WiFi Field hardware is the enabler • GPS • Laser • Optical • Inertial • VRS™ • 3-D Scanning

10. What is a Connected Site? • The connected site is an evolution of integrated products for site positioning, grade control, and asset management • It is not simply about wireless communications, although that is part of it • The connected site empowers better decision making by providing the right information at the right time • Data flows seamlessly to/from the field • Supervisors are up to date • Machines usage can be optimized • Resources can be allocated • Costs of re-work, material usage, and fuel are minimized

11. Connecting Your Site • Workflows to meet the needs of the different functions on the construction site • Integrated workflows to provide management information • Asset and fleet utilization • Progress and volumetric analysis • Grade checks and performance to specification • Remote management and diagnostics

12. Site Positioning Workflow Grade Control Workflow Fleet Management Workflow Asset 'Dump Truck #2' triggered TCM alert 'Dump Truck leaves Depot' on Tuesday, May 02, 2006 7:44:49 AM. At address: 10 Main St, Denver, CO, 80305 Connected Site – 4 Workflows Trimble Management and Aggregation Tools

13. Site Positioning Workflow Benefits of the Site Positioning Workflow • Reduced travel to / from the site office • Keep crews in the field where they are most productive • Facilitates rapid resolution of site problems • Results from site measurements can be delivered to the office within seconds of completing the work order or task • Allows design updates to be delivered to field crews rapidly after receipt • Eliminates mistakes on site caused by use of out of date information • Provides an effective means of managing data over the lifetime of projects, making it easy to find and recall

14. Grade Control Workflow Benefits of the Grade Control Workflow • Digital design data from the design engineer is loaded onto the in-cab control box on the machine • Eliminates costly mistakes from data reentry between the design engineer and grade control data prep specialist • Design data can be emailed to the Site Supervisor on the jobsite for delivery to the machine operators • Reduced travel to / from the site office to the machines • Allows design updates to be delivered to machines rapidly after receipt • Eliminates mistakes on site caused by use of out of date information • Onsite Site Supervisors can retrieve real-time production data • Reduce site measurement work by using machine data for productivity surface updates

15. Fleet Management Workflow Asset 'Dump Truck #2' triggered TCM alert 'Dump Truck leaves Depot' on Tuesday, May 02, 2006 7:44:49 AM. At address: 10 Main St, Denver, CO, 80305 Benefits of the Fleet Management Workflow • Users can customize TCM to match the needs of their specific job function • Owners: • ERP integration to streamline business systems and simplify day-to-day operations for employees • Financial Managers: • Actual equipment use by project for accurate accounting • Project Managers: • Cycle times, load counts, utilization for improved performance • Equipment Managers: • Automated preventative maintenance scheduling, longer asset life and lower risk of unscheduled down time
