A4 Services background began in the early 2000s when Michael was working for a large highway contractor. GPS machine control technology was just beginning to establish itself in the area and the company wanted to be an early adopter of this technology. Armed with two days of “data prep” training Michael was tasked with modeling a four-mile highway project along with a 120-acre site development project at the same time. While there were many “bumps in the road” learning the technology, ultimately both projects were completed ahead of time and under budget due to the increased efficiency machine control technology offered. At the same time, Michael found a challenge in learning how this new technology worked, tricks to improve the accuracy of the data produced, and other ways to use the technology in addition to mass earthmoving.
Soon after, Michael was approached by a local grading contractor looking to move into machine control and asked if we would consider building some models for them. Never one to say no, we agreed to help them with at least their first couple of sites so they could get their program off the ground. They soon found out this was a valuable tool and began adding more machines and rovers to their fleet and the demand for data prep continued to grow. From these humble beginnings word spread and soon we were getting calls from other contractors, equipment dealers, and specialty contractors wanting to know if we could help with their data prep needs.
