On the longest all-concrete oval in NASCAR, grip changes without warning. Drivers adapt as heat warps the air over the track, and sweat clings to skin in the thick humidity. With the whine of tires singing across concrete and the twang of steel guitars drifting from open doors, one thing is clear: Nashville moves to its own beat. Living and working in “Music City” is a dance and everyone, from a driver on the track to a worker on a jobsite, has learned the steps to keep it humming. All it takes is the right technology, and “a cup of ambition”.
The new “Nashville Skyline”
The rapid expansion of the Nashville skyline means new jobs, new homes and new opportunities for locals. Nowhere is that more visible than the Gulch, where Yates Construction is delivering Society Nashville, a walkable live-work-play hub. A project this massive can fall out of tune in a hundred small ways: a delayed delivery, a missed handoff, a budget slip that ripples through the schedule. With Trimble technology, Yates keeps every crew reading from the same sheet so that the neighborhood opens on time, delivering the jobs and homes Nashville has been waiting for.
“Plans were drawn and concrete poured”
Before new towers can rise or community parks can open, the physical groundwork for the city's growth must be set. Local firm Reed Civil Construction handles the mass excavation and grading that creates the foundation for Nashville’s booming neighborhoods. As the first in and last out on a job site, their crews set the tempo for the entire build. Executing this groundwork with absolute speed and accuracy, Reed relies on precision-driven Trimble technology. When the grade is perfect the first time, the payoff shows up years later in the benefits residents don’t have to think about: foundations that hold and streets that drain in the heaviest downpours.
“Every road in this here land”
Looking to the future, Nashville voters recently chose to fundamentally improve how 2.4 million residents move by investing $163 million to modernize local transit. Now, the heavy lifting falls to the Nashville Department of Transportation (NDOT) and the road crews executing miles of road upgrades and signal modernizations. NDOT and engineering partner KCI keep this infrastructure overhaul from missing a beat by running daily operations through Trimble technology. Every pothole report, every burned-out signal, every service request becomes a tracked task in the hands of the right crew. The upgrades Nashville voted for stay perfectly aligned with the streets, neighborhoods and commutes that depend on them.
