How many people out there are using TBC on a regular basis? What are some of the features that benefit in the heavy civil world? Thanks for your thoughts.

BENEFITS? Cue the crickets.

For Civil applications there are better choices.

You did see where he said Heavy Civil, right?

If using trimble machine control then this is obviously your only choice. I find the surface building functions very reliable and accurate for corridor grading. Building templates and alignment are cake.

I use it daily to process RTK, static, and Pipelines data, it works fine for that. It will also do a passable job on field-to-finish if you take the time to set it up and learn it, although I don't presently use it for that. The least squares adjustment is a little weak in some areas but is good enough for the rare occasions that I need it - I've taken to processing static networks in OPUS Projects here lately, but I still run it through TBC as a check.

If you run a lot of Trimble GPS and/or data collectors it's handy to have.
