SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR EXCAVATION

A construction equipment including an implement is disclosed. The construction equipment includes a laser reading unit removably mounted on a construction equipment body. The laser reading unit may read a laser signal projected by a laser projecting unit and establish a reference point. The reference point may be a point at which the laser reading unit reads the laser signal projected by the laser projecting unit. The construction equipment further includes an altimeter that may measure a height of the implement relative to the reference point. The altimeter may be a non-pressurized system that includes a fluid to measure the height of the implement relative to the reference point.
