Improving operating efficiency through technology is no longer a revolutionary idea … it’s absolutely necessary if you want your business to survive say industry leaders Trimble, MOBA, Topcon and Leica Geosystems.
MOBA is aiming to improve paving quality and cut contractor’s costs with its sophisticated heat measuring package for asphalt pavers, as well as its new sonic ski system. Called the PAVE-IR, this heat measuring system provides accurate temperature scanning and monitoring of mat temperature during asphalt paving. This can be documented for an entire project and allow contractors to optimise processes and verify the quality of paving work. Marketing manager Christine Seidel said, “The early generation system
Machine control technologies are increasingly popular in the concrete slipforming sector according to Power Curbers, while the firm also continues to broaden its array of customer options.

The new KALMATRON concrete addtitive is said to reduce the risk of problems such as shrinkage cracks, leaking, flaking, slab curling and cracking due to freeze thaw cycles. According to the producer, Kalmatron Corporation, KALMATRON is highly versatile as it is a water reducer, plasticiser, waterproofing and shrinkage controlling agent, curing compound, corrosion inhibitor, cement class upgrading and high early strength admixture.
