Use data to gather intelligence and be more efficient: Get on track for a brighter future

January 30, 2023

Successful contractors are employing connected construction technology to track where and when their road surface mix is being made, to predict when it will arrive on site, and to make sure their autonomous paving machinery is ready and waiting for it to arrive. Use pro-active maintenance. Prevent disruption to your project schedule. Track your productivity in real time and make the right decisions. The future is bright and its already here, say three leading experts on machine control.

    Research in the US has shown that using Intelligent Compaction (IC) for quality control purposes can lead to longer-lasting pavements and therefore lower whole life costs. Now the major roller manufacturers are investing heavily in developing new technologies that will meet emerging specifications in the States. “It may take five to ten years but I think that IC will be widely used for both soils, aggregate base and asphalt pavement materials in the US,” said Bob Horan, senior regional engineer at the Asph
