Paving control package for concrete or asphalt pavers

Leica Geosystems has launched v3.0 of its Leica PaveSmart 3D system, which is designed specifically for concrete and asphalt paving and milling applications. This upgraded package is now said to support a wider range of paving equipment and applications than before. PaveSmart 3D v3.0 will be available late March 2012 through Leica Geosystems’ direct sales and approved paving solution distribution channels, including GOMACO.

265 Leica Geosystems has launched v3.0 of its Leica PaveSmart 3D system, which is designed specifically for concrete and asphalt paving and milling applications. This upgraded package is now said to support a wider range of paving equipment and applications than before. PaveSmart 3D v3.0 will be available late March 2012 through Leica Geosystems’ direct sales and approved paving solution distribution channels, including 218 Gomaco.

Designed specifically for paving contractors, PaveSmart 3D v3.0 offers all-track grade and steering for slipform and roller-compacted concrete paving and placing. It can also be used in asphalt paving and milling, fine-grade trimming and surface mining applications. With operators in mind, PaveSmart 3D v3.0 is said to offer advances in ease of use, 3D design capabilities, setup and configuration for multiple pieces of equipment to make field crews more productive and self-managing.

This system helps maintain flexible jobsite layouts and improve jobsite logistics and operate easier in challenging jobsite environments such as narrow-width, urban and underground projects. The PaveSmart 3D system tracks the position of the paving machine in real-time, in relation to a 3D model of the jobsite, automatically regulating steer and elevation hydraulics to produce the finished concrete or asphalt product directly from the original 3D designs.

Using Leica Geosystems’ robotic total stations and GPS, Leica PaveSmart 3D v3.0 extends Leica Geosystems’ X-Function data modelling and sharing concept to contracting. Job design data can be generated at the start of the project, then can be shared between any CAD system, and Leica Geosystems’ surveying and machine control equipment on the jobsite. PaveSmart 3D v3.0 is the result of 13 years research, development and client satisfaction on hundreds of high-profile infrastructure projects worldwide.

    Stringless concrete paving systems are easy to use for contractors - Daniel C Brown. With just a few days of training, Hawkins Construction is now up and running with stringless concrete paving technology. This year Hawkins started using the stringless technology on two Interstate highway paving projects, with a total contract value of US$78 million. The projects were on I-80 between Omaha and Lincoln, Nebraska and the first section was for a 9.25km, 18.3m wide stretch of 330mm thick concrete pavement.

    Wirtgen is introducing a new concrete paver range, the SP90 series. These models will replace the existing SP80 series as well as the SP850. Four basic models have been announced at present, the SP92, SP92i, SP94 and SP94i, although with the range of options and features available, the capabilities offered will be extensive. Paving widths for the machines now range from 2-9.5m, increasing the maximum width and allowing these units to handle a wider array of slipforming tasks than the earlier SP80 Series mod
