trimble asphalt paving Solutions

better from the ground up Today’s road projects require contractors to work faster, with better accuracy, and with tighter control on costs. For the paving contractor, that means no unplanned downtime, minimal material usage, and zero re-work. Trimble® paving solutions are designed for today’s competitive environment. Whether you are building a new road or resurfacing an old one, Trimble solutions will help you build a better surface, reduce material use, and significantly improve your productivity. The more you use Trimble paving solutions, the more productive and profitable your paving...

Trimble offers road building solutions from concept to creating a quality 3D design using Business Center – completion; from the initial design to the last pass of HCE software powered by Trimble. Then Trimble 3D grade the asphalt compactor. Using Business Center – Heavy control systems on your motor grader and soil compactor Construction Edition, Trimble 3D technology and the will help you achieve a more uniformly compacted VisionLink fleet and productivity solution, you can surface that’s right on grade. create a better final surface, whether it is on soil or For resurfacing an old road,...

3D Milling with Trimble PCS900 Milling to a fixed depth often satisfies the specification for a resurfacing project, but it leaves any road smoothness improvements to the paver. With Trimble PCS900 Paving Control System you can mill at variable depth and slope, eliminating undulations and preparing a smoother sub-surface for new asphalt. When used in conjunction with a paver equipped with PCS400 or PCS900, the end result is a significantly smoother road surface using less material and finished in less time. mill smarter Using PCS900 on your milling machine provides several benefits: •...

ACCURATE Milling. NO STRINGLINES Accurate milling begins with a quality 3D design model created in Business Center – HCE. The 3D design is displayed to the machine operator showing areas that are on, above, or below ideal grade. Comparing the actual drum position and slope with the digital design, the system automatically guides the milling drum to cut the ideal depth and slope without stringlines or manual adjustments. With PCS900 on your mill, you easily handle transitions, super-elevated curves, variable drainage slopes and longitudinal waves. And you can do it all without re-work. 3D...

a more uniform surface 2D Paving with Trimble PCS400 MANY BENEFITS FROM ONE SYSTEM The Trimble PCS400 system is ideal for projects that require Using the Trimble PCS400 system can help you: meeting a thickness specification. When milling is done to design • Lay the finished surface with accuracy to 0.01 feet (3 millimeters) using Trimble 3D technology, Trimble 2D paving technology can easily handle the task of paving a fixed thickness. The Trimble PCS400 Paving Control System can reference off a • Minimize use of expensive material... pave within a tighter tolerance and get closer to the...

REFERENCING OFF A SURFACE Each side of the paver is typically equipped with one sonic tracer or with three sonic tracers mounted on an averaging beam. These sonic tracers send multiple sonic signals to reference off the existing surface and calculate an average elevation for paving a smooth surface. REFERENCING OFF STRINGLINE The ST200 Sonic Tracer can be configured to use stringline as a reference line to control the paver. In this mode the sonic tracer will measure any lateral movement of the machine relative Trimble Result PCS400 AVERAGING BEAM AND SONIC TRACERS to the stringline. When...

3D Paving with Trimble PCS900 AVOID THE PROBLEMS OF STRINGLINE The Trimble PCS900 Paving Control System adds the accuracy 3D technology resolves the problems inherent to stringline because: and flexibility of 3D technology and allows you to also pave with • It eliminates time consuming and costly manual setup and possible variable depth and slope based on the 3D design. human errors If you already have a Trimble PCS900 Paving Control System on your grading or milling machine, you can re-deploy the same display, machine target, and total station for your paver. • It eliminates the...

PRECISION PAVING WITH LESS MATERIAL GOOD DESIGNS MAKE GOOD SURFACES The PCS900 system regularly achieves asphalt mat accuracies of 0.01-0.02 feet Data preparation and management for asphalt (3-6 millimeters), making it ideal for projects such as airports, large commercial surfaces paving projects is easy with Business Center – HCE. and highways. Using Business Center – HCE, you can create 3D Accurate 3D control of the screed allows you to: design models and automatically generate • Take out high and low areas early in the process with the less expensive materials uncompacted surface designs...

The asphalt compactor is the last machine to pass over your Pass count mapping in the CCS900 system allows you to monitor the paving project, and mistakes during this phase can be very costly number of passes over an area and adjust your effort to avoid over or to fix. You can significantly reduce the need for re-work by under-compaction. installing the Trimble CCS900 Compaction Control System on your asphalt compactors. Using the roof-mounted GNSS receiver or machine target, the system calculates the exact position of the machine and displays a color map The CCS900 system...

REPORTING AND DOCUMENTATION In-field reporting and an in-cab printer allow on-site supervisors and quality managers to monitor compaction operations and correct possible issues immediately. Compaction data logs can be wirelessly transferred from the machine to the office for analysis using the web-based VisionLink fleet, asset and productivity management solution from Trimble. Monitoring Compaction in VisionLink For longer term analysis of compaction operations and productivity enhancements, VisionLink 3D Project Monitoring lets you: • Continuously monitor pass counts and compaction meter...
