First explain how contractors get to the design required for the 3D operation
For many projects there is a design (e.g. new roads)
For others, like mills-and-fill projects there is not. Here you can use the surface created by the previous machine operation (mill, compactor) or if unknown, use SPS to capture the surface model.

15. PCS900 Applications and Solutions

16. What is the target customer for 3D Paving?
Target: Road Contractor or Specialist Paving Contractor for roads, airports, and commercial surfaces

17. What do we solve for these target customers?
Customer Issue: Lay material where there is no reference surface
Large surfaces and laying base
Benefit 3D Paving: Eliminate the stringlines!
The only reason customer a Chicago customer used 3D paving was to eliminate the stringlines. Customer was not doing variable depth paving. He was laying a 6”, a 4” and a 2” layer at an airport..

18. What do we solve for these target customers?
Customer Issue: Take out long longitudinal roadwaves and longitudinal high and low spots
E.g. Road renewal
Benefit 3D Paving:
Increases road smoothness, using less asphalt and time than with traditional 2D methods
No stakes
One customer about his paving airport project:
“On airport jobs: want you to hit grade. On highways hitting grade not as critical. The last airport job was mill and fill – milling a fixed thickness and paving a variable thickness to get to grade. However mostly the spec is to mill to the original concrete surface which has a variable grade. For the mill 3D cannot be used because normally you just mill down to the original concrete surface. One guy would check that the mill cuts just at concrete level and you will be adjusting the ski all the time. If you hit concrete, you can feel it.”

19. Issue of laying a mat on a long longitudinal road wave with 2D Paving
Original Surface (long longitudinal roadwaves)
Surface after paving to design or with a 2D system
Surface after rolling

20. Take out long longitudinal roadwaves with 3D Paving
Original Surface (long longitudinal roadwaves)
3D Paved Surface (using the differential design)
New road
design with
compaction
factor (~1.25)
3D Paved & Compacted Surface Surface (differential compaction)

21. What do we solve for these target customers?
Customer Issue: Lay complex designs like transitions and super-elevated curves
E.g. roads and large surfaces (drainage angles)
Benefit 3D Paving:
Increase productivity, accuracy and smoothness while minimizing asphalt usage
Example: Australian project
Guide Policy for Geometric Design of Freeways and Expressways - NAASRA 1976

22. Summary: What the PCS400 and PCS900 solve for the contractor
Obtain smoothness and/or accuracy bonus
Minimizing asphalt used
Finish on time
Downtime means high cost
Operating without reference
High cost of stakes
Fixing longitudinal unevenness
Pave/Mill complex designs
