Target Customer

General Contractors – medium to large sized companies

Paving Specialists doing production paving Many are medium sized companies Often as a sub for a general contractor

Rental houses Most compactors are rented for the first few years

Goals for Asphalt Compactors Goal of asphalt contractors =

achieve the target mat densityas efficiently as possible

What does that mean:– Minimize number of rollers by running most

efficient rolling pattern – Minimize fuel usage– Avoid over-compaction– Avoid under-compaction– Avoid re-work

Customer issues with asphalt compaction: Passcount Tracking To reach desired compaction, the compactor

operator needs to achieve a certain pass count target.

However:– With a requirement of up to 8 passes, the operator

easily loses track and the job becomes guesswork– The contractor cannot monitor compaction

performance and cannot verify accurate completion of the compaction job

Customer issues with asphalt compaction: Passcount Tracking Tracking the pass count without CCS900

shows the huge inconsistency in pass count Result:

– Inconsistent density– Under compaction– Over compaction– Penalties, missed bonuses, premature road failure

and legal issues

Example:PassCount

Customer issues with asphalt compaction: Asphalt Temperature You can only compact asphalt

within the 80-160 ºC (175-320F)

surface temperature window– Below 80ºC*: material too hard to

compact, possible to crush surface– Above: 160ºC*: material too soft

and can be displaced

It’s an art for the operator to correctly judge the optimal time window for compaction

Example limited time window(50mm thick, delivery temp, 135ºC)

*: Temperature values can differ dependent on mix type and equipment used

Adding Science to the Art of Paving

Better Info to the Operator = Better Surface

The CCS900 system provides: – Pass count maps to avoid over/undercompaction– Real-time temperature maps for the operator to find the

optimal window for compaction– Documentation of compaction effort across the entire project– Verifiable as-built information for sign-off and payment

Pass Count Mapping Takes the guesswork out of asphalt

compaction– More consistent compaction effort to target pass

count– Increased productivity to taking the most efficient

rolling pattern

Temperature Mapping

New Trimble IS310 Infrared Sensor One front, one rear facing

Leading sensor active

Replaceable lens

Temperature Mapping New Trimble IS310 Infrared Sensor

Provide temperature maps for a user definable min and max value

User defined high/low temp warnings are displayed over the machine icon Operator can watch pass counts and temp warnings on the

same screen

In-field reporting

Proofing mode and summary – On-machine validation of final

compaction runs – Increases the quality of the final

compacted material

In-field reporting– Get real-time summary of work

completed– Print in-field with thermal printer for

sign-off and approval

Office Reporting: Trimble SiteVision® Office v7.41 and it’s Compaction Module New SiteVision Office v7.41 release to support

CCS900 v11.3 and v12.0 SiteVision Office v7 features:

Summary customer benefits

Increased rolling productivity, lower O&O cost

– By choosing more efficient rolling patterns and reducing rework

Quality Control– Through in-field reporting and office

synchronization

Improved layer quality– By taking the guess work out– Operator can verify if pass count targets has

been achieved within the appropriate temperature window

Unique benefits of Trimble CCS900

Trimble Ready configuration– Upgradeable and Portable to any machine brand

and type*

SITECH and Trimble expertise and support Affordable

– within customer’s reserve price for a more cost sensitive machine

*: For other machine types an option key would need to be purchased
