Leica PaveSmart 3D v3.0 launched World of Concrete 2012

23/01/2012

Leica Geosystems has used the World of Concrete 2012 trade event to launch v3.0 of its Leica PaveSmart 3D system, which supports a wider range of paving equipment and applications than ever before.

The system, which will be available from late March, remains the only 3D fully-automated all-track grade and steer system designed specifically for concrete and asphalt paving and milling applications. It allows contractors to eliminate the intensive work involved in the surveying and setting out of stringlines, cutting time of projects while making them more precise than ever.

The major advances in v3.0 include improving the system’s user-friendliness, offering 3D design capabilities, and providing setup and configuration option for multiple pieces of equipment, giving crucial independence and improved productivity to crews in the field.

The system uses Leica’s world-class robotic total stations and GPS devices to extend the brand’s X-Function data modelling and sharing concept to the contracting world, requiring that information and job data only needs to be gathered once, when a project first begins. From then on it can be seamlessly shared between any CAD system, and any other Leica Geosystems’ surveying and machine control equipment on the jobsite

The new PaveSmart 3D allows for more competitive bidding, for greater flexibility on jobsites, and to ease logistics and provide easier operation, particularly in restricted paving areas, such as railway tracks, tunnels and gutters.
