The Basics

What is Leica PaveSmart 3D?

Leica PaveSmart 3D is the most advanced paving control system from Europe’s leading machine control innovator. Leica PaveSmart 3D precisely regulates the elevation, slope and steering of the slipform paver using robust sensor technology. Integrating seamlessly with the pavers hydraulic control system, the concrete product is produced with speed and precision, on a clutter-free jobsite with less setup and teardown costs, with inreased jobsite safety.

Why go “Stringless”?

Because stringlines…

 

• are expensive, time-consuming and error-prone to install.
• can be easily damaged during paving
• can be easily misaligned
• can be a significant site safety hazard
• interfere with site logistics, increase concrete delivery  time, haulage costs, and reduce productivity.
• require pre-production planning & increase survey effort/cost
• don’t always “model” the designed surface accurately

 

The 3D Advantage

Providing a precise, smooth, accurate curb for new asphalt is crucial for the quality, rideability, service life and whole-life costs of the new asphalt surface. 

Work of this nature traditionally requires pre-survey, hubs and data to be provided to the stringline crew. Installing stringline for curb applications is costly and time-consuming, especially for tight radius work. This layer of data interpretation can lead to mistakes, significantly increasing remedial costs. With Leica PaveSmart 3D, machine steer, elevation and cross slope are automatically controlled without stringlines. The system will also improve operational safety on site and increases productivity, accuracy and efficiency.

Benefits...

 

• Use digital 3D data directly from the original design - No staking-out and stringline setup errors!
• Eliminates most setting-out costs - no stakes, hubs or stringlines required.
• Easier jobsite logistics - Work easier in narrow work corridors
• No waiting on surveyors, stringline crews, and grade checkers etc.
• Improved machine productivity - Work anywhere you have data, not where the stringlines happen to be ready for.
• Increased safety - No more ‘trip hazards’, ideal for hazardous worksites.
• Increased productivity - More work done right the first time, and faster!

Option 1

Curb & Gutter Setup

The curb and gutter system is perfect for smooth and precise formations. Whether you need to complete complex transitions or precise levelling of concrete, the Leica PaveSmart 3D is perfect for you.

 

 

Option 2

Dual Prism Setup

The dual prism setup delivers super-accurate machine control for all-track-steer paers. It represents the most accurate control system which is flexible enough for most applications. It combines a robust and rugged design which will achieve precision concrete surface finishes. Based on open system standards, the system is compatible with a wide range of paving manufacturers.

 

Option 3

GNSS Assist

The GNSS assist option combines increased flexibility with sub-centimetre accuracy. It combines a robust and rugged design which will achieve precision material finishes, even on the most complex paving application. The system is compatible with the widest range of paving machinery on the market, and can significantly speed-up concrete paving projects.
