Road Design System (RDS) & Data Collection

Survey Profiler

As the refurbishment and upgrading of major road networks become increasingly complex, pavement rehabilitation (particularly the applying of an overlay) has become a primary financial consideration in resources that are made to road authorities. Engineers are required to incorporate quality overlay designs that will improve rideability, as well as complying with changing standards and requirements. Until now, engineers have had few automated systems to help them achieve this objective. Most systems have been considered complex, time consuming, and expensive. 

For over 20 years PAVESET and its associated companies have built a reputation in the road building industry, both in Australia and overseas. As specialists in survey and paving contracting, we have developed products to assist surveyors and contractors cut operating costs and maintain quality. We now introduce an affordable PRODUCT and SYSTEMS PACKAGE which will provide significant cost savings in survey and level control associated with overlay projects. 

PAVESET...... 3 ways to MAXIMIZE  YOUR OVERLAY DOLLAR.

 

Paveset ES2000 Profilograph Paveset RDS (Road Design) PAVESET - GRADE CONTROL

The trailer mounted sensor beams can be towed behind any vehicle, automatically plotting level and crossfall changes. Gathering cross sectional information every 12.5 feet longitudunally and 5 feet transversely, the data is stored into the computer at a speed of 5 MPH. A plot of the surface profile and cross sections can be produced by the software. This system also meets all profilograph specifications.

The overall design program uses the ES2000 data or alternative survey elevations to produce a final overlay design. Using a predetermined design criteria of crossfalls, grade change, and minimum/maximum depths, RDS provides a detailed listing of all design depths and the material tonnage required. We also provide software which enables clients to view RDS crossfall and cross-section data.                                                                     

The final design depths produced by RDS can now be interfaced with the computerized grade controller. Connected to the paver, this provides automatic screed level control without the need to set-up string lines, and provides an accurate and quality overlay. Material can be placed with no reduction in output rates to the contractor.
