5. 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

6. Goals for Asphalt Compactors
Goal of asphalt contractors = achieve the target mat density as 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

7. 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

8. 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:
Pass
Count

9. Customer issues with asphalt compaction: Asphalt Temperature
You can only compact asphalt within the ºC ( F) 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

10. 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

11. 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

12. Temperature Mapping New Trimble IS310 Infrared Sensor
One front, one rear facing
Leading sensor active
Replaceable lens

13. 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

14. In-field reporting Proofing mode and summary In-field reporting
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

15. Office Reporting: Trimble SiteVision® Office v7
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:
Data referenced to job site coordinates
Pass count, Compaction meter value
Detailed data views and analysis
Design and compaction data archival
Temperature mapping - release v7.42 with the Trimble IS310 launch

16. As Built Mapping Cut / Fill Coverage Mapping Productivity reporting
