Building roads in Belgium with 3D stringless paving

Author:Karina Lumholt

Aclagroin Belgium is a company specialised in infrastructure projects and currently employs 350 people in Belgium and France. Aclagro decided to automate their concrete slipform paving machine and chose Leica Geosystems solutions as the company has been trusting Leica Geosystems for many years.

“我们有点担心我们的工人是否可以学会与新系统合作，”explains Yves De Backer, foreman at Aclagro.“But, after a few weeks, our people were quite familiar with the new system. The machine is now so easy to set up and operate, and the possibilities are almost unlimited.”

这company’s Wirtgen SP15 curb and gutter machine was equipped with the LeicaiCON pave solutionwith the新的创新1UP配置for a road ramp building project in a suburban area in Aalter located between Bruges and Ghent in Belgium. Theworkflow from earthworks to curb and gutter paving went seamlessly。在挖掘机完成土方工程之后，铺路机开始工作，并且在数据上传后，它已经准备好工作了。这尤其重要，因为街头居民在建筑工程中无法进入他们的房屋，Leica Geosystems的3D铺路解决方案有助于减少项目时间。

Leica iCON pave with 1UP – the best of two worlds

这1UP configuration combines the dual GNSS system with a total station and prism system。GNSS系统控制机器的标题，而Prism/Total Station系统则以毫米精度控制机器模具的斜率和高程。这种配置，结合了high precisionof the total station and the prism configuration, is paramount for paving jobs with GNSS controlling the direction of the machine and allowed the customer to:

• Simplify the installation
• Reduce the setup time
• 节省成本是因为需要更少的总站，并且不需要GNSS系bob apple统的RTK校正。

“对我们来说，最重要的问题是：“系统有多灵活？”透明says De Backer.“因此，我们决定选择GPS和TPS组合。在隧道中工作时，我们使用两个总站，但是当我们只是在空旷的地方开车时，我们将bob appleGPS用于高度的方向和总站。”

3D stringless paving was invented more than 20 years ago by Leica Geosystems。Avoiding the physical stringlinesincreases safety on sitebecause people are no longer stumbling over stringlines and fewer workers are required on site.

甚至是为最恶劣的环境而设计的

这solution included the new ruggedMCP80panel certified with IP66 and IP67 ratings, meaning it isprotected against dust and water penetration。这对于没有机舱的路缘和排水沟机器的解决方案以及安装在机器上的面板的解决方案尤其重要，但要遵守诸如铺路工作的典型环境之类的元素。这大型触摸屏专为轻松导航而设计即使在阳光直射中也可以使用。

Leica MC1for paving solutions

Aclagro的路缘和天沟机的机器控制解决方案已通过新的Leica MC1software, the new generation on-machine control platform from Leica Geosystems. MC1 is the one-for-all software solutionto guide and automate all iCON solutions leading to a simplified workflow。MC1 software has now been released for the entire iCON road segment, including soil compactors, concrete pavers, asphalt pavers and milling machines. The new software has an整洁且用户友好的界面最重要的功能。

For the curb and gutter machine, the quick access keys in the panel allow the operator tochange height offset easily with the touch of a finger并且不留下已设置的运行屏幕，对操作员的确切偏好。

这integration withLeica Conx, the cloud-based data sharing tool, allows foreasy data transfer to and from the machine in real timeand gives the customer the opportunity ofremote support。

“这machine can be checked remotely, which is for us a big benefit for us. We won’t have to lose a lot of time when we have problems on a job site,”concludes Yves.

以3D无弦铺路解决方案，诸如自动Leap Frog，1UP配置和新的MC1软件平台（新的MC1软件平台）的技术开发的经验为基础20多年的经验，这证明Leica Geosystems继续为铺路行业提供领先的3D解决方案。
