比利时的建筑道路，带有3D无弦铺路

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.

“We were a bit concerned if our workers could learn to work with the new system,”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.”

The company’s Wirtgen SP15 curb and gutter machine was equipped with the LeicaiCON pave solutionwith thenew innovative 1UP configurationfor 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。The paving machine came into work just after the excavator had finished the earthworks, and, after data upload, it was ready for the job. This was particularly important because the street residents had no access to their houses during the construction works, and the3D paving solution from Leica Geosystems helped to reduce project time。

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

The1UP configuration combines the dual GNSS system with a total station and prism system。The GNSS system controls the heading of the machine whereas the prism/total station system controls the slope and elevation of the machine’s mould with millimetre precision. This configuration, combining thehigh precision总站和Prism配置的整体配置是使用GNSS控制机器方向的GNS的最重要的，并允许客户：

• Simplify the installation
• Reduce the setup time
• Save costs because fewer total stations are needed, and the RTK corrections of the GNSS system are not required.

“The most important question for us was: ‘How flexible is the system?'”says De Backer.“Because of this, we decided to go for a GPS and TPS combination. When working in a tunnel, we use two total stations, but when we are just driving in the open field, we use GPS for the direction and total station for the height.”

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.

Designed for even the harshest of environments

The solution included the new ruggedMCP80通过IP66和IP67评级认证的面板，这意味着它是protected against dust and water penetration。This is especially important for a solution for curb and gutter machines that does not have a cabin and where the panel is mounted on the machine, subject to the elements like the dusty environment that is typical for paving jobs. Thelarge colour touch-screenis designed for easy navigation andcan be used even in direct sunlight。

Leica MC1 for paving solutions

The machine control solution for Aclagro’s curb and gutter machine was delivered with the newLeica MC1软件是Leica Geosystems的新一代机机控制平台。MC1是所有软件解决方案to guide and automate all iCON solutions leading to a simplified workflow。MC1软件现已发布针对整个图标路段的发布，包括土壤压实机，混凝土摊铺机，沥青摊铺机和铣床。新软件有一个uncluttered and user-friendly interfacewith the most important functions put forward.

对于路缘和天沟机，面板中的快速访问键允许操作员能够change height offset easily with the touch of a fingerand without leaving the run screen that has been set up with the exact preference for the operator.

The integration withLeica ConX，基于云的数据共享工具，允许简单的数据传输实时往返机器并为客户提供机会远程支持。

“The 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.

Building on more than 20 years of experience with 3D stringless paving solutions, technological developments like the automatic leap frog, the 1UP configuration and the new MC1 software platform prove that Leica Geosystems continues leading 3D solutions for the paving industry.
