Intelligent Compaction (from Mike G)

2010-01-14T14:06:00.000-08:00

Intelligent Compaction is definitely needs attention in future work involving rovers. It seems there are more "yes" than "no". This method would be especially effective on the big grading jobs where special compaction would be required. Or where client would specified standard compaction number. Potential problem in utilizing IC is that contractor on many occasions using heavy pneumatic tire equipment to achieve compaction. Overcompaction/Undercompaction is a problem and IC would address it the best. I think it would benefit Kapur to initiate meeting with manufacturer's rep at US41 office. DOT staff and other companies staff involved in US41 should be invited. US41 will have a rover (or should have a rover by contract).

IC could also be played as emissions reducer.

7 Things Needed to Implement 3D in the CM World

2010-01-14T08:21:00.000-08:00

Rover on every CM Project
Model for every CM Project
Smart Phones and Netbooks in the hands of employees who need them
A project website & GIS for every CM Project
Additional Software / Programmer on staff to handle tracking / efficiency and ability to provide data in real time
Create and foster Design/Build Relationships
Upper management support and willingnes to invest
