Behind the Push to Automated Grade Controls

The evidence is conclusive. Global positioning systems (GPSs) and automated grading controls offer a way to take your earthmoving productivity to the next level. Some contractors say, and seriously so, that these systems cut their production times in half, compared to grading by stakes. And such systems are the precursor to stringless paving, which is coming in the near future. more
