Benefits of 3DBenefits of 3D--MCMC

• Increased Productivity• Increased Productivity

• Control of materials

•More accurate grading & results

• Reduced staking costs

• Use at all stages of construction• Use at all stages of construction

• In a word, “money”

Benefits of 3DBenefits of 3D--MCMC

Points have been drawn to represent  EP & CL  hubson regular station checks.  Can you tell what color the points are?points are?

Benefits of 3DBenefits of 3D--MCMC

What about now?  GPS Machine Control monitors the blade over the entire surface of the road, not just 

h k dd l lat station checks.  In addition, not only is cross slope monitored, but rise and fall (elevation) also…at all times…all done  automatically.y
