What is Stringless Paving? § Alternative to conventional
stringline paving. § Uses electronic guidance
systems to replace pins, sensors, and “stringline.”
§ Electronic guidance system controls elevation and steering of the paving machine(s).
§ Sometimes referred to as 3D paving.

Some of the Benefits of Stringless Paving • Eliminates labor intensive stringline
surveying for hubs and stakes. • Reduces opportunities to introduce
surveying errors. • Reduces overall preparation time on
the grade. • Places engineer’s design directly into
machine(s). • Controls elevation, slope, and steer of
machines with truer input. • Reduces or eliminates cords created
by stringline hubs/pins. • Reduces wave patterns introduced by
improperly tensioned stringline sensors. • Increases phasing and traffic control
pattern considerations.

Stringless Components
• In the Field: § Control Points. § Instruments (Robotic
Total Stations, GPS Base Station or Lasers).
§ Radios.

• On the Machine: § Computer & Software. § Dual Axis Slope Sensors. § Masts.
§ If Using Total Station Control: � Radios � 360o Prisms
§ If Using GPS Control: � GPS Receiver
§ If Using Laser Control: � Laser Receiver
How the Components Talk to One Another � All components
networked together on CANBus.
� “Internet for machines”
� Each message has unique ID so only the component that needs it will read it.

Future of Construction • Stringless/GPS integration into joint layout and sawing operations?
• Saw + seal in one single operation?
• Manufacturers don’t reveal new ideas until patents are filed and its ready…

Decision Points in Pavement Type Selection • Historically, initial cost has driven pavement type selection
• Other factors are increasingly important, but cost is still king

Competition Pays Dividends to the Owner (and TAXPAYERS) • A complex relationship exists
between number of bidders, volume of market, unit price of materials, etc.
• However, there is a clear trend of lower prices for both pavements with increasing levels of competition
• Variability in unit prices also decreases with increasing competition
• Owners can purchase more pavements with the same investment!

• Quantifies CO2 and other environmental
impacts of a specific pavement section in a specific location similar to how LCCA does $
• The end result is extremely dependent on: � Pavement section, cut/fill, etc. � Materials used, recycled content, by-product usage,
hauling distance, etc. � Use phase: color of surface can impact lighting,
rigidity of the surface impacts fuel usage, etc.
• There is no GENERAL answer to this!
