Trimble CCS900 Compaction Control System

GCS900 Compactor Features:
The Trimble? CCS900 Compaction Control System is the first satellite-based positioning solution to offer contractors the ability to compact surface material to a target density and check finished grade accuracy in the same process. Using the advanced Trimble satellite-based positioning sensors and the powerful on-machine software of Trimble GCS900 Grade Control System version 10.7, it extends the Trimble 3D grade control family to include soil and sub-surface material compaction for tandem rollers and single smooth drum and padfoot rollers. Compaction is critical to the earthworks process. Earthworks projects require that sub-surface material is compacted to a target density in order to achieve an increased durability, stability, and load-bearing capacity. Contractors are required to provide detailed documentation that project specifications of target compaction levels have been met. Manual collection of random samples of compacted material is inefficient and not representative of material density levels of the entire project. Contractors now require advanced capability on the machine that collects and documents comprehensive, real-time compaction data. That information can later be analyzed in the office to generate detailed reports and documentation necessary to meet stringent project documentation deliverables. The Trimble GCS900 on a dozer with the Trimble SPS930 or SPS730 Universal Total Station is ideal for contractors who need the flexibility to move from site to site frequently, work in confined spaces, or perform high-precision grading with their dozer. The total station allows contractors who operate independently or frequently move between projects to move both the dozer and the Trimble GCS900 Grade Control System from site to site quickly and easily. For jobs where GPS is not a viable technology, such as in urban canyons, heavily treed areas, or on job sites with numerous overhead obstructions such as overpasses, the total station offers a 3D grading solution. The Trimble Compaction Control System provides continuous compaction control for contractors that require advanced compaction measurement capability, display and mapping of compaction measurements in real time, and on-machine documentation of compaction results.
