Whilst resurfacing RAF Leeming over the Summer of 2024 we took the opportunity to apply and promote the wider adoption of several new technologies and processes, resulting in operational efficiencies and improved safety outcomes.
Quick, accurate and the engineer operating from a place of safety (and avoided a sore back from bending down constantly).
Setting out direct from digital design model resulted in a three to five hours saving per shift.
Generated a full 3D points cloud model of the existing surfaces using LiDAR in four hours rather than four days by conventional surveying.
Accurate GPS automated milling against the model that ensures surfacing depths are as per the design.
No extra surfacing = reduced CO2
Continually capturing temperatures, compaction, laying records and material specification and uploading seamlessly into client asset system.
No technicians were required to walk around the plant to take temperatures or samples.
HDS data technology on pavers and rollers has been consistently used on Scottish trunk roads since 2023. Could be used in England.
Profile planning has been used in Scotland on the A9 Dalwhinnie (1,500t) Oct 2024. This could be utilised on National Highways but requires ECI.
