Are you afraid that A.I. will take over the world of Asphalt Paving?

Unlike other forms of A.I., such as self-driving cars, autonomous asphalt paving machines are far from Industry Domination.

Technology has revolutionized the commercial paving industry, from the popular GPS-assisted Google Earth to sensors on compaction machines. Today's technology can help companies estimate jobs more accurately, set grades and adjust machine heights easily, and read compaction levels to ensure compliance.

This episode emphasizes the best ways to use technology to win bigger bids and deliver higher-grade quality jobs and why skilled workers must do the job correctly despite these advancements.

• [00:00:55] The speakers introduce the topic of technology in commercial paving, including artificial intelligence and Google Earth.

• Bidding a Job [00:01:05 - 00:01:47], The speakers discuss how technology is used to bid on a job, including using Google Earth to get a layout of the area. Before, you had to go out and measure a job which takes time and money, but now you can quickly find basic information using Google Earth.

• [00:04:02] Find out how the B&M Builder Team uses Topcon, a system that goes onto the paver and uses lasers and artificial intelligence to set grades for the paving and adjust the machine's height automatically, senses curb and gutters. Find out what else we use Topcon to do.

• [00:06:42] The speakers discuss the importance of compaction in paving and how newer rollers have GPS or other technology built to track compaction. They also discuss Transtech, a non-nuclear compaction tester that uses electronic waves to read compaction faster than traditional nuclear gauges. GPS technology for compaction machines

• [00:08:55] Technology can help. However, attention to detail is still vital--Listen as Sacremento's #1 Asphalt and Paving Company uses compaction machines and how they use GPS technology.

• [00:09:37] Proper compaction for asphalt paving can prevent alligator cracking and potholes down the road. Find out what other preventative maintenance measures are essential for asphalt paving.

• [00:11:57] We've tested these machines' accuracy and the test they generate--How accurate is the technology vs. traditional methods? Find out here and learn how we meet the demands of clients and provide documentation using technology.

• [00:12:45] Have a paving project you need to get underway? Listen here to learn how we can help.
