| GCS: Pipe makes advanced
drainage design possible. Traverse a path with GCS: Pipe to generate
the local topography to calculate a lay
or use GCS: Topo to rapidly topo
the entire site and use that data to lay out a plan on a map in
advance with GCS: Pipe. No flagging is required - when you are ready
to begin, GCS: Pipe calculates the most efficient depth from your
plan and any pre-rip passes and displays needed adjustments for
the operator. For further automation, the plow can be driven automatically
with machine control equipment and GCS:
Control.
Other Notable Features
- Curved paths as easy to lay as straight paths with computerized
pipelaying.
- The best invert fit for every tile line installed is calculated
to contractor specifications: minimum and maximum slope, desired
optimum tile depth, and others.
- If using a laser exclusively, depth can be controlled even
if the grade of the laser is the opposite of the pass. If a
laser is used in conjunction with GPS, the laser serves only
as a reference.
- Real pass and planned pass are displayed together graphically
on screen, allowing the operator to correct course as necessary.
- Complications in meeting previously set criteria, such as
minimum depth, maximum depth, or ideal depth are displayed graphically
on screen before and during installation. Manual operator adjustments,
such as compensating for rocks, cause the program to instantly
recalculate the lay. The
operator knows before he gets outside the set parameters for
the lay.
- Data is easily exported to, or imported from, most civil/survey
CAD programs.
- Calculates the actual footage of lay as opposed to how much
pipe was recorded on a mechanical reader. You can show to the
customer exactly what he paid for and give him an accurate map
of the pipe.
- The 3D lay of the pipe is recorded so that at any time in
the future an operator can go back and accurately locate the
pipe.
To see if your pipelaying, valve or positioning equipment is
supported, contact your local GCS
representative.
