Autonomous Paving: Precision in Motion

At Reeves, innovation isn’t just a buzzword – it’s how we pave the way forward. Our autonomous paving system is redefining what’s possible in high-tolerance, high-quality infrastructure projects. From racetracks to runways, we’re delivering smoother, straighter, and smarter results with cutting-edge technology and zero compromise on quality.

What the Results Show

Our latest autonomous paving projects speak for themselves:

  • Grade Accuracy: Using rover technology, we’ve verified elevation precision that meets the tightest tolerances; ideal for engineering firms and Corp of Engineer projects.
  • Surface Smoothness: Profiling trucks capture real-time data that confirms our pavement meets or exceeds smoothness standards.
  • Machine in Motion: Watch our paver operate with no one on board – fully automated and fully impressive.
  • Perfect Lines: Straight paving lines aren’t just aesthetic; they’re a testament to the precision of our control systems.
  • Smart Controls: Our paver’s onboard systems actively monitor and adjust slope and elevation, ensuring consistent quality across the entire surface.

The Technology Behind the Transformation

While we won’t give away the full recipe, here’s a high-level look at the tools driving our autonomous paving success:

  • Survey & Imaging: SSI CS 9500 Full Lane Survey Profiler and DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise Drone collect detailed surface data and photogrammetry imaging.
  • Automation & Control: The FAMC GT1 Paving System and Leica MCP80 Machine Control Panel work together to steer and align the paver with pinpoint accuracy.
  • GPS Precision: Leica 170 and 70T Series GPS receivers ensure real-time location data for both base stations and rovers.
  • Smart Striping: Our Tiny Mobile Robot (Terra Version) handles striping with robotic precision.

Who Benefits Most?

Our autonomous paving system is ideal for:

    • Engineering firms seeking precision
    • Airports and racetracks with strict tolerances
    • Schools and facilities building running tracks
    • Customers focused on quality and consistency
    • Alternative delivery projects requiring innovation
