The National Corvette Museum Benefits from 3D Grade Control Systems

"3D grade control, as used for asphalt roadway milling and paving, is a technique that uses sophisticated positioning systems in conjunction with the grade and slope control of the machines to reproduce virtual designs,” explained A.J. Lee, Global Sales Support Consultant with Caterpillar Paving Products.  National Corvette Museum General Manager Mitch Wright was certainly pleased with the result. “I have overseen four test track construction projects in my time, and the NCM project that was done using 3D paving technology produced the smoothest, most consistent surface by far,” Wright said. “This is an impressive computer/GPS-assisted technology that really delivers.”
