GCS: Pipe© provides machine control specific to drainage contractors. Revolutionary programming enables you to install drainage pipe faster and better than ever before. Computer does all the necessary calculations and controls the plow, leaving you with more freedom. Versatile programming gives you more options than ever before. |
| Curved paths are as easy to install as straight paths. |
| Advanced hardware and software allow you to work on your own schedule in light rain, snow, high wind, or fog. |
| GCS: Pipe© can utilize existing laser equipment and low to high accuracy GPS equipment. |
| System can run using 100% GPS with no laser required. |
| GCS: Pipe© can utilize multiple laser transmitters, greatly reducing the need for several changes of laser transmitter slopes. |
| User friendly interface is easy to learn and operate. |
| Load in other drawings and files, like pre-planned paths, to run in the background for advanced reference. |
| Traverse a site while the computer automatically collects accurate coordinate positions. |
| Automatic error detection saves time and effort. |
| Versatile programming allows fast, easy changes and calculations to be made at anytime. |
| Pipe mains and routes can be pre-programmed as overlays, eliminating flagging. |
| Optimum design eliminates the need to dig deeper than necessary.. |
| Topographic information of the site can be easily loaded from existing files. Using GCS: Pipe© a complete and accurate survey of a site can be made rapidly. This information is immediately available for designing pipe routes. Cross section information can be taken during other pipe laying operations such as during a pre-rip pass. This information is then used by the computer to calculate the most effective and efficient fit. |
| GCS: Pipe© calculates the best fit for every tile line installed using contractor input of minimum and maximum slope, desired optimum tile depth, and more. |
| GCS: Pipe© ensures minimum grade is kept when installing where the desired grade is different from the grade set on the laser. |
| Simply set up the transmitter so it can be received within the range of the mast throughout the field and GCS: Pipe© does the rest; grade breaks, maintains minimum slope, etc. The computer knows where the machine is and calculates these tasks for you. |
| Complete blade control ensures correct installation the first time. |
|
|
| GCS: Pipe© is self checking. If any complications are seen by the computer in being able to meet previously set criteria of minimum depth, slope, or shape, these areas are displayed on screen before and during installation. |
| In the field or in the office you have several options to "playback" your installation. |
| Data can be edited on site or in the office with many time saving utilities to maximize field performance. |
| All data is time stamped providing you with efficient and accurate productivity information. |
| System constantly records the installation for easy in-office drawing of maps. |
| Data is easily exported to, or imported from, most civil/survey CAD programs. |
