AUTOMATED machine control
-
Our 3D paving services automate the paving process whereby Robotic Total stations control layer thickness and screed attitude, which negates the possibility of human error. The asphalt layer is controlled at a set level below FSL, reducing the effects of uneven subgrade. This eliminates rework by laying the asphalt right the first time. There is no need for pegs or string lines on site, which reduces trip hazards and increases safety for our crews. Our crew surveyor can provide instant verification of asphalt levels to keep the job on track.
Continuous paving is also possible, utilising up to 4 Total stations at once to increase efficiency. Multiple sensor combinations to suit multiple paving tasks: 3D height and slope, 3D height and sonic, 3D height and big ski, laser and slope, dual prism for extended widths, GPS control, GPS and TPS for off-axis paving. These features make our 3D paving services one of today's most efficient and reliable solutions. -
Our 3D profiling services offer the same quality reassurance when cutting, with very accurate control of layer thickness using Robotic Total stations. Drum depth is controlled automatically and greatly reduces the risk of errors by operators. Profile depths are controlled at a set depth under FSL, with the profile to design depth regardless of the level/condition of the existing surface. Our operators can profile down to subgrade level within mm’s, reducing the possibility of creating differential compaction from an uneven subgrade and eliminating rework by cutting the subgrade right the first time. Possibility of continuous profiling, utilising up to 4 Total stations at once, is one of the many benefits of our 3D profiling services.

HUME HIGHWAY REHABILITATION
-
At every stage of the project, we harnessed the capabilities of state-of-the-art 3D machine control technology. Our team of in-house survey and machine control specialists flawlessly managed this advanced technology to ensure the utmost accuracy and efficacy.
Technical Precision: Transforming Road Foundation:
Transforming Road Foundation: A substantial aspect involved the removal and responsible disposal of over 28,988 tonnes of existing road material. Our teams executed precision cutting of the damaged road, utilising the 3D machine control of our 3D profiling services on our profilers to attain an accuracy of 480mm. This process paved the way for establishing layers to follow and set the scene for a 180mm Cement Treated Crushed Rock (CTCR) foundation at the Tallarook location.Methodical Asphalt Layering: Setting a Precise Base:
Setting a Precise Base: At the Tallarook location, 4,843 tonnes of 3% CTCR were meticulously distributed using a grader with the 3D machine control technology of our 3D paving services. This foundation provided the requisite stability for applying multiple layers of asphalt. -
Over 16,630 tonnes of dense-grade asphalt constructive layers were systematically transported and placed using 3D-equipped Vogele pavers. Our internal resources dedicated to survey and machine control ensured meticulous coordination and unparalleled precision. By deploying an averaging beam, we placed more than 7,515 tonnes of asphalt wearing course with meticulous accuracy, ensuring rideability through our 3D paving services.
-
Our internal fleet of trucks efficiently managed material transportation, resulting in a streamlined workflow that persisted throughout the project's duration.
-
The project's comprehensive approach and unwavering commitment to quality culminated in a lasting positive impact on the community and road users. The Hume Highway, a vital inter-city national route stretching 840 kilometres, bears witness to this accomplishment, showcasing the exceptional results of our 3D profiling services and 3D paving services.
Elite Roads project managers, surfacing foreman, and expert crews worked seamlessly together. This included managing 24-hour lane closures across the three different locations without incident. -
Elite Roads offers bespoke 3D paving services and 3D profiling services tailored to each project's specific needs. Whether it’s a large-scale highway rehabilitation like the Hume Highway project or other commercial developments, our team customises the technology and methods to fit project specifications.
We provide detailed assessments and recommendations, ensuring every project benefits from optimal technology integration. This flexibility sets us apart in delivering results that meet our client’s unique requirements.
Elite Roads was commissioned for a comprehensive, full-depth rehabilitation project spanning the Hume Highway in Victoria. Completed over 12 weeks across three locations and multiple stages, our strategic approach prioritised minimal disruption and technical precision, supported by cutting-edge technology integrated into our 3D paving services and 3D profiling services. This project demonstrates our unmatched ability to deliver complex road construction projects on time and within budget.
ELITE SPORTS COURTS
-
Moorabool Shire Council
Completion: March 2020
Elite Roads was engaged in the complete reconstruction of the newly designed Netball & Tennis facilities at the Ballan Recreation Reserve, Ballan.
-
Works included demolition, drainage, earthworks, asphalt, footpaths, sports furniture, line marking, lighting and acrylic surfacing, resulting in an updated facility, including four Tennis courts and two Netball courts.
-
Elite Roads performed our 3D Profiling services for the Doveton Indoor Sports Courts.
-
Our survey team attended the site to pick up the existing surface to create a model to suit client needs.
Utilising our 3D-equipped profilers, we completed surface correction of the indoor court's concrete base to correct fall issues identified during the design stages.
As part of these works, Elite Roads delivered the following:
- Survey and Design
- 2287m2 of 3D Profiling of concrete
SANDRINGHAM ATHLETICS TRACK
-
Elite Roads was engaged to complete the resurfacing of the Sandringham Athletics track, which required building it to international standards.
Elite Roads' investment in Leica 3D technology meant we were awarded the works.
Our surfacing team utilised our Leica 3D-controlled profiler and asphalt paver to complete the surfacing during construction.
-
Our scope included:
- 3D Profiling Services
- 835T of Asphalt surfacing using a Leica 3D-controlled paver
- Survey and machine control.
BROADFORD RACE TRACK
Revamping Broadford Racetrack: Unveiling the Ultimate Racing Experience!
-
Elite Roads was engaged to perform works on the Broadford State Motorcycle Complex track.
Originally built in 1975, the track had previously been resurfaced, but showed signs of early fatigue.
-
Our survey team conducted a pick-up of the circuit and met with the client to address areas of concern.
Utilising our profilers equipped with Leica 3D technology, we rectified the problem areas and had the track back in operation earlier than expected.
