Case Study: Stanley MacAdam Company achieves 50% productivity boost and ±10 mm paving accuracy with Trimble PCS900 Paving Control System

Trimble’s PCS900 Paving Control System Boosts Productivity by 50%

Stanley MacAdam Company, a 40‑year family‑owned paving contractor operating in Australia and Europe, was hired to pave a 50,000 m² car park with a highly complex design: grades varying ±2% horizontally every 20 m and longitudinally every 30 m, tight finished‑surface tolerances of ±10 mm, and a new high‑density recycled road‑base material. Meeting the contractual accuracy and schedule while controlling costs presented a significant technical and operational challenge.

The team deployed a Dynapac SD2500CS paver equipped with the Trimble PCS900 Paving Control System (installed by SITECH). Automatic screed control and 3D guidance let operators place variable depths precisely, achieving the ±10 mm tolerance, eliminating overspill on a 25 mm asphalt layer, improving material yield, and cutting production time by 50%. The result was on‑spec delivery at lower cost and a demonstrable competitive advantage for future bids.
