THE GP-4000 IS CHOSEN

HW-050004-5

This company chose the four-track GP-4000 to slipform four miles (6.4 km) of concrete on Route 30 in Fontana, California. The project was paved in three continuous sections to provide a new east/west artery into Los Angeles, California, to relieve congestion into the city. The GP-4000 was set up to slipform 38.5 ft. (11.7 m) wide passes, 11 in. (279 mm) thick, with over 123,000 yd.3 (94,041 m3) of concrete. The machine was equipped with GOMACOs patented IDBI system for the placement of bars. The IDBI dowel bar inserter provided easy and accurate bar placement. The IDBI was placing 1.5 in. by 18 in. (38 by 450 mm) dowels 12 in. (300 mm) apart, and placed approximately 335,000 dowel bars throughout the entire project. Tie bars for the longitudinal joints were inserted into the slab at 24 in. (600 mm) spacing. These bars were inserted using the mold-mounted bar inserters. Rideability specifications were easily achieved on this project. The GP-4000 was also equipped with the GOMACO Auto-Float, designed to automatically seal the concrete surface during the paving operation.

HW-030403-D20

This project involved over 40 miles (64.4 km) of Interstate 25, north of Denver, Colorado. The two-track GP-4000 slipformed the concrete at 40.5 ft. (12.3 m) wide and 13 in. (330 mm) thick. The machine was equipped with GOMACOs patented IDBI system for the placement of bars.

FOR MAINLINE PAVING

The four-track GP-4000 is designed to meet all the paving specifications and rideability requirements while slipforming a toll road near Austin, Texas. This massive project was nearly 100 miles (161 km) of concrete paving with the roadway ranging from 40 ft. (12.2 m) up to 64 ft. (19.5 m) wide, and the majority of the concrete was 13 in. (330 mm) thick and paving over continuous steel reinforcing. The GOMACO GP-4000 was set up to pave at three different paving widths, 18 ft. (5.5 m), 22 ft. (6.7 m), and 24 ft. (7.3 m). The company chose the GP-4000 for this project because of the overall weight of the four-track machine and its ability to meet and exceed ride specifications for the life of the project.

A high-production feature on GOMACO slipform pavers is one-pass slipforming with integral curb on one or both sides of the slab. The two-track GP-4000 is slipforming this slab at 31 ft. (9.5 m) wide and 5 in. (127 mm) thick, with integral curb on both sides of the slab.

UNPARALLELED ACCURACY WITH THE GOMACO POWER TRANSITION ADJUSTER (PTA)

The illustration above shows a stretch of roadway with a 3 in. (76 mm) crown to a zero (0) crown into a superelevation and out from zero (0) crown to a 3 in. (76 mm) crown. The operator has dialed in a minimum crown of zero(0) and a maximum crown of 3 in. (76 mm). The encoder wheel assemblies positioned on two of the tracks measures the distance of the two track lines inside and outside of the slab. The transition computer automatically averages these two distances to the total change from minimum to maximum crown over the total distance entered for the transition.

GOMACOS COMPUTERIZED TRANSITION ADJUSTER

GOMACOs hydraulically powered transition adjuster (PTA) provides on-the-go transitions in the crown of the concrete slab. A switch in the operators console controls the PTA in a positive or negative (up or down) motion. This eliminates the crown in the paving mold/slab or brings the crown back into the mold/slab. These transitions are necessary in paving through superelevations and intersections. This simple solution provides an easy method for an operator to perform a smooth transition where necessary and accomplish the required slab profile as specified. GOMACO offers a computerized transition adjuster that meets the increasing demands for a smooth riding surface. The optional specialized computer control allows for smooth transitions from a crown to a flat cross slope in a superelevation, or vice versa, calculating the number of steps to make the transitions. The computer controls and synchronizes the power transition adjuster (PTA) on the paver to make the necessary adjustments as specific stations are reached in the transition.

GOMACOS SENSOR EQUIPMENT IS RELIABLE AND COST EFFECTIVE

Sensor line and sensors provide the grade and steering information linked to GOMACOs exclusive operating system, located on the operator panel. The GOMACO electronic-overhydraulic sensor system provides intelligent control of grade and steering for paving accuracy, superior rideability and ease of operation. GOMACO sensor line is designed specifically for electronically controlled equipment. GOMACO line rods are 3/8 in. (9.5 mm) diameter plated steel. The 18 in. (457 mm) length of the line rods allow an adjustment range of 12 in. (305 mm) for sensoring accuracy. The line rod clamps are rustproof and durable, made of solid aluminum. GOMACOs 48 in. (1219 mm) long sensor line stakes are machine tapered for easy driving and fast setup. The 3/4 in. (19 mm) diameter stake resists bending.

GOMACOs Vertical Hinged Sideplates have hydraulic control for ease in start-up from an existing slab. The 4 in. (102 mm) cylinder stroke allows the split sideplates to open and close. This provides less labor and a smoother transition to the new slab. The Vertical Hinged Sideplates can be raised or lowered to negotiate headers and other obstacles. The Vertical Hinged Sideplates are for four-track pavers only.

GOMACO AUTO-FLOAT
A water spray system is available as an option on the Auto-Float with sectional spray pipe and fog nozzles on 12 in. (305 mm) centers.

Hydraulic controls adjust the speed of the pan and the oscillation. On/off controls are located on the Auto-Float end panel drive. An automatic on/off control automatically stops the float when the paver stops.

Proximity switches on the Auto-Float make it easier for the operator to adjust timing, delays, and other functions on the Auto-Float. The proximity switches are mounted to the Auto-Float framework in the exact location where the operator wants it to stop and change direction. If adjustments need to be made, the switches are simply moved to the new location. Set up, timing adjustment, and starting and stopping points to change direction can all be easily made.

The Auto-Float pan can be easily adjusted up to a 45 degree skew.

Additional hinges between the support arms and the float pan allow the pan to pivot along its longitudinal axis. The carriage speed of the float pan is variable with a maximum speed of 65 fpm (19.81 mpm). The carriage speed, float pan oscillation speed and the hesitation time at each end of the carriage pass are controlled by a single valve.

The float pan is 8.5 in. (216 mm) wide and 12 ft. (3.66 m) long. The float pan oscillates up to 46 cycles per minute longitudinally with the concrete slab. The pan seals the surface as the member travels transversely across the width of the concrete slab.

The GOMACO Auto-Float features hinged linkage to accommodate finishing through crowns and superelevations. The spring-adjustable float pan is attached to a scissor member that operates independently of the main frame of the attachment.
