  Why Go Stringless? They're hard to quantify, but the little benefits add up quickly
We realize that stringless technology is the future of concrete paving and we want to be part of it,” says Jeff Flynn. That’s not just talk from Flynn, who has invested nearly $300,000 in automated machine control equipment for a mainline concrete paver, two grade trimmers, a motor grader and a dozer.

  Why You Need Machine Control Technology
Simply stated, increasing profitability through cost control is one of the major driving forces behind the adoption of machine control technology by construction contractors. If you can achieve grade in two or three passes instead of seven or eight, you spend less money. You spend less on labor. You burn less fuel. You lower stack gas emissions, so your projects are “greener.” Best of all, your construction company can compete more effectively.
