Keeping a fleet of new, state of the art, well-maintained equipment results in greater efficiency, delivers a high quality result, reduces downtime and increases crew members safety. Our in-house fleet of equipment is extensive, with new additions arriving on a regular basis.
Current Technology
Kolb Grading was a leader in the early adoption of GPS connectivity on their rock drills, providing precision control when drilling. Their robotic-controlled bulldozers, motor graders and scrapers provide the ability to get the job done quickly, accurately, on target and right the first time. Indicator controls on their track hoes, rock drills and compactors provide real time information to experienced personnel, providing mission critial metrics used in field decision making.
Kolb crews partner with our equipment to provide outstanding results. Through ongoing training, crew members are prepared to read and interpret what our equipment is telling us, providing feedback and allowing them to perform the job to the specifications required.
Project Modeling
After a contract is awarded, Kolb refines its original project plans to increase the precision of the information used to control machines on the job site. This process maps site detail of the project route, including elevation changes and bend trajectory, in 12 inch segments, building a project model that is far more accurate and detailed than the general files originally used in the bidding phase. The new mapping file is then uploaded to Kolb equipment GPS systems to guide and direct equipment operations during the project work, increasing the overall quality, accuracy, and efficient execution of the project.
