This two-track GP-4000 is equipped with the world’s most accurate IDBI system. GOMACO’s patented In-The-Pan Dowel Bar Insertion system provides ease and accuracy in dowel bar placement transversely across the slab. This machine is also equipped with a sidemounted air-powered bar inserter and will accommodate most types of bars.
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 GOMACO’s patented IDBI system for the placement of bars.
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.
This two-track GP-4000 is slipforming a 24 in. (610 mm) thick slab at the Atlanta Hartsfield Airport in Atlanta, Georgia. The GP-4000 is also equipped with the G21 controller and 3-D control system providing a stringless operation.
This GP-4000 equipped with the IDBI is slipforming a highway in Longmont, Colorado.
The IDBI made its professional debut on this GP-4000 two-track paver in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The IDBI operates within the front to back length of the GP-4000.
A 45 ft. (13.72 m) wide street is being slipformed by this GP-4000. Integral curb is also a part of this project.
