ABES geoCon

• Geometry control for short-line and long-line casting
• Provision of setting-out data for match-casting
• Processing of survey data of newly cast segments
• Determination of casting errors in match-cast segments
• Automated correction of casting errors in sub-sequent segments
• Tolerance checks after every survey
• Optional cloud-based quality control
• Documentation and record keeping of survey and casting data

ABES geoCon supports all commonly used survey systems and can be customized to suit casting yard requirements.

• Total station assigned to single casting cell
• Total station covering multiple cells
• Levelling instrument with offset measurement
• Any other automated or analogue survey system

ABES geoCon uses a novel error compensation algorithm providing superior accuracy and flexibility.

• Unlimited number of control points per segment
• Individual control point placement for each segment
• Unrestricted positioning of control points anywhere on the segment
• Optional smearing of error correction over several segments
• Bulkhead and casting cell movement or settlement fully considered
• Cross-section centres can be offset to the road alignment
• Variable cross-fall within segments
• Setting-out data for stay-cable anchors
• Sub-structure segments for piers and pylons in horizontal or vertical match-casting systems

ABES geoCon can manage project-specific casting yard layouts.

• Unlimited number of casting cells within casting yard
• Unlimited number of survey stations and survey towers
• Long-line beds and short-line cells, combination of methods
• Control points on casting cells and bulkheads to facilitate control survey
• Record keeping (casting cell, environmental data, survey and casting teams etc.)
• Quality control feedback and tolerance check after every survey
• Optional cloud upload to support offsite supervision

• 3D bridge project coordinates, casting yard and survey-tower-centred coordinates, local casting cell coordinates
• Survey data can be entered in absolute coordinates, or optionally in offsets relative to the setting-out data
• Specific setting-out sheets for every segment
• Casting reports for every segment
• Survey summaries for quality control purposes, optional cloud upload
• Automated reports in .pdf format
• Spreadsheet-compatible tables with filters for data selection
• CAD-compatible .dxf files of setting-out and as-cast data
• Text files

ABES geoCon closely replicates the actions in the casting yard. An intuitive user interface ensures a steep learning curve.

• Instant 3D and 2D Graphical visualisation
• Fully compatible with standard spreadsheet programs
• Direct file transfer between total station and ABES geoCon
• Cloud upload of survey data to support quality control
• Many tools for plausibility checks
