The RJS Construction Group is one of the region's leading contractors for transportation and heavy industrial construction projects. And we’re one of the world’s first to add a first-of-its-kind, high-speed dozer (HSD) to our operations.
World’s First High-Speed Dozer
In late 2009 we became just the second construction company in the world to have begun using the newly-developed John Deere 764 HSD, which finish grades and dozes up to twice as fast as traditional crawlers.
To further enhance productivity on the job site, we’ve equipped our new dozer with the world’s most advanced GPS machine-control system – the new Topcon 3D-MC². It provides more than 100 blade-position checks per second, increasing speed and accuracy up to 200 percent over existing 3D systems.
Together, the high-speed dozer and machine control system allow workers to do smooth and accurate grading on the first pass, rather than needing repeated passes and frequent adjustments, meaning one grader can now do the work of two in the same amount of time.
Among the other features of the John Deere 764 HSD are an 11 foot wide blade and rubber tracks that allow it to traverse concrete and asphalt with no damage to roadways. To see the high-speed dozer in action – at speeds reaching a previously-unheard-of 16 miles per hour – click onto this link: John Deere 764 High-Speed Dozer.
