At KCI, we’re always looking for ways to elevate the quality, efficiency, and precision of the services we offer to our clients. That’s why we’re excited to announce the latest addition to our fleet: the Somero SRS-4 Laser Screed equipped with a 3D profiler and GPS-guided grading technology. This cutting-edge equipment marks a significant leap forward in our ability to deliver accurate, high-quality concrete solutions for every project we undertake.

Why the Somero SRS-4 Laser Screed?

The Somero SRS-4 Laser Screed is a game-changer in the concrete industry. Known for its precision and innovative technology, this machine is designed to ensure an ultra-smooth and level finish on large slab pours—whether it’s for industrial floors, warehouses, or any other large-scale concrete projects. But what truly sets the SRS-4 apart is its ability to integrate with advanced 3D profiling and GPS-guided grading systems, taking concrete finishing to an entirely new level of accuracy.


Here’s how this acquisition will revolutionize the services we provide at KCI:


1. Unmatched Accuracy with 3D Profiling & GPS Grading

The Somero SRS-4 is equipped with state-of-the-art 3D profiling technology and GPS-guided grading. This combination allows us to map and grade the surface of concrete slabs with incredible precision. By leveraging GPS, the SRS-4 ensures the grading process is fully automated, eliminating human error and providing a flawless surface.

This technology allows us to:


  • Achieve precise elevation control, ensuring a level slab without the need for constant manual adjustments.

  • Minimize material waste by reducing the need for over-excavation or rework, helping us deliver cost-efficient solutions to our clients.

  • Improve productivity by speeding up the concrete finishing process, leading to quicker project timelines and increased capacity for our team.


2. Increased Efficiency and Faster Turnaround

The SRS-4 is not only about accuracy—it’s also about efficiency. With its automated processes, the machine is able to complete tasks faster than traditional methods. The integration of 3D technology means we can perform real-time adjustments to the pour, optimizing the process as we go.


For KCI, this translates to:


  • Shorter project timelines without sacrificing quality, which means faster delivery for our clients.

  • Reduced labor costs, as the automated system does much of the heavy lifting, allowing our crew to focus on higher-value tasks.


3. Enhanced Surface Quality for Our Clients

One of the most important aspects of concrete work is ensuring the finished surface is smooth, level, and durable. The SRS-4 laser screed ensures that we achieve these results with minimal effort. With its automated leveling and profiling capabilities, we can deliver consistently perfect finishes that are essential for industrial floors, commercial spaces, and other high-demand concrete applications.


The result? Our clients can expect:


  • Superior flatness and levelness for every pour.

  • Fewer imperfections and a smoother, more durable finished surface.

  • Reduced maintenance costs due to the high quality of the initial pour.
