Wirtgen SP 33: with flexibility and precision on the road to success
Two construction sites, numerous challenges and a machine that demonstrates its abilities as a real all-rounder. In Austria, an SP 33 paved a two-track road in Sieghartskirchen and, immediately afterwards, new kerb and gutter profiles in the Semmering Tunnel – all in the space of one week. That two such radically different profiles were able to be paved with outstanding precision in such a short time is all down to the quick and uncomplicated reconfiguration of the slipform paver – and once again shows its amazing flexibility for a wide range of paving projects.
In Rangendingen, in the German federal state of Baden-Württemberg, Leonhard Weiss is counting on the concept of an all-electric construction site with e-machines from Hamm and Vögele. The aim is to make the construction process safer and more cost-efficient and simultaneously reduce noise and CO₂ emissions.
Three road pavers and three material feeders from Vögele have renovated the Automotodrom in Brno. The approximately 14,000 tonnes of special asphalt were produced in a Benninghoven mixing plant and had to be laid on the 5.4 km-long carriageway in the shortest possible time. Since international race tracks must guarantee maximum grip and consistent evenness, the requirements for the material and paving were particularly high.
