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.

All-electric paving and compaction

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.

Extreme Requirements for Asphalt and Paving

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.
