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.
The ruins of Falkenstein Castle are located in the Allgäu at 1,277 metres – accessible via a private access road that also leads to a boutique hotel with a gourmet restaurant. The road, which is around two kilometres long, runs in narrow serpentines and has gradients of up to 30 per cent. Josef Böck GmbH from Nesselwang relies on the new Vögele SUPER 1800-5 X road paver with AB 500 TP1 extending screed for demanding surface course rehabilitation.
