Powerful partners for Nigeria’s new lifeline
For the construction of the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway, Hitech is relying on the technical expertise, bespoke solutions and comprehensive support provided by the Wirtgen Group. Over 100 machines have been deployed for the realisation of the concrete construction project on one of Nigeria’s most important transport links – among them, stabilisers from the WR series and several paving trains equipped with the inset slipform paver SP 124.
Unusually heavy and persistent rainfall has had a major impact on the Anhanguera motorway in the Brazilian state of São Paulo. The SUPER 2100-5 X Highway Class paver was deployed for the first time in Brazil to resurface this key traffic artery; intuitive operation, new automated solutions and Comfort functions delivered rapid, high-quality paving.
In order to increase productivity, a Brazilian company decided to pave the around 60 km internal network of roads through its plantations. Instead of commissioning a road construction contractor to carry out the project, the company went ahead and invested in a Vögele paver and a Hamm roller and had its own workers trained in the skills of asphalt paving. The results have the potential to reduce logistics costs by 25%
