A smart investment in economically viable future technology
At its Luhe-Wildenau site, Bayerische Asphaltmischwerke (bam) has replaced its old plant with a modern RPP 3000 Plus with lateral loading silo – complete with leading-edge technologies: Hot gas generator for high RAP feed rates, a foam bitumen module for warm mix (low-temperature) asphalt and innovative BLS 4 plant control system with an optional recipe generator.
New wheeled paver delivers impressive performance in the Mont Blanc Tunnel
The rehabilitation and modernisation of the nearly 12-kilometre Mont Blanc Tunnel – one of the most important north-south corridors in the European road network – is scheduled for completion by 2042. Two wheeled pavers from Vögele have been deployed on the project. A latest-generation SUPER 1803-5 X and a SUPER 1303-3i took only one night to pave the surface course of a 400-metre section of the tunnel and impressively demonstrated what efficient machine technology can deliver on a tight deadline.
Three sections of the historic Via Appia, known today as the SS 7 (State Highway 7), were in need of rehabilitation. On the three sections, Italian road construction contractor Impresa Turlione deployed a large milling machine W 210 XF featuring the latest Wirtgen technology, a comfortable operator’s cabin and a sweeping unit for cleaning up after milling.
