The Road Passion

Three slipform pavers SP 64 from Wirtgen were deployed on a road widening project on one of Uruguay’s most important national highways. A collaborative partnership and efficient machine technology were the key factors in assuring the project’s success.

The Jincheng-Yangcheng Expressway in China was widened from two to four lanes in each direction over a total distance of 42.6 km. A Vögele SUPER 2180-3 Li paver and a HD 148i VO Hamm tandem roller delivered impressive performance and quality during the construction of the bypass road.

In the port of Dresden-Friedrichstadt, a modern trailer port is being built for rail-road transhipment, which requires a particularly stable hydraulically bound base layer of high quality. The recycling project is being accelerated by the use of a WRC 240i Rock Crusher, which enables highly cost-efficient in-situ processing of the terrain.

First-class asphalt for the fastest of cars: Russian building contractor Tekhalyans, responsible for the renovation and maintenance of the Sochi Autodrom, is using the new high-tech TBA 3000 plant. The feature speak for themselves: high mixing capacity, improved process reliability, less energy consumption and the resource-friendly use of recycled materials. Premium quality for top speeds of up to 320 km/h!
