The Road Passion

In the Allgäu region, at an elevation of 1,277 meters, lies the Falkenstein Castle ruins—accessible via a private access road that also leads to a boutique hotel with a gourmet restaurant. The roughly two-kilometer road winds through tight switchbacks and features gradients of up to 30 percent. For the demanding resurfacing work, Josef Böck GmbH from Nesselwang is relying on the new Vögele paver SUPER 1800-5 X with the extending screed AB 500 TP1.

In the Permian Basin, the most productive oil field in the US, Pulice Construction is using the Wirtgen Group’s innovative slipform paving technology to rehabilitate the degraded Interstate 20 linking the most important oil-production centers. This investment in infrastructure is paving the way to more growth and prosperity in the region.

In the state of São Paulo, Brazilian infrastructure contractor EIXO SP is operating three Ciber iNOVA 1500 asphalt mixing plants. The plants are scoring big points not only with 100% automated operation and a concept that allows flexible relocation. With an RAP recycling ratio of 40%, they are also making asphalt production more sustainable than ever before.

Top asphalt quality for fast cars: The Russian construction company Tekhalyans, responsible for resurfacing and maintaining the Sochi Autodrom, relies on the new high-tech TBA 3000 plant for this work. A high mixing capacity, more process reliability, less energy consumption and resource-friendly use of recycled materials – these aspects speak for themselves. Top quality for top speeds up to 320 km/h!
