From 4 to 6 June 2025, Wirtgen GmbH in Windhagen played host to this year’s AZUBI techdays – taking part this time around: 66 trainees from the brand headquarters of Wirtgen, Vögele, Hamm, Kleemann and Benninghoven.
Wirtgen Group machines rehabilitate the Beitbridge-Harare-Chirundu Highway
The extensive rehabilitation of the around 582 km section between Beitbridge and Harare and the partial widening of the roadway from 7 m to 12.5 m began in 2019.
‘The new WIRTGEN GROUP machines are helping us to fulfil our ongoing growth targets’.
The Finnish company Asfalttikallio Oy is upgrading its fleet with a total of 39 machines from the Wirtgen Group. These include a Wirtgen W 120 Ri Small Milling Machine, Vögele Compact Class and Universal Class Pavers, as well as Hamm Rollers, mainly from the HD CompactLine.
Asphalt surface course renovation by COLAS using Smart Compact Pro
In the space of just three days, two tandem rollers, the HX 70i and HD+ 90i from Hamm, renovated the asphalt surface course along some 2.5 km of France’s D934.
In Hemer, in Germany’s North-Rhine Westphalia, Vögele Compact Class machines paved a new karting track, delivering precision work in the process: over a distance of exactly 391.49 m, they paved seven hairpin bends and an obstacle - a so-called chicane - all in an incredibly small space.
In the course of the AZUBI techdays 2024, trainees from across the Wirtgen Group showed their skills and talents as they jointly realised a road rehabilitation project with the CTB method on their own.
In collaboration with circuit design specialists from the Italian engineering consultants Studio Dromo, the British lead contractor Tarmac wins the race to reprofile and resurface the Silverstone Circuit in time for the British Grand Prix – with Wirtgen Group machines, plants and systems.
