The overarching themes of the two-day event at the headquarters site of Kleemann GmbH were digitalisation and sustainability. True to the motto ‘Smarter. Safer. More Sustainable.’ the company group demonstrated products and technologies developed to enable the successful realisation of construction projects.
At Conexpo 2023, the Wirtgen Group and John Deere presented numerous innovations, technical solutions and smart production systems for the optimisation of road construction processes.
Long before the idea of the digital construction site, Wirtgen recognised the importance of smart technologies for the improvement of construction processes – solutions that ensure precision and efficiency until the present day.

Hyderabad, the capital city of Telangana, has a well-developed road network of around 9000 Kms maintained by the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC). 2900 Kms out of this road network are bituminous roads varying from single lane to four lane design. Over the years, the life of these pavements has reduced due to various factors like ageing, monsoon damages, heavy loading, etc. which then called for maintenance and recarpeting of these roads.
