Asphalt milling, paving & compaction

Volvo CE is now offering new 10tonne asphalt compactors

Dynapac is now offering a high compaction screed system that can help end-users to achieve better pre-compaction rates across a project. At the same time the system is also said to avoid the risk of crushing aggregate or displacing bitumen, for all layers and throughout the whole layer thickness

The X-VOCS System from Blue Smoke can remove up to 99 percent of odours and VOCs from asphalt holding tanks, including hydrogen sulphide H₂S.

Huesker says that its proven technology can help reduce construction time and provide a longer service life for road surfaces. The system can also help reduce traffic congestion and CO2 emissions during road works, while being versatile and easy to install.

According to Ammann, its latest asphalt pavers and compactors can help deliver sustainable road building needs. The firm’s latest asphalt pavers now feature EcoMode technology that automatically adjust engine speed to jobsite requirements through a variably controlled system. This package reduces fuel consumption as well as machine noise and also helps to extend engine life.

Dynapac is widening its asphalt compaction range with the addition of new models aimed at the rental market, as well as a new deadweight roller for finishing work

Resurfacing has started with Total Styrelf eXtreme 100 and Total Styrelf Long Life binders.

Years of heavy use meant that runway 25 at Brussels Airport required attention, with a full resurfacing needed. Smooth runways are vital for large international airports as they optimise safety and reduce wear and tear on expensive aircraft, in addition to boosting comfort for airline crews and passengers.

Now is the time for national road agencies and the private sector to cooperate on building more climate resilient roads, urges Dr Erik Denneman*.
