In Austria, a Wirtgen W 100 CFi compact milling machine with deep milling unit is being used for trenching prior to the laying of broadband cables – just before it sets to work milling off entire pavements.
Work is being done in Engelhartszell in the Upper Austrian district of Schärding, not far from the German border.
Contractor Hemmelmair Frästechnik, from Linz, is making use of the W 100 CFi’s cutting-edge technology, in this case made from steel and carbide.
Effective compaction control is one of a series of technical innovations boosting performance efficiency – Mike Woof writes. Maximising compaction efficiency can be a major cost factor on construction projects. Both for soil and asphalt compaction sectors, the risk from leaving an area under or over-compacted is substantial.

Wirtgen cold milling machines recently demonstrated their ability on runway rehabilitation work at Alghero-Fertilia Airport in Sardinia. Alghero-Fertilia Airport, about 8km northwest of Alghero, is one of three commercial airports on the Italian island. Built as a military airport in the late 1930s, Alghero-Fertilia still occasionally serves this purpose today.
It is also a major hub for low-cost carriers that ferry many of the annual 1.7 million passengers who pass through the airport. Summer tourist mo
