Coventry City Council has awarded Siemens a new contract to design and refurbish traffic signal equipment and systems at nine signalised junctions in the city.
The UK city council has tapped into the National Productivity Investment Fund to renew the end-of-life traffic control equipment with the latest designs and management systems to improve network performance and reliability and reduce maintenance costs.
Fecon says that its FTX128 tracked carrier suits duties in compact milling operations for jobs such as road patching. The unit can be used to mill asphalt up to 102cm wide and 15cm deep when fitted with compatible cold planer attachments such as the Coneqtec-Universal AP1000. The carrier features high flow rates for its hydraulic circuits and can deliver 170-227litres/min to the planer attachment.
Wirtgen is introducing six new cold milling machines, which are said to offer a combination of reliability and versatility as well as powerful and economical road rehabilitation. At the top of the range are the W 250i and W 220i, high performance milling machines aimed at the 2.5m and 2.2m width classes respectively. These machines feature Tier 4 Final compliant diesels and are said to offer high output and dependability, combined with low downtime and running costs. Wirtgen is now offering the mid-sized W
Trimble is offering a new version of its Trimble GCS900 grade control system designed for use with milling machines. The new package allows contractors using planers for road repairs to achieve material savings and increased road smoothness during the ensuing paving operation. By controlling the cutting depth of a milling machine accurately, a contractor is less likely to make an overcut in the areas being repaired and as a result, is less likely to require additional asphalt or concrete when paving the new
