Today’s highways require high performance materials, and this means rigorous testing as Patrick Smith reports Highways are under greater pressure than ever today and asphalts have to grant high performances in order to withstand traffic and meet the standards. Studying the plastic permanent deformations in hot mix asphalt (HMA) is very important to obtain useful information for mix designers as an appropriate mix design will reduce the formation of unevenness on road surface. To investigate the effect of mi
Sophisticated on-board weighing systems for use with wheeled loaders and excavators are being offered by Loup Electronics. The innovative LOADEX 100 is a retrofittable scale installed on tracked and wheeled excavators and material handlers to weigh the amount of material load in the bucket or grab. Pressure signals are captured, filtered and corrected by measuring the angle of the main boom using either an RDS Inclinometer or Mechanical Angle sensor. When used dynamically, the pressures are captured through
Belgium’s €577.9 million A11 motorway Public-Private Partnership (PPP) project has become the first greenfield infrastructure works to receive credit enhancement under the European Commission and EIB (European Investment Bank) Project Bond Initiative.
The financing, secured by an EIB letter of credit, is part of the test phase for the 2012 Brussels-launched Project Bond Initiative aiming to invigorate capital market financing for infrastructure projects. The A11 motorway is due for completion in 2018. The
