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.
In the Southern German state of Bavaria a contractor is using an adapted machine from Sennebogen for concrete paving duties. Munich-based Heilit+Woerner is using the Sennebogen machine as a carrier vehicle for applying bases for road surfaces. Sennebogen supplied one of its SR 25T models as a carrier vehicle for a new road base finisher. The multifunctional device is now used with a paving screed for bound and unbound road bases and allows the contractor to combine stages of work in one. The material can be
Geophysical Survey Systems (GSSI), a manufacturer of ground penetrating radar (GPR) equipment, has launched a more affordable version of its non-destructive system, called RoadScan 30.
The system is designed for measuring pavement thickness, conducting base and sub-base evaluations and measuring available asphalt prior to milling operations. Hundreds of miles of pavement layer thickness data can be collected in a day.
RoadScan 30 can collect data densities not obtainable using coring or other labour-i
