Using a linear road crusher can rebuild gravel roads using material onsite at a fraction of the cost of conventional methods. Gravel roads are common in many rural areas in the US to provide access to temporary work sites and are also used widely in developing countries. Maintaining and repairing these roads can pose challenges and new methods may offer improvements in efficiency.
Many manufacturers claim that their machines are “versatile” or “flexible”, even “fast reacting” when working on site. But life shouldn’t be all work and no play. Even excavators and their drivers need a day off for some fun and one New York state contractor, Fastracs, has for three years made the point.
Innovations in materials technology, as well as machines, could provide a major boost to the concrete paving sector - Mike Woof reports Development of new material technologies for the concrete paving sector continues apace and the latest innovations could provide the biggest boost for this market in many years. High performance cementitious material (HPCM) is an innovative concept that has been developed and tested for road surfacing applications as part of a project in which the UK's Transport Research La
A pavement recycling contractor in eastern New York State in the US is using an innovative and versatile Wirtgen machine to carry out very different road rehabilitation tasks. This unit is being used to lay foamed bitumen-recycling pavements as well as carrying out cold-milling.
