179 CEI Enterprises is now developing a full new line of concrete production plants. This takes the firm, part of 681 Astec Industries, into a new business segment and CEI is working on the engineering required as well as planning its manufacturing and marketing operations for these units. The range will include nine new designs of concrete plants and will include both traditional batch plants and innovative new plant technologies. Included in the new innovative technologies will be the conventional concrete, roller compacted concrete (RCC), and cement treated base (CTB) plant designs that had previously been produced by Astec INC. With this technology transfer, Astec INC is exiting the concrete production plant business to focus on a new renewable energy product line and all concrete plant prodution equipment is being moved over to CEI. The firm says that its new concrete plants will feature innovative, technology that will offer new solutions to contractors building heavy civil, airport and highway and projects, providing higher quality concrete at lower production costs.%$Linker: 2Asset<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?><dictionary />2126940oLinkExternalwww.CeiEnterprises.comCEI Enterprises webfalse/EasySiteWeb/GatewayLink.aspx?alId=12694falsefalse%>
Materials testing firm Matest has launched an asphalt splitter at bauma. The machine breaks up asphalt specimens so that the constituent parts can be tested, a task that is often carried out by hand. “The purpose of the machine is to make the operator’s life easier,” said area manager Massiono Martorini. The splitter should also lead to greater efficiency, as breaking specimens down will take less time, and allow laboratory technicians to do other things. Matest expects to sell the splitter to laboratories
Trimble has put its new generation crane collision-avoidance system on show at Conexpo 2014, developed in conjunction with Manitowoc Cranes. The Manitowoc Falcon system combines precision GNSS with collision-avoidance technology to provide real time, centimetre-accurate positioning for multiple cranes working on a construction site.
The solution, which can be seen on Stand N11766 at Conexpo 2014, has been designed to enhance crane operator awareness and improve safety and productivity in the construction

Sandvik Construction has added the DC125R to its DC family of compact top hammer drill rigs. The remote-controlled self-propelled rig has a four-wheeled carrier that can also be equipped with rubber tracks for added mobility in difficult terrain. Capable of drilling 22-45mm diameter holes, the machine is capable of up to 300-400m3 in an eight-hour shift. The 3,150kg mini rig is powered by a 37kW engine that drives a 5.5kW rock drill. Designed primarily for foundation drilling, road cutting, trenching, line
