The new Galileo units are said to offer high accuracy

2139 Controls and 3912 IPC Global are now offering new innovations in asphalt testing equipment and services.

The innovative Galileo and Galileo Research units are fully electromechanical gyratory compactors. According to Controls, the units offer a major advance in gyratory compaction. The units are designed to offer testing accuracy, repeatability, safety and efficiency. Both models use closed-loop control and patented orbital motion to compact specimens with a level of stiffness and angle stability that exceed the new requirements of AASHTO T312, ASTM D6925, D7115 and EN 12697-31 standards.

    Ammann has developed a prototype autonomous vibratory plate. This innovative tool allows fast working in dangerous work areas and has been recognised by the bauma innovation awards for its advanced technology. The plate is said to be easy to use and the operator first sets out the boundaries by remotely navigating the plate around the jobsite perimeter. The compactor is then able to start work on its own in the set area while the operator carries out other tasks. The machine automatically detects the set bo
