PERI subsidiary Vemaventuri says that sensor solutions can positively influence the construction process. Sensors are used to facilitate decision-making on the construction site and save resources.

Sensors can communicate the pressure exerted on the formwork during concreting as well as temperatures for determining the degree of concrete maturity to determining the water content in fresh concrete. Vemaventuri’s numerous types of sensors when combined with PERI systems offers added value.

ZQUIP and Leica Geosystems have collaborated on a prototype 8tonne excavator that is geospatially intelligent and powered by a swappable, zero-emissions battery system.

The modified CAT 308 concept excavator was successfully tested at a proving ground in France, noted ZQUIP, part of Moog Construction, and Leica Geosystems, part of Hexagon. The smart, clean vehicle is equipped with Leica Geosystems’ advanced machine control solution, which brings real-time data and precise design execution.

The biggest challenge in large-scale asphalting projects is maintaining a constant temperature of the mix. This is exactly where Fliegl’s ASW Thermo push-off trailer can help.

In contrast to conventional tipper vehicles, the Thermo push-off trailer enables controlled and even material discharge. This reduces material losses, prevents compaction problems and ensures precise dosing of the asphalt. In addition, the push-off trailer can be unloaded in low halls or under bridges - a clear advantage over tippers.

Hidromek’s 500LCHD H4 is a crawler excavator with a heavy-duty construction, designed for durability and performance in quarries and other challenging work site. 

The 52tonne machine from the Turkish manufacturer has a 3.2m³ bucket capacity and a maximum digging depth of 6.48m and a digging reach of up to 10.77m. It is powered by a six-cylinder, 270kW Isuzu AQ-6UZ1X engine. 

Epiroc is now offering its new DTH 5 hammers, which are designed to maximise efficiency and versatility in drilling work. The firm claims high penetration rates and long service life for the units, boosting performance and cost-effectiveness. 

Suited to high- and low-impact energy duties, the Epiroc DTH 5 hammers tackle any rock formation and configurations. High productivity with fewer interruptions and reduced manufacturing and transportation needs help to lower CO₂ emissions and sustainability goals.
