New machines are now coming to the international market, with Chinese firms producing a particularly strong showing. At the last BICES exhibition in Chinese capital Beijing, one of the most notable developments was how many of the country’s equipment manufacturers now offer ranges of soil compaction and/or asphalt compaction equipment.

US contractor Robert Smith based in Chattanooga has long experience in the asphalt paving market but has recently added roller compacted concrete (RCC) to its paving portfolio. This heavy-duty cement mix can be poured as quickly as asphalt and the company has now developed its skills at laying large areas of RCC in just a few days for its industrial client base. Demand has grown and RCC work now accounts for over 90% of the firm’s workload, which it carries out using a Volvo CE paver.
