Trimble is offering new advances in machine control technology – Mike Woof writes
An important technology advance from Trimble is now coming from its expanding range of EarthWorks machine control systems. These systems can help deliver more efficient earthmoving operations, increasing productivity while maintaining accuracy.
The first EarthWorks system was developed for use with excavators and this latest system is designed to be used with dozers, utilising much of the same hardware. Meanwhile, othe
The latest data available shows that Europe’s construction market is still suffering turbulence from economic issues. The construction sectors in Greece, Portugal, Italy, Spain and Ireland have all been particularly hard hit, due to a combined effect of high public debt and speculation, built-up during the pre-2008 boom years. This has caused the construction markets of these countries to break apart. Figures from the European Construction Industry Federation (FIEC) show that overall, European construction
Laser Technology now offers an accurate and compact speed measurement tool in the shape of its TruSpeed S package. Rugged and durable, the unit is also said to be affordable and weighs less than 450grammes.

This month we look at two additives from natural sources: a rejuvenator derived from pine trees and naturally occurring asphalt - Kristina Smith writes
One of the problems experienced with pavements containing RAP is that, although they exhibit good rutting resistance, they often fail early due to fatigue cracking. Biorefiner Arizona Chemical has just unveiled independent test results for its SYLVAROAD RP1000 Performance Additive that it says demonstrate that the rejuvenator can help create mixes that ar
