Leica Geosystems has released a cloud solution to integrate, manage and analyse surveying and control workflows for heavy construction projects: ConX will increase efficiency and reduce downtime, the company says
Sandvik Construction’s compact QS331 has been designed to accept large feed sizes and achieve high production capacities. Sandvik says this boosts productivity on applications such as Type 1, crusher run or in primary gravel crushing.
For more than 30 years, the “S” type gyratory cone crusher has proven itself in stationary applications. The technology has now been incorporated into a self-contained, diesel driven track-mounted plant.
The “S” type gyratory cone accepts a feed size up to 90% larger tha
Highways England has awarded a contract to deliver a central traffic signal control and management system for south-east England to Simulation Systems Limited (SSL)
Central to the contract, for England’s motorway and major A-roads, will be a Siemens Stratos system which is designed to be the UK’s first cloud-hosted, fully integrated traffic control and management solution.
The project will also include Hosted-SCOOT, a real time UTC and adaptive traffic control system. It is already used to manage and
Today’s highways require high performance materials, and this means rigorous testing as Patrick Smith reports Highways are under greater pressure than ever today and asphalts have to grant high performances in order to withstand traffic and meet the standards. Studying the plastic permanent deformations in hot mix asphalt (HMA) is very important to obtain useful information for mix designers as an appropriate mix design will reduce the formation of unevenness on road surface. To investigate the effect of mi
There has been significant focus on alternative power solutions for off-road vehicles and equipment such as hybrid, full electric and hydrogen. Whilst these solutions will be suitable in the long term, it will take time for these technologies to be competitive and enable wider adopted in the construction industry.
