From the biggest asphalt plants to the smallest vibratory plates: whatever your job size, the company can handle it - and the technology is easy to use too
Working in a rainforest area can be challenging, but in a rural area outside of Kuching in East Malaysia, a road construction crew was able to carry out a project successfully
One of the biggest challenges came from the moisture levels as the area has an average annual rainfall of 4200mm. The saturated soil complicates the construction process on many levels, including stabilisation and compaction.
However this heavy moisture content in the soil is a constant for Geocrete Specialist crews, which handl
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

A growing niche market for roller compacted concrete has prompted manufacturers to offer solutions. Mike Woof reports. Increased demand for roller compacted concrete (RCC) machines in certain applications mean that this is now a growing market, with manufacturers having developed new machines for this sector. RCC comprises uncrushed and/or crushed aggregate, hydraulic binders and may also contain concrete additives. It is mixed in a concrete mixing plant on or near the job site and one of its main benefits
