A new tunnel formwork system from Pilosio reduces the time needed for assembly. Made from standard components, this can be used for a wide range of geometries.
The Zoomlion HCC-80 is the latest edition to its crawler crane range. Weighing in at 72.5tonnes, GCS says the HCC-80 is easy to transport, and is among the first in the industry to meet ANSI standards for safe operation. The crane is also said to be ideal for general construction, bridgework and pile driving applications, as well as oil refinery and power plant work.

As part of the R1 southern orbital motorway around the Czech capital, Prague, a joint venture is building a five-span, 461m long and approximately 65m high viaduct near the village of Lochkov, as a girder bridge construction. For the two steeply inclined twin piers, Doka has supplied an automatic climbing formwork solution that obviates the need for shoring and that will "cut more than 100 days from the construction period."

Meteorological equipment specialist Biral has launched the RWS-30 road tunnel weather sensor for accurate and reliable visibility measurements.
The sensor is easily integrated with systems in road and tunnel applications and monitors obstruction to vision caused by fog, smoke and exhaust fumes.
The company says that the forward scatter measurement principle provides a compact design with measurements that are both accurate and reliable in all weather conditions. Sensor features include window contaminatio
