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.
Hydrodemolition surface preparation keeps Liberty Tunnel rehabilitation project on schedule in Pittsburgh. The Pennsylvania state Department of Transportation selected hydrodemolition surface preparation for the US$18.8 million rehabilitation of Pittsburgh’s Liberty Tunnels. Time was of the essence to complete the project on deadline without penalties and hydrodemolition was selected as it offered a fast and cost-effective method to prepare the tunnel walls for a new, shotcrete surface.

The new L45H and L50H wheel loaders from Volvo Construction Equipment are well balanced machines, built to a solid design that ensures the strongest performance even in confined jobsites.
The H-series wheel loaders have Volvo’s Torque Parallel (TP) linkage to deliver high breakout torque and excellent parallel movement throughout the lifting range.
A long wheel base, low center of gravity and good weight distribution give the machine superior stability on rough and uneven terrain. A robust, compact d
Formwork and shoring are no longer isolated services that stand outside the design process of infrastructure projects, as Simon Dowd* explained
In recent years, the roles of suppliers have changed as client and main contractors require more visibility and data from their construction sites. Due to the requirements of BIM - building information modelling - and the adoption of digital processes, it is no longer the role of a temporary works business to simply provide formwork and shoring.
