A new report is now available detailing the performance of the demolition industry within Europe during 2015. This has been produce by the European Demolition Association (EDA) and is titled the European Demolition Industry Report 2015. The report was compiled by the Deutscher Abbruchverband (DA), the Statistics Working Group of the EDA, headed by Andreas Pocha, general manager of DA.

The report is said to provide an overview of the demolition industry within Europe and has key information highlighting trends within the industry. It also includes market forecasts and has been based upon a standardised methodology about the demolition market.

To gather the information, EDA devised a two-phase survey that was sent out across Europe, with translations into several languages. The first phase was more general and provided a pan-European overview while the second was more detailed and provided more specific information on the demolition industry in each country.

    Improved surface quality and improved machine design are key trends in the asphalt paving sector, Mike Woof reports There is a big difference in asphalt paving techniques in North America and Europe. In North America, the need to construct long stretches of highway quickly resulted in wide pavers offering high throughput capacity, with compaction equipment then being used to achieve the required density of the various courses. In Europe's highway construction projects, distances tend to be shorter and contr
