174 Breining says that it is developing an innovating solution for slurry micro surfacing applications. Its new machine is said to be a modern solution to road maintenance needs, increasing the capacity of existing equipment.

The firm has developed a new loading system for use with its slurry pavers as well as its Novasealers. This is said to allow a continuous flow into the machines carrying out slurry paving work, providing a higher quality finish. The unit also does away with the need for an overload truck standing nearby and helps improve site logistics by providing a buffer to the material supply into the slurry paver. If repairs are localised, the loading unit can also be parked when not required.

The firm says that there is a strong need for the unit in the market. Micro surfacing is becoming popular for road repair as it uses less materials and energy as it can deliver a thin layer that can be applied without the emulsion and aggregate being heated. The technology also offers high safety requirements as there are no harmful fumes during operation.

    US contractor Robert Smith based in Chattanooga has long experience in the asphalt paving market but has recently added roller compacted concrete (RCC) to its paving portfolio. This heavy-duty cement mix can be poured as quickly as asphalt and the company has now developed its skills at laying large areas of RCC in just a few days for its industrial client base. Demand has grown and RCC work now accounts for over 90% of the firm’s workload, which it carries out using a Volvo CE paver.
