A new 307 Power Curbers 5700-C-MAX machine is being used on a slipforming project in Tampa, Florida in the USA. The project involves major upgrades to the road link, which is being widened from two lanes to four, with two lanes in either direction. The C-MAX package from Power Curbers allows the 5700 machine to pave wider and higher forms than before. This operation involves the construction of new concrete kerbs and gutters on the road. The machine is proving highly productive and reliable in the operation.

    An airport in Germany has seen the use of very innovative asphalt paving techniques, with the use of dual-layer, hot-to-hot working. The method was used to meet a very tight schedule for the runway rebuilding work, while also delivering the high quality required. Two InLine Pave trains from Vögele were used at Rostock-Laage Airport to lay a new surface and binder course. The operation was innovative as the process used both hot-to-hot, echelon paving as well as dual layer, hot-on-hot working. Using this

    The improvements to articulated dump trucks (ADTs) have been substantial in recent years. Comparing a present day machine with one from 20 or even just 10 years ago shows how far design has come. Major improvements have been made in visibility, operator comfort levels, rough terrain performance, driveline efficiency and productivity, to name but a few key areas. All of the latest generation ADTs available on the world market now come with Tier 3/Stage IIIA compliant diesels that produce far lower noise and
