PERFECTION ALL-AROUND
Roads promote progress. They may open up
access to remote places, enable goods to
be transported over hundreds of kilometers
or handle hundreds of thousands of
commuters in megacities around the world,
but whatever the application, the Wirtgen
Group delivers innovative solutions that
fulfill the highest demands.
With six strong brands, Wirtgen, Vögele,
Hamm, Kleemann, Benninghoven and Ciber,
the Wirtgen Group covers the complete
supply chain in road construction:
PROCESSING
Crushed stone is the starting material for
constructing roads. But how are unwieldy
boulders turned into aggregate of defined
grain size? Kleemann markets leading
technologies and methods for processing
mineral raw materials and recycling building
materials.
MIXING
A thermal mixing process is required to
produce asphalt for road construction
from aggregate, bitumen and binders. An
asphalt mixing plant is indispensable to
this process. Be it mobile, transportable or
stationary, every mixture is a winner with
tailor-made solutions by Benninghoven and
– in Latin America, Africa, Australia and
New Zealand – Ciber the specialists for
asphalt mixing plants.
PAVING
The construction of a new road depends on
an excellently bonded pavement structure,
beginning with a stable base course and
extending all the way to an even surface
course that is true to cross-section, line and
level. What are the most important criteria
to be considered? What methods need to
be applied? The latest technologies from
quality leader Vögele are the first choice for
paving new roads.
COMPACTION
Compaction over large surface areas is
a basic prerequisite for making asphalt
pavement tough and durable. Be it vibration
or oscillation technology, or compaction
control – the machines from roller pioneer
Hamm stand for optimum compaction.
REHABILITATION
The loads to which roads are exposed take
their toll over time. In many cases, targeted
rehabilitation is the only way to go. When it
comes to replacing the surface course, the
challenge is to remove only the damaged
layers and keep traffic moving during
construction. The solution: Cold milling
machines and cold recyclers from innovator
Wirtgen.
