Asphalt milling, paving & compaction

Compaction equipment from Dynapac is playing a key role in maintaining an important highway link in Brazil. Brazilian contractor Egesa has a contract to maintain the highway connecting the giant Jirau hydroelectric project and the nearest town of Porto Velho in Brazil's Rondônia State. The firm is using a fleet of Dynapac compactors to maintain the 130km stretch of two-lane highway between Porto Velho and Jirau in north-western Brazil.

A Wirtgen W210 milling machine has played an important role in improving a race track in the UK. Specialist contractor Jordan Road Surfacing used the machine to help finish a major refurbishment at Mallory Park race circuit on budget and a week early.

More efficient and productive compaction solutions are coming to market shortly, Mike Woof reports. Several key trends are emerging in the asphalt compaction market with the development of the latest generation machines. Performance and productivity remain key issues for compactor manufacturers with firms keen to maximise output from their latest units.
