Hydrodemolition played a vital role in the repairs and strengthening of the multi-span Rio Verde Viaduct, one of the tallest in Europe, that carries the busy dual two-lane A15/E33 Autostrada della Cisa over a steep-sided valley in the municipality of Pontremoli, north-west Italy. Conjet hydrodemolition equipment was used to remove damaged concrete from the faces of the viaduct's rectangular concrete piers, which rise up to 136m from the valley bottom to the steel deck. A new and thicker concrete skin was th

In the UK, Foster Contracting was part of the team that carried out road improvements to the main route along the historic promenade of the seaside town Great Yarmouth, in eastern England. The harshness of the sea environment coupled with traffic loading caused the road surface to deteriorate, leading to brittle cracking of the thin surface course and also reflective cracking from overlain service trenches and patches. The town centre was already undergoing a major regeneration and as part of this scheme, i

As part of the R1 southern orbital motorway around the Czech capital, Prague, a joint venture is building a five-span, 461m long and approximately 65m high viaduct near the village of Lochkov, as a girder bridge construction. For the two steeply inclined twin piers, Doka has supplied an automatic climbing formwork solution that obviates the need for shoring and that will "cut more than 100 days from the construction period." Cast-in-place concrete construction of bridge piers with such a steep inclination

Wacker Neuson says that its new BFS floor saws combine high cutting power with good ergonomic design. The units are said to offer a 20% cutting productivity gain over competing products, as well as being more comfortable to use for extended periods due to the new design. The saws are designed to cut materials such as concrete or asphalt and offer a high torque delivery from engine to diamond edged cutting blade. As the centre of gravity lies above the cutting shaft, working efficiency is further improved ac

Kennametal has introduced new retainers for its line of TSC step-shank tools used on large-track trenchers. The new retainers, designated TR3, have a patented design that enables them to be installed and removed easily and quickly. The flush style of the TR3 also employs three tabs, or 'ears' that are twice as thick as previous designs, ensuring a more secure fit into the block and contributing to the speedy installation and removal. Steve Lantz, Kennametal's trenching accounts manager, said: "These retaine
