COVER STORY

• Automated insertion of longitudinal joint tie bars to prevent
the slabs from drifting apart
• Inset paving mould suitable for mounting between the track SPOTLIGHT
units, underneath the machine
• Pivoting legs for full adjustment of the track units to the
conditions prevailing on site

Kleemann screens and scalpers did the groundwork. They
produced the aggregates.
Different models of Vögele pavers were responsible for the DLC (dry
lean concrete) pavement on various sections including approach
roads and toll areas. They laid a surface with a thickness of 150
mm.
Hamm tandem rollers ensured an even underground. They also
compacted the shoulders on both sides of the expressway’s lanes.
The Wirtgen equipment was the last in line. The slipform pavers SP
1600 and SP 94 laid the concrete surface followed by a TCM 180
that added the finishing touches to the brand-new concrete lanes.
