Editorial Comment

Uncertain Future as Carrots are Dangled

W ith a general election due in just a few months time, investments in infrastructures, housing, flood prevention and similar will feature

prominently in newspapers and broadcast media.

These together with ‘promises’ of tax cuts, improving NHS ser-vices and other carrots will be dangled to tempt the electorate to vote this way or that.

Unfortunately, all these fine words, which will be part of each party’s manifest, have no legal binding. We are, by now used to the lame excus-es made by the winning party. Why aren’t manifesto pledges legally bind-ing promises, after all that is why the party won?

Imagine the situation if contractors could bid for projects the same way. They would never get away with delivering something that was not as agreed. It would seem that politicans can.

The construction industry is recovering and, if the party winning the next election deliver on their promises then the industry can look forward to a mini-boom.

My advice is hang on to your hats, there’s a lot of hot air going to be blowing around and look at the small print.

In the past, tax cuts and investments were implemented over-night. Some of the ‘promises’, if they are delivered, are not sched-uled until the end of the next term- 5 years away by which time peo-ple will have forgotten what was promised.

New Design to Contractors WorldContractors World magazines, for the past 5 years, have been redefining trade magazines for the digital age.

Over the years, technology has moved on and tablets and iPads are now becoming the main device used to read digital magazines.

The new page layout is designed to show a single page at a time without having to scoll left/right to read the text. The types faces have been changed to best suit digital reading. The interactive PDF will show a single page at a time with easy page turning.

Some of the changes are behind the wall to speed up delivery of video and other rich content.

If you have any comments or suggestions, then I would like to hear.

N ew safety measures put in place on a Costain road-widening project to protect both the site workforce and errant drivers

was featured on TV screens and in the press recently.

Special collapsible barriers, installed at Girton, near Cambridge, as part of the A14 Junction 31-32 improvement scheme, achieved valuable minutes of publicity on BBC Look East, ITV East Anglia News and Heart Radio, as well as in the regional press.

The ‘crash cushion terminals’ have been erected to help minimise the effects of drivers who fail to heed road warnings and try to enter the worksite or veer off course.

The new terminals are placed at the end of tem-porary steel barriers at access and egress points to the worksite and consist of steel beams enclosing a series of metal partitions and plastic boxes.

If a driver realises he is about to mistakenly en-ter the worksite and tries to swerve back on to the main carriageway but hits the barrier end-on, the internal structure progressively collapses, helping minimise the impact.

Importantly, this barrier is designed to keep the car on the ground. Hitting a con-ventional steel tapered terminal end-on can flip a car into the air, either on to the carriageway or into the worksite – with ob-vious risks to other road users in the first case and site workers in the second.

The crash cushion terminals are already in use on some schemes in the UK, but the Highways Agency’s A14 project is the first time that they have been used as part of temporary barriers in the east of England.

The scale of the problem was pointed out by the Highways Agency, Between

2009-13, eight road workers have been killed and 317 injured while working on or near motorways and major A-roads in England.

Costain is adding an extra lane to the A14 dual carriageway between junctions 31 and 32 in a scheme designed to increase road user capacity along the route.

Some 558 m² of the roof of the nave of the landmark St Peter’s Church was re-roofed in more than nine thousand 500 mm x 300 mm Coun-ty-grade Penrhyn Heather Blue slates from Welsh Slate by Mather & Ellis stonemasons.

The four-month, £160,000 project in a Con-servation Area had sub-stantial English Heritage funding, through the or-ganisation’s scheme for repairs to listed places of worship.

Specialist conservation architects the Bernard Taylor Partnership specified Welsh Slate, which is guaranteed for 100 years, but, more frequently, lasts substantially longer than that, to replace con-crete roof tiles which had been on the roof for 60 years.

The programme on the roof of the church, which was built in brickwork in the 1740s on the site of a medieval church, included stone repairs, new tim-ber rafters and rainwater goods, and scaffold.

Rob Harrington said:

“Approval of the slate material was the key issue in getting the planning and faculty consents but the scheme was strongly supported by the local authority as the slate replaced concrete tiles.

“The slate represents 90% of the visual impact of the project. The church stands high above the town and is a significant landmark in the surrounding area. The roof has been transformed by the use of slate. The rooflines are more strongly defined and the colour enhances the adjacent brick and stone materials on the church.”

Quarry reaps benefits from new pumpsIn 2013, the company undertook a total overhaul of the pumping system at its main quarry to increase production, reduce costs and minimise impact on the environment.

The company’s largest quarry, Penrhyn at Bethesda near Bangor in North Wales, the largest single-site slate quarry in the world as well as the oldest, dating back some 400 years, had suffered a series of inefficient and expensive pump systems, and the latest, installed over a year ago, has been no exception.

Welsh Slate’s purchasing manager Edward Grif-fiths enlisted the help of Nottingham-based Pioneer Pump Solutions.

The previous system used two 2400 high head 90kw submersible pumps and two diesel generators mounted on two pontoons with four 350-m lengths of six and eight-inch hose which often leaked.

Running an average 160 hours per week and us-ing more than 7,000 litres, the fuel costs for Welsh Slate per year were costing the company almost £250,000.

Pioneer’s solution was to replace the two sub-mersible pumps with one 150 clear liquid medium head 112 kw diesel pump capable of pumping a minimum 100 litres per second, mounted on a plas-tic pontoon with one fuel tank and 30 metres of 8” wire armoured hose, and renovate the existing six and eight-inch hoses.

With a 68kw decrease in power, the new scheme reduced the fuel consumption per week to 4,480 li-tres, the fuel total bill per year by 50% to £150,000.

‘Stay Cool’ under pressureHeat and dust in the working environment are no longer proving to be problems for Bodens Group, as the leading wood products’ manufacturer can now keep cool under pressure.

Bodens has extended its use of Bell technology with a new L1806E and a used L2606E, which join the company’s existing L1506E purchased in 2013 at Bodens’ processing centre in Manchester. While the latter model has been used primarily in sheds,

the latest additions will be working in the compa-ny’s yard, loading up to 200 trucks per day.

Alan Whitrow, Operations Manager at Bodens Group explains:

“There are high expectations placed on the machines in operation within our plant. Each is given a long, heavy workload, within what can only be described as challenging conditions. Given our high daily throughput, we need machines that not only deal with the dust, but can also make the grade when it comes to fuel efficiency.

“The success we’ve achieved with our first Bell loader meant that it made sense to return to QuadCool technology.”

The QuadCool cooling system is unique to Bell loaders in the UK and has already become renowned for its ability to help manufacturing, recy-cling and waste management indus-tries to avoid a dust-up.

The system works by compart-mentalising the radiator technology

by incorporating fine mesh prefilters and wide core radiators. This ensures that dust bypasses the ra-diators, which helps avoid build-up and extends the periods between cleaning operations. In conjunc-tion, the technology also includes an automatic re-versing fan, to blow accumulated debris away from the radiators and minimise the frequency of clean-ing routines.

The latest order comprises a new L1806E, which is ideal for high tip or clamp bucket work, as well as a used L2606E.

Tight squeeze for Grove crane in LondonCity Lifting has completed its first job with its new Grove GMK6300L, which arrived in September 2014. The 300 t capacity all-terrain crane carefully manoeuvred into a tight, downtown job site in London, to perform a series of lifts that few other cranes could have completed without rigging a fly jib.

The job was at Great Ormond Street Hospital, where five air handling units had to be installed on the roof of a nine-story building. Each unit weighed up to 4 t and was lifted at a radius of up to 54 m – a relatively simple task.

However, the job site’s central Lon-don location meant there was no space to rig a fly jib, so all lifts had to be completed using only the crane’s main boom.

To add to the complications, the team arrived on site to discover a large hole had been dug in the small access road directly outside the courtyard.

Trevor Jepson, owner of City Lifting said:

“Cranes and holes do not mix but the GMK6300L has a relatively small footprint and all-wheel steering, which allowed us to manoeuvre the crane into the smallest

of spaces with the narrowest of margins. It then completed all of the lifts in a single day.“

MV Kelly Put Trust in Hitachi ExcavatorsContractor, MV Kelly, will take delivery of more than 130 new Hitachi mini and medium excavators in 2014 in response to rising demand from the house building sector

The company is investing more than £8 million in a wide range of mini and medium Zaxis models – ranging from the ZX29U-3 to the ZX250LC-5 – that will increase the total size of its Hitachi fleet to 250 machines.

Almost 1,200 Hitachi excavatorsVince and John Kelly founded the civil engineering and building company 19 years ago in Birmingham. Since then, the company has purchased almost 1,200 excavators from HCMUK to carry out residential groundworks, roads and sewers, and associated infrastructure work for the UK’s major housebuilders.

Approximately 75% of the new Zaxis machines are direct replacements for the existing fleet that has reached the end of MV Kelly’s strict three-year replenishment cycle. The remaining 25% represent the need to manage the increased workload and will replace rented machines that were temporarily drafted in to meet demand.

Sam Marles adds more Volvos Sam Marles, proprietor of Sam Marles Plant Hire based at Woodbury Salterton near Exeter orders a new ECR25D zero swing excavator and an ECR88D reduced swing excavator from Volvo for his hire and contracting business.

Since setting up his plant and contracting business ten years ago, owner Sam Mar-les has enjoyed the last two of them operating a Volvo EC R28 zero swing excavator.

“The majority of our work is contracting to Western Power Distribution which means we have to be ready to react to demand 24 hours a day, seven days a week and that’s just not possible unless you have good machine reliability and sound back up from the local dealer.

“I’ve been impressed with the support from Plant & Engineering Services which helped me decide to opt for the Volvo brand once again,”

says Sam, explaining his reason for investing more with Volvo.

The new ECR25D replaces his two year old ECR28 whilst at the same time he has invested in the larger 8.8 tonne ECR88D.

The ECR25D has had optional hose rupture valves fitted to both the boom and dipper arm cylinders for handling electricity poles whilst the ECR88D has been equipped with an Engcon Tiltrotator making the machine highly productive and flex-ible on site.

Avant Carriers For Block PavingEstablished in 1987, family owned Tecni:Block has recently purchased its ninth Avant compact tool carrier.

Commenting on its choice of ma-chine, Tecni:Block’s Managing Director, Phil Annable said:

“I really didn’t think our first Avant would last five minutes on our type of work, but I have to say they have since proved to be absolutely brilliant with one of our 635 models now over eight years old and still going strong.”

The key feature is their ability to lift 1 tonne plus packs of blocks and place them into position prior to laying. In addition, the pallet forks can be quickly changed to a bucket for sand handling and levelling or a vacuum lifter when working on obsta-cles such as steps or even a breaker when required.

“Our latest 750 model has a little more lift capacity which enables it to handle larger blocks with ease and also benefits from 2-speed drive which is useful when we have

to carry packs some distance on large sites.”

With several gangs working at different lo-cations throughout the Midlands, Tecni:Block also likes the fact the Avants can be safely towed to site behind a typical 4x4 vehicle.

The 750 model, delivered by local dealer Robert Lee (Plant), is powered by a Kubota 4-cylinder diesel engine developing 36 kW (49 hp), driving through a 2-speed hydrostatic transmission which provides a top speed of 25 km/h. The all-wheel drive, articu-lated machine is just 1050 mm wide and can handle loads of up to 1.4 tonne.

AFI Supplies Boom Lifts At Liverpool Exhibition Centre

AFI quickly stepped up to the mark to supply boom lifts to steel erectors, Wisconco, after the contractors had received a poor service from another hire company.

Wisconco was erecting the steelwork for a new £50m exhibition centre being built in Liv-erpool when it turned to AFI for help.

Wisconco Director Jody Wisniewki said:

“I contacted AFI because I was not getting a good service from my existing powered access hirer. AFI responded quickly to get me what I needed.

“I was looking for machines that were competitively priced, delivered on time, in good condition and fit for purpose. That is what AFI delivered and I was very happy with the service.”

Wisconco hired four JLG 800AJ articulat-ing booms, fitted with the SkyGuard second-ary guarding system. The boom lifts have a working height of 26.38 m and a horizontal outreach of 15.74 m, giving Wisconco the range of movement, reach and versatility re-

quired to enable its operatives to erect the steel-work safely and efficiently.

The new development, called Exhibition Centre Liverpool, will be connected to the Liverpool Arena and Convention Centre and will more than double the exhibition space available.

Scottish quarrying company, William Thompson & Son is the first UK firm to invest in the new Cat 972M XE wheel loader. The recent purchase joins the Cat 336EL hybrid excavator.

After witnessing the fuel saving benefit achieved by the Cat 336 EL, William Thompson & Son acted quickly in complementing the excavator with the additional wheel loader, because of the significant fuel saving.

Commenting on the deal Andrew Thompson, Di-rector at William Thompson & Son, said:

“We strive to be at the cutting edge of new technologies enabling us to maximise productivity, minimise cost, whilst reducing our carbon footprint. The new Cat machines are leading the way in our industry, therefore, it was a simple business decision to integrate them into our fleet and benefit from the value they will add to our operation.”

The Cat 972M XE Wheel Loader is the class leader in fuel efficiency, with advanced powertrain technolo-gies enabling the 25% fuel saving for the Scottish firm.

The Cat XE range has been engineered to deliver a high level of efficiency by utilising an integrated Cat continuously variable transmission (CVT) system, rather than the standard toque converter.

A hydraulic pump and motor (variator unit), al-lows for a smooth and continuous gear ratio change between engine speed and machine speed. This will save William Thompson & Son an average of 4 litres of fuel for every hour the wheel loader is in use.

M ain contractor, McAleer & Rushe, is building a new £50 million four-star establishment – with a second, three-

star, hotel next door.

The town-centre project, at Terrace Mount, oc-cupies a sloping site that was formerly a car-park. The two hotels are arranged in a loose L-shape and, because of the gradient, the ground floors are on different levels.

Construction of the foundations required a com-plex excavation with sides varying in depth from zero to 15 m.

The loose, sandy soil meant that considerable mechanical support was required for the contigu-ous piled retaining walls, until the basement slabs

and permanent concrete supports had been con-structed.

Groundforce won the contract to supply struc-tural support to a design by engineer Ian Black Con-sulting. The equipment comprised 17 of the com-pany’s modular hydraulic props in capacities from 80 to 250 tonnes.

The largest prop was an MP250 unit equipped with 1200 mm diameter Super-Tube extensions used to span 27 m.

Proprietary hydraulic props are usually used to provide lateral support across an excavation from side-to-side. However, due to the changes in ground level on this site, only five of the props were used in the conventional way.

Groundforce Prop Up New Hotel ComplexTheabilitytovalue-engineersolutionsonacomplexexcavationresulted in Groundforce being chosen to provide its modular hydraulic propping equipment during the early stages of a major hotel development in Bournemouth.

The equipment comprised 17 of Groundforce modular hydraulic props in capacities from 80 to 250 tonnes

The rest were either used across corners (in-cluding the 27 m-long MP250) or as raking props to transfer the loads from the piled wall to concrete thrust blocks mounted on the floor of the excava-tion.

Groundforce technical sales engineer Roberto Gelormini explains that because the corner-braces and raking props were not oriented at right angles to the forces acting on them, special connectors were required to fix them to the Mega Brace waling beam and concrete capping beam.

“We worked with Ian Black Consulting to design steel shear studs that were cast into the capping beam to transfer the shear loads.”

Another challenge was the fact that some of the props were to be oriented on a slope as well as at a horizontal angle to the beam.

As Roberto explained, because the props cannot articulate in two planes, special concrete corbels had to be cast into the beam to allow for the slope.

The four raking props were braced against heavy steel I-beams projecting vertically from massive concrete thrust-blocks cast into the base of the ex-

cavation.

And three of the props forming corner-braces were equipped with mechanical lock-off to ensure they provided the minimum stiffness re-quired by the design.

The first props started to arrive on site following completion of the secant piled walls in February.

“Our close work with the consulting engineer, plus our

ability to supply high-capacity props, meant we were able to reduce the total number of props supplied” says Roberto.

Groundforce used ‘flying’ props instead of rak-ing props wherever possible as this reduced the amount of obstruction in the excavation.

First ‘partnering’This was Groundforce’s first major contract for McAleer & Rushe; but Roberto hopes that its success will ensure that it won’t be its last.

Darragh Greenan, contracts manager with McAleer & Rushe commented:

“I found Groundforce to be extremely professional to deal with during the design stage. The continued onsite support following their appointment was one of the biggest benefits of choosing Groundforce. It provided the site team with a level of support that helped the installation, monitoring and removal of the props to run smoothly.”

Work on the building close to Morden Station, in South Wimbledon, included cladding the external walls in plastic panels and waterproofing the roof.

London Underground awarded Lanes the six-figure contract, by competitive tender, under its planned and reactive civils’ maintenance pro-gramme for bridges and structures.

The eight-week refurbishment project has dra-

matically changed the look of the pump house, which takes water from the Tube track, six metres below ground-level, up into the surface water drain-age system.

London Underground Client Repre-sentative Babajide Oriogun said:

“This pump house is a unique facility. There is nothing else quite like it on the London Underground system.

When it was built, visual amen-ity was clearly not a priority. The work done by Lanes has protected and upgraded the building, and has improved its looks greatly, which is what we set out to achieve.”

Lanes Rail Division Project Manager Steve Demwell said that the building was looking very tired and drab: with its new blue and white cladding it is now looking neat and bright.

To do the work required a full free-standing scaffold which had to be con-structed 300 mm from the building, so the cladding team could work on the structure without hindrance.

The new skin is designed to be easy to clean and the cladding panels are replaceable as necessary to maintain appearance.

Other work carried out as part of the project included installing guard rails on the roof and a roof access cat ladder with a safety fall cage.

Steve Demwell said:

“The project was completed on time and on budget, and has really improved that was an eyesore. There is no doubt local residents will be pleased with the results.”

Manitou Helping To Create A New Generation TownFive miles south of Aberdeen there is an ambitious construction project to deliver a real sense of community within seven distinct neighbourhoods totalling 8,000 houses.

The initial phase of construction will see 4,045 homes built within four neigh-bourhoods, Cairnhill, Wester Cairnhill, Ne-whall and Chapelton town centres. Each district is designed to incorporate local shops, offices, bus stops and open space parkland.

Elsick Development Company is work-ing with three house builders to realise the plan for quality and spacious housing, utilising local build materials.

One company, AJC Homes of Aberdeenshire is using a new Manitou MT1840 specifically for the project and its performance characteristics - a lift height of 18 metre and a load capacity of 4,000 kg,

Safety features include a ‘driver presence’ detector to ensure the cab door is shut and a load sensing detector with three modes - handling, bucket and swinging load function, which facilitates safer handling of roof trusses.

Ellie has already successfully completed a tunnel from Pudding Mill Lane, near Stratford, to Stepney Green. The tunnel machine is 150 m long and 7.1 m in diameter and is staffed by teams of 20 people. The concrete and steel tunnel segments are made in Chatham, Kent and transported to Limmo by river barge.

Joint Venture Dragados Sisk is constructing the eastern tunnels between Pudding Mill Lane and Stepney Green, Limmo Peninsula and Farringdon, and Victoria Dock Portal and Limmo.

Jessica Going StrongCrossrail’s tunnel boring machine, Jessica, has completed a new train tunnel from Limmo Peninsula, near Canning Town, breaking into Victoria Dock Portal in east London.

The 1,000 tonne machine completed her 900 metre journey in just 9 weeks, travelling as far as 41 metres per day. It is Jessica’s second Crossrail tunnel drive, having already created one of the two tunnels forming the spur from Pudding Mill Lane near Stratford to Stepney Green.

With her work completed, unlike many tunnel boring machines in the past, she will not be buried in a tunnel. She is to be dismantled, with parts re-turned to manufacturer, Herrenknecht, for use on other tunnelling projects.

Jessica is also 150 m long and 7.1 m in diameter and was staffed by teams of 20 people. Tunnel seg-ments were made in Chatham, Kent and transport-ed to Limmo by river barge.

Crossrail uncovers Brunel’s railway heritage• Victorian-era rail infrastructure excavated near Paddington as part of the UK’s largest

archaeological programme

• EngineeringmarvelsoftheGreatWesternRailwayareuncoveredforthefirsttimeinmore than 100 years

• Remains of structures built by celebrated engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel for his Great Western Railway have been unearthed near Paddington in west London.

TBM, Ellie, begins final 900 m drive - the shortest but most complex tunnel due to adjacent rail system and the Rive Lee and River Thames

Remains of structures built by celebrated engineer, Isambard Kingdom Brunel, for his Great Western Railway have been unearthed near Paddington in west London.

Newly excavated by Crossrail as part of the UK’s largest archaeological programme, findings include foundations of a 200 metre long engine shed, a workshop and turntables. The structures were used for Brunel’s famous broad-gauge railway, which first ran steam trains through the area in 1838.

The Crossrail archaeology team is documenting the remains using laser scans, creating 3D models of the buildings which date from the 1850s and were levelled in 1906 to make way for a goods stor-age yard.

These records will help historians understand the early development of railways in the UK and the methods of Brunel, widely regarded as one of Brit-ain’s greatest engineers.

Jay Carver, Crossrail’s Lead Archaeologist said:

“Isambard Kingdom Brunel’s Great Western Railway is the most complete early mainline

railway in the world. Whenever we expose parts of the original infrastructure it is vital to record these for posterity and the history

of rail in this country. Using the latest 3D scan technology provides a permanent and accurate model Brunel’s distinctive architectural legacy.”

The remains were found at Paddington New Yard, to the east of Westbourne Park Tube station.

From 2018 the area will accommodate Crossrail tracks, turn-back sidings, an elevated bus deck and cement factory.

The works at Paddington New Yard are being un-dertaken by Costain.

The engine shed shows evidence of the change from 7 foot wide broad-gauge train tracks used by Brunel’s Great Western Railway, to the standard gauge tracks prescribed in an Act of Parliament in 1846. Brunel initially resisted this change in the so-called ‘Gauge Wars’.

To date, Crossrail’s archeology programme has discovered over 10,000 items spanning 55 million years of London’s histo-ry across 40 construction sites.

Notable finds include Roman remains, plague pits, the Bedlam hospital burial grounds and a Tudor manor house. [CW]

A 110 metre long temporary road bridge weighing 350 tonnes has been launched over the Great Western Main Line as part of Crossrail improvement works in the area.

The temporary structure has been in-stalled at Thorney Lane, in Iver, ahead of the demolition of the existing bridge at Christmas.

Both Thorney Lane Bridge and Stoke Poges Bridge in Slough will be demolished at Christmas and replaced with perma-nent bridges to allow enough room for overhead electric cables to be installed over the tracks on the Great Western Main Line.

Excavations At PaddingtonCrossrail Paddington contractors, Costain Skanska Joint Venture, has excavated down to the new Crossrail tunnels, breaking into the top of the tunnels 16 metres below ground level, as part of construction of the new station.

Costain Skanska will excavate the earth between the two tunnels creating a large open station plat-form level. Once excavation is completed, they will start building the station platforms and laying the track bed.

Costain Skanska JV Construction Manager Andy Mooney said:

“Reaching the tunnels marks an important phase in the construction of Paddington station. The excavation down 16 metres underneath Eastbourne Terrace will allow us, once we have removed all of the 2,640 individual tunnel segments, to start the

construction of the platforms and track bed.”

Tunnelling machines Phyllis and Ada built the new train tunnels through Paddington at the begin-ning of 2013 ahead of completing their 6.8 km jour-neys to Farringdon in autumn 2013.

Costain Skanska’s workforce of 400 subsequent-ly excavated more than 40,000 tonnes of earth to reach the western running tunnels.

Following the completion of the platform and track bed construction, system-wide contractor ATC (Alstom, TSO & Costain) will commence fit-out of the new tunnels with track and other rail infrastruc-ture.

The new Crossrail station is being constructed adjacent to the existing Paddington National Rail station under Eastbourne Terrace. The 250 m long and 30 m wide spacious station will include a 120 m long glass canopy. [CW]

London Bridge Station is falling down under a demolition contract to make space for a brand new station. New time-lapse footage from London Bridge station shows the scale of demolition work taking place underneath the platforms to create space for the station’s new street-level concourse.

In the shadow of London’s newest landmark, The Shard, Network Rail is completely re-building London Bridge – the capital’s oldest rail terminal – as part of the £6.5bn Thameslink Programme, which will increase capacity and reli-ability on one of Europe’s busiest rail routes.

The work to rebuild the station is being carried out in phases to keep the station open for business and minimise disruption to passengers. This latest time-lapse video, taken in September, shows the demolition of 19th century brick arches underneath platforms 10 and 11, which are currently being re-built and will reopen to passengers in January.

The first part of the new station concourse at London Bridge will open in 2016, with the entire concourse complete in 2018.

Cambrian Coast railway up and runningThe train service between Harlech and Pwllheli is open for business again following the successful rebuild of Pont Briwet viaduct. (bottom left)

The project has seen the 150 year-old wooden bridge over the Afon Dwyryd near Lla-ndecwyn replaced with a modern structure.

Funded by the European Regional Develop-ment Fund, Welsh Government, Network Rail and TraCC, and managed by Gwynedd Coun-cil, the project has also involved line speed improvement work across the new bridge as part of plans to deliver faster journey times on the route.

With the rail bridge now complete, trains are now able to run the entire Cambrian Coast line for the first time since late 2013.

The upper section of the Cambrian Coast railway closed between Harlech and Pwllhe-li in November 2013, shortly after the £20m bridge-replacement project commenced, so work to replace the structure could be con-ducted safely.

Further work was required on the Cambri-an Coast earlier this year after ferocious winter storms caused widespread damage. The lower section of the line – between Dovey Junction and Harlech – closed in January, after storms and tidal surges severely damaged the infra-structure.

This summer, as cycling fever gripped the nation, Aggregate Industries were racing under exceptional circumstances to ensure that the world’s cycling elite had a smooth ride during Stage 2 of this year’s Tour de France.

Taking place in Yorkshire, 1.5 million people lined the streets to cheer on the racers includ-ing 2013 winner, Chris Froome. However, behind the scenes Aggregate Industries Contracting and Asphalt divisions managed to resurface 70,000 m² of carriageway over a two-month period, which equated to more than six miles of local roads, to complete work by May in preparation for the July event.

Working with private contractor, Amey, who were awarded a £1.2bn private finance initiative (PFI) by Sheffield City Council, Aggregate Industries worked day and night to resurface unsightly pot-holes and damaged roads.

Within two months, the teams planned the pro-ject, sourced the materials and got to work on the roads which covered not only the urban parts of the route, but also remote, elevated rural roads, as well as tackling obstacles such as low power cables.

The surfacing teams tack-led the logistics of the power

cables through innovative non-tipping trucks (NTTs) to ensure a speedy and safe delivery of material. All materials used came

from Aggregate Industries’ Sheffield plant, the largest

state-of-the-art asphalt plant in the UK.

Laying around 11,285 tonnes of asphalt material for the Tour de France preparations, Aggregate In-dustries provided Foamix, foamed bitumen asphalt, and the Superflex asphalt.

Used to resurface areas that ranged from 35 mm to 200 mm deep, the Superflex asphalt provided a binder course layer to combine the properties of high fatigue resistance with excellent deformation resistance.

Working with its supply chain members, Tripod Crest and MAC Surfacing, using Vogele Titan 473 pavers, the work was completed in time for the sec-ond stage of the world famous cycle race.

Peter Cannon, Director of Contracting Services at Aggregate Industries, said:

“We had to work towards an extremely tight deadline and had to overcome difficulties such as the power lines and the remoteness of the rural roads. But, once again, we showed our innovation to ensure that the project was completed in time.”

There are eight Royal Parks in London, covering some 4,900 acres each attracting millions of visitors every year. The heavy volume of pedestrian traffic takes its toll on the park’s thoroughfares and regular maintenance is required.

Responsibility is contracted to Taylor Woodrow who provide the careful management to ensure that potholes and other deformations are quickly fixed. One of the methods being used are solutions provided by Ultracrete.

Ultracrete’s Area Sales Manager for the South East, David Youell, met with the parks’ contractor Taylor Woodrow, and recommended Ultracrete’s Permanent Pothole Repair to help maintain the sites.

This solution, for up to 6 mm fine grade, is now Taylor Woodrow’s material of choice for ongoing maintenance work to repair the defects in the paths and roads within the parks.

It is being used in conjunction with Ultracrete’s SCJ, which helps to increase the bond of the repair material to the substrate, as well as preventing wa-

ter ingress and the freeze/thaw effect. This helps to prolong the life of the re-pair and re-duce ongoing maintenance costs.

Ultracrete is suitable for use in low risk roads, paths, car parks and driveways and has a high skid resist-ance value of >88 for improved road safety.

It is instantly trafficable, so minimal disruption to visitors as the site can be opened immediately after installation.

Historic Lighthouse Gets Technology Upgrade

Inch Cape Offshore Limited has successfully deployed a ZephIR 300 lidar on the historic Bell Rock lighthouse, 17 km off the Angus coast.

The ZephIR 300, mounted on a platform on the north east of the lighthouse, measures wind direction and velocity and will augment wind measurements from onshore sources and from a dedicated offshore met mast that is expected to be installed in October 2014.

The installation of the unit was carried out by SgurrEnergy who designed and fabricated a sup-port structure.

With no need for annual calibration and an ex-tended service period, solutions such as ZephIR make sense where lidars need to be left installed for long periods of time in extreme situations.

A new Nuclear Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (NAMRC) to be based in South Yorkshire alongside the AMRC, is currently under construction.

The new £25 million Nuclear Advanced Manufacturing Re-search Centre (NAMRC) led by the University of Sheffield with Rolls-Royce, will be based at the Advanced Manufacturing Park.

Funding for the project com-prises £15 million from the De-partment of Business, Industry and Skills and £10m from the regional development agency, Yorkshire Forward.

Concrete specialist Richlea Developments are main contractors on the scheme to install a new horizontal boring machine within NAMRC’s existing facility at Waverley Technology Park in Sheffield.

With the heavy foundations complete, the Re-search Centre could install the large, heavy preci-sion engineering equipment. The largest one of its kind in a research facility in Europe, capable of ma-noeuvring work-pieces of up to 100 tonnes in the chuck.

The bases required to support this massive ma-chine are being constructed in a large excavation using more than 1,200 m³ of concrete and over 100 tonnes of steel reinforcement.

The concrete foundations are supported by 78 auger-bored concrete piles, each 600 mm in diam-eter and spaced at 2 m centres. These were drilled from the underside of the existing floor slab before work started to excavate the surrounding material.

The excavation, which is roughly T-shaped, meas-

ures approximately 35 m long x 18 m wide and var-ies in depth from 3.1 m to 4.9 m.

Groundforce Shorco supplied the support sys-tem, which comprised the company’s Mega and Maxi braces with 900 Series braces of varying lengths.

They also supplied HY6 trench sheets which were used to line the excavation whilst Piletec supplied a MS4 EMV piling hammer to install them along with a Taets pile breaker to cut down the concrete piles to the required length.

Using a modular hydraulic bracing system mini-mised obstructions in the excavation which was crowded with the closely-spaced piles. Working space was optimised by breaking the pile caps with the Taets machine as digging progressed. In all, about 5,000 tonnes of spoil was removed from the excavation.

T ucked away in the Lincolnshire village of Bracebridge Heath is the former St John’s Hospital built in 1952. After closing down in

1989, the site is now being re-awakened as developers Mabec renovate its Grade II listed buildings into luxury homes.

Set over 120 acres, the development is possibly one of the largest such regeneration projects in the country at this time.

Steeped in history, the hospital was initially built at a cost of around £30,000 and designed by architects Hamilton and Thomas Percy.

Mabec is sympathetically renovating the site in line with its original age and architec-ture. St John’s will become St John’s Village, offering 106 luxury homes and apartments - including 77 new build houses in the grounds, as part of the £40 million project.

At least 30 acres of the land was used as a farm which provided paid employment for many of the male patients. A good number of the female pa-tients were employed in needlework.

The hospital building is of an Italianate design in ‘blue’ limestone, with dressings of slate, hipped roofs and many stone stacks.

Within St John’s there are still many reminders of earlier times including a Victorian theatre which played films from the period and expansive recrea-tion grounds that were used by around 1,500 resi-dents and staff.

Mark Elliott, director at Mabec, said:

“I feel honoured to be able to bring St John’s back to life, it has such a charismatic heritage and being able to create something out of what had become an abandoned building will generate such a special place for people to live in for generations to come.

“The regeneration element of the build will offer new build houses and apartments, including some that will sit inside the shell of the former large theatre to the centre of the site.”

ROLLING BACK 162 YEARS OF HISTORY


New cab design for 305.5E2 and 305E2 models

Caterpillar has introduced a new series to its compact radius mini hydraulic excavators. The 305E2, 305.5E2 and 308E2 are direct replacement for existing E series models

The E2 models retain many of the features of their predecessor, while introducing new technol-ogy and refinements to the benefit of the custom-er. For example, the new ‘High Definition Hydrau-lic’ (HDH) System provides a load sensing and flow sharing capability enabling greater precision, im-proved performance and greater controllability.

The 305.5E2 and 305E2 include a redesigned op-erator station. This update includes a wider open-ing, a higher quality suspension seat, easy to adjust arm rests and an overall improved ergonomic lay-out for operator comfort and productivity.

There is also a new interlocking front window system, updated opera-tor interface controls and 100% pilot controls.

The E2 series mod-els are equipped with the digital control pan-el specially designed

for Cat Mini Excavators which goes under the ac-ronym COMPASS standing for Complete Operation, Maintenance, Performance, and Security System.

Built into the monitor are an anti-theft system, which requires a five-digit alphanumeric password to start the machine, an automatic engine-idle se-lection, which drops engine rpm to idle after 4 sec-onds of inactivity and an adjustable auxiliary-flow control for work tools.

Both main-line and optional secondary auxiliary-hydraulic systems can be adjusted on a scale of 1-15 through the monitor for added control.

Retained features include automatic two-speed, 100% pilot controls, excellent bucket rotation, blade float and safety.

Additionally, the blade float function allows the operator to drag the blade backwards (away from the cutting edge side) and the blade will “float” along the contour of the ground with only the weight of the blade bearing down to smooth the site after grading and backfilling holes leading to ease of operation and productivity.

A three models are ROPS, TOPS and Top Guard Level 1 certified; include the Cat Interlock (hydrau-lic lockout) System; a certified accumulator which allows for auxiliary pressure to be released, making connecting and disconnecting work tools safer and easier; and a travel alarm.

Bobcat is not going to be left behind in the mini-excavator stakes as it announces the new E17, E19 and E20 compact excavators - the next generation of 1~2 tonne excavator models. These new excavators are designed to further strengthen the products’ reputation for excellent breakout forces, working range, smoothness of workgroup functions, hydraulic output and fast cycle times. A roomy and comfortable operator environment rounds off the package.

The new models are towable on trailers for up to 2000 kg, with transportability made easier by new tie-down points. The new models retain fea-tures such as expandable undercarriage and auto-matic slew brake

A new cab design features large windows and narrow pillars to maximise all-around visibility. As a result, the cabs provide an uncompromised op-erator environment.

The new E20 2 tonne model is a Zero Housing Swing (ZHS) excavator despite featuring a full-sized cab. The ZHS configu-ration provides 320° of free rotation when work-ing close to structures, without compromising operator comfort or per-formance.

A notable features is the optional joystick con-trol of boom swing and auxiliary hydraulics with three selectable auxiliary modes for more precision.

Other features include keyless ignition for opti-mal safety, a battery kill switch for storage and to prevent theft and an automatic slew brake for safe parking and transportation.

Stability is essential for making maximum use of the digging forces and lifting capacities. Optimum stability is achieved by fully expanding the retracta-ble undercarriage and using the optional long dozer blade.

M arubeni Komatsu UK provided the venue for the Global launch of two new dozers from Komatsu to further strengthen their position in

the market as a world leader in dozing technology.

With this introduction the company has brought closer together merging technologies to further en-hance dozing performance and minimise operator fatigue.

Most dozers today working on major sites use levelling and grading technologies. Typically this is either by laser or, as it becomes more accurate, GPS using attachments to the dozer that are exposed to damage.

With the D61EXi/PXi-23, Komatsu build such

intelligence into the machine. It was launched as ‘The First intelligent Machine Control model, to the European market.’

In other words, a unique fully automatic blade control dozer capable of both finish grading in au-tomatic mode, and also rough dozing. The result is a significant improvement in productivity.

Although the D61i-EXi is the first machine to be equipped with this innovative factory integrated technology, it is obvious that the company is go-ing to introduce some of the technology to other products as the company said that the technology is adaptable.

The new dozer can be configured with longer track-on ground standard (EX) or low ground pres-

sure (PX) for better flotation and weight distribution in soft ground conditions.

Operating weights range from 177,40 kg to 18,660 kg depending on the config-uration with a Komatsu SAA6D107E-2 en-gine Tier IV interim engine delivering net 125 kW / 168 HP at 2200 rpm.

Big PUSH from Komatsu intelligence

http://cwmags.info/video/Komatsu/D61PXi-23/index.php?q=115


The new dozer also features Komatsu’s proprie-tary KOMTRAX (Komatsu Machine Tracking System) and TOPCON’s construction management system.

In the near future, this integrated system will enable high-efficiency, unified management of con-struction work through access to realtime machine data, via its web service, to track work progress in-cluding the amount of soil dozed at jobsites.

Fully Automatic Blade Control for Rough and Fine DozingWhile high-precision finish grading can be achieved by crawler dozers equipped with a conventional control system, the D61i-EXi can also perform rough dozing in automatic mode, thanks to a fully automatic blade load control.

When rough dozing, the automatic blade control monitors blade load and adjusts blade elevation, to minimize track slip and deliver high-efficiency doz-ing. As work progresses closer to the target finish grade, the automatic blade control adjusts accord-ingly to provide finish grade performance with high-level precision.

Komatsu claim that when compared to conven-tional add-on machine control systems, an increase of up to 13% in efficiency can be achieved when using Komatsu’s technological innovation in rough dozing.

Standard Factory Installed and IntegratedKomatsu has moved away from add-on components for the machine control system that were typically mounted on the blade. With the new model, it is a fully-integrated system within, and protected by, the cab structure.

These components are installed at the Komatsu manufacturing facility during machine assembly, along with the machine control monitor and con-trollers mounted inside the cab.

The integrated sensor package is not only robust and accurate but also eliminates the daily hassles of

installing and removing GNSS antennas and cables from the blade, and the wear associated with it.

Enhancements for Optimized PerformanceInside the cab, selectable dozing modes allow the system response to be tailored to current machine operations, for optimized performance. Similarly, blade load settings are adjustable between presets to match actual material conditions.

From pass to pass, the intelligent Machine Con-trol system can be left with the automatic blade control engaged because of its ability to precisely automate the lowering of the blade at the start of a pass and raise it at the end.

When the machine travels around the job site, the cab top GNSS antenna collects accurate surface data by measuring actual elevations.

The stroke sensing angle cylinder measures the actual angle of the blade for high precision grad-ing accuracy on cross-slope with the blade angled or not.

New cab design delivers ergonomic benefits as well as improving comfort and visibility

With the fully automatic blade control, the operator can see at a glance the various parameters being created.



Higher EfficiencyThe new dozer retains Komatsu’s proven hydrostatic drive line which supplies high drawbar pull when needed with precision control when fine grading.

The operator can select either ‘quick-shift’ or ‘variable speed’ to match the ground condition.

The cab has been moved for-ward, putting the operator closer to the centre of gravity of the ma-chine. This gives a better view to the ripper and improved visibility to the dozer.

The ROPS/FOPS cab is to a new design with larg-er, tinted windows and improved sealing to keep dust, moisture and noise outside.

The operator’s seat is a comfortable, heavy-duty, air suspension style, complete with headrest, The result is 79 dB(A) noise level to the operator (LpA) and hand/arm vibration <2.5 m/s² and body vibra-tion <0.5 m/s².

Travel speed is up to 9.00 km/h in both for-ward and reverse gears. Dozer blade ranges from 3,250 mm x 1,195 mm with 3.4 m³ PAT blade on the EX model up to 3,860 mm x 1,155 mm with 3.8 m³ PAT blade PXI)

A Second Dozer LaunchKomatsu has also introduced the D37EXi/PXi-23 dozer to the European market which is configured to the same degree with Komatsu’s latest intelligent Machine Control technology, enabling both finish grading and rough dozing in full automatic blade control mode.

This dozers meets EU Stage IIIB regulations us-ing smart engine technology, with operator-specific features bundled into a compact 89 horsepower package.

Operating weights range from 8,640 kg to 8,940 kg depending on the configuration and mod-el. At 2200 rpm, the D37EXi/PXi-23 pushes with a net 66,1 kW (89 HP).

Both dozers come equipped with the Komatsu Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (KDOC), which has an in-tegrated design that does not interfere with daily

operation.

This smart and simpli-fied system removes soot using 100% “passive regeneration” with-out the need for a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF).

The KDOC has no scheduled replacement inter-val and is designed for long life with no required maintenance. For owners, this means lower own-ing and operating costs due to less complexity and seamless operation for the operator.

Excellent blade visibility and rideThe steeply sloped engine hood and forward cab design provide more room for operators while moving them closer to the blade, for improved blade visibility, ride quality, enhanced grading ability and overall comfort.

Viscous cab damper mounts suppress noise and vibration when travelling over rough terrain making these new models quieter than their predecessors. For a quieter working environment, the interior cab decibel level has been decreased to 77 dB(A).

Durable and productive power angle tilt (PAT) bladeAn efficiently-designed PAT blade with a highly durable box structure and good curvature, rolls material efficiently and improves productivity.

Standard adjustable blade pitch allows the op-erator to adjust the aggressiveness of the cutting edge for varying applications. The hydraulic blade angle toggle switch improves ease of blade opera-tion.

New Technology Integrated into Excavators

T he world’s first intelligent Machine Control excavator is launched by Komatsu with the world premier of the PC210LCi-10 tracked

excavator.

This new excavator features Komatsu’s exclusive machine control and guidance system, fully inte-grated with all other existing features.

With the exclusive control function, the opera-tor will no longer worry about digging too deep or damaging a target surface. From rough digging to finish grading, the PC210LCi-10 excavator can dra-matically improve efficiency, precision and safety on the work site.

Mal McCoy, Product Manager for Hydraulic Ex-cavators and intelligent Machine Control Products said at the launch:

“This latest Komatsu technology is a revolution in how hydraulic excavators will be used in the coming years. The ability of the PC210LCi-10 to achieve and maintain grade with minimum effort from the operator is awesome”.

Operating weights range from 22.620 kg - 23.480 kg, depending on the configuration, with a net 123 kW (165 HP) @ 2.000 rpm. Other speci-fications are identical to those for the Komatsu PC210LC-10.

Naturally, with such an intelligent machine it is fully wired for the latest KOMTRAX technology

Automatic Real Time Digging ControlWith the world’s first intelligent Machine Control excavator, the bucket is automatically limited from digging beyond the target surface.

The control function maintains grade automati-cally, with real-time bucket edge positioning in rela-tion to the machine and the job surface.

Status is instantly displayed on the full colour,

multi-function 12.1” control box monitor, eliminat-ing the wait time associated with conventional sen-sors.

The intelligent Machine Control excavator lets the operator focus on moving material efficiently, with no worry about digging too deep. The touch screen control box monitor, makes grading easy and accurate with a facing angle compass, a light bar and audio guidance.

Information such as real-time “as-built” status, a magnified fine grading view or a 3D bird view can be displayed simultaneously.

By setting 3D design data on the control box monitor, staking can be reduced or eliminated, as can surveying and final inspection. Safety is greatly improved, with less people needed on the job site and near the machine.

Three Year WarrantyKeeping in step with trends emerging through more and more manufacturers, the latest excavator and the two new dozers are supported by Komatsu CARE, a complimentary maintenance program for Komatsu customers that comes as standard with every new Komatsu EU Stage IIIB construction machine.

CaseConstructionEquipmenthaslaunchedthe new F Series range of compact wheel loaders that are designed to set new standardsofproductivity,versatility,comfort,allwithlowcostofoperation.

T he four model line-up, ranging from the 4.4 ton 21F to the 6.2 ton 321F, has the power to

deliver consistently high levels of performance in every task with a powerful, highly efficient new hydraulic system. The models, all with Tier IV Final compliant engines, are a replacement to existing models.

Designed for productivityThe optimal weight distribution enables the new compact wheel loader to lift a much larger pallet load than its predecessor. For example, at the low end of the range, the 21F XT is designed to lift up to 2,000 kg , which is 400 kg more than the 21E model it replaces.

The XT parallel linkage and Z-bar arms maintain the forks parallel to the ground, so the operator can handle pallets easily and faster. The design of the arm enables the operator to load the pallet on the opposite side of the truck, significantly speeding up loading operations.

The articulated joint and oscillating rear axle re-sult in excellent stability. When the front tyres hit a rock or a hole, there is no bucket roll motion so the full load stays in the bucket and the cab remains vertical, which results in greater operating comfort.

The cab has been lowered so that the compact wheel loaders can move easily within the jobsites and are easy to transport.

With the low cab profile, the 21F and 121F fall under the 2.5 meter threshold so that they can eas-ily travel under a 4 meter bridge when loaded on a truck. The narrow turning radius of the F Series compact wheel loaders further adds to their agility in tight spaces.

New Case F Series Tier IV Compliant Compact Wheel Loaders


What’s New - EquipmentWhen switching tasks, no time is wasted as

changing attachments only takes a few seconds with Case Connect-under-pressure. The connec-tors are automatically depressurized and no hand tools are needed.

Maintenance is also very quick and easy, with all service points accessible at ground level.

Powerful versatility and controlThe new hydraulic system delivers all the power needed to operate even the most demanding attachment. The ‘High Flow’ option, available on the 221F and 321F, increases flow from 70 to 130 litres per minute and enables the use of powered attachments such as snow blowers or asphalt planers that contribute to getting the job done faster.

The new compact wheel loaders feature a 4-wheel drive hydrostatic transmission that of-fers a 33 km/h High

Speed option on the 221F and 321F models with 2-gear mechanical gearbox.

The new Inch & Brake pedal progressively dis-engages the transmission in the decelerating phase while progressively engaging the brakes, giving the operator precise control of the machine at low speeds.

The High Flow option comes with the new Creep Speed, which provides maximum hydraulic flow at constant speed in the 0 to 5.5 km/h range, ideal for tasks such as asphalt planning, brooming, trench-

ing, compacting, and so on.

Further refinements in comfort and safetyThe cab of the new F Series compact wheel loaders provides a comfortable and safe work environment with features such as the 10 air vents, ergonomic layout, standard tilting adjustment of the steering wheel and the Case joystick with adjustable wrist rest.

The all-in-one joystick with proportional auxilia-ry control, flow memory button, float function and F-N-R switch puts all the machine’s controls in the operator’s hand.

The cab also comes with ROPS and FOPS Level 2 protection as standard, so that the operator can work safely with confidence on all jobsites.

Low emissions, High powerThe new compact wheel loaders have a 3.4 litre, 4-cylinder, turbocharged common rail FPT Industrial engine with Waste Gate. This feature reduces drops in turbo pressure, resulting in fast engine response under load and superior turbocharger reliability.

The F Series meets Tier 4 Final emissions stand-ards with a unique maintenance free solution de-veloped by FPT Industrial that relies on Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR), a Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC) and a Particulate Matter (PM) catalyst. The quantity of PM is reduced in the DOC through a chemical reaction, and the residual PM is trapped

in the PM catalyst. When it reaches a cer-tain quantity in the catalyst, a light passive regeneration begins automatically.

Previously available as an option, Cat Grade Control Depth and Slope, a Cat Connect Grade technology, is now standard on Cat 323E L (N) hydraulic excavators sold in Europe with the 2.9 meter stick and standard reach boom.

This 2D system is integrated into the machine’s standard monitor and indicates real-time position-ing and cut-and-fill information. This assists opera-tors with efficiently and accurately achieving con-sistent depth and slope grades without guesswork. This results in faster times to complete work with fewer passes, increased fuel savings and minimal expense marking out and checking.

Significant productivity increases of up to 35% and documented fuel savings of up to 6 percent have been achieved with the system.

Cat Grade Control is integrated into the machine at the factory with sensors and components built into the machine. This reduces the risk of theft or damage during operation, protects the customer’s investment, and increases machine resale value.

Integrated joystick buttons allow operators to adjust grade settings without removing hands from the controls, while the display provides a simple en-vironment for the operator to interact with the sys-tem.

Audible warning indicators can be activated to alert the operator if the bucket cutting edge or tip is

above, on, or below grade.

Addition-ally, height and depth limit alerts can be set to warn the op-erator if the linkage or bucket ap-proaches a predefined elevation or depth, such as when digging near water lines, or in areas with low ceil-ings.

The system is easy to use, requiring only that the operator references a vertical starting point to “benchmark” the system – either by touching a known point, such as a hub or stake, or by referenc-ing a laser beam from a transmitter located on the job site.

The operator simply enters the desired depth and slope into the display and is ready to begin dig-ging to grade.

Vibratory plates with only good vibrationsThe latest innovation for reversible vibratory plates from Wacker Neuson in the weight class from 300 to 800 kilograms (or 40 to 100 kN of compaction performance) reduces vibration values to less than 1.5 m/s² for hand-arm vibrations. According to the Directive 2002/44/EC, the operator may, therefore

work without a time limitation with this equipment.

With a new damping concept, Wacker Neuson has managed to reduce the hand-arm

vibrations to a val-ue that allows the operator to work without a time limita-tion and at the same time pro-vides for more

comfort and safety.

The diesel-powered vibratory plates DPU 4545, DPU 5545 and DPU 6555 achieve values of less than 1.5 m/s². The DPU 4045 lies at just 0.9 m/s².

The advantages for customers are obvious: they have powerful vibratory plates, save time and mon-ey due to the reduced documentation and training effort and operators benefit from the low hand-arm vibrations, which ensure more comfortable and gentle work.

With the introduction of the new center pole, Wacker Neuson is now offering the entire product series of reversible vibratory plates - from 140 to 800 kilograms with an operating time of at least one working day. The vibration values are below the trigger value of 2.5 m/s²; for the 30 kN equip-ment vibration values are below the exposure limit of 5 m/s² (permissible working time: 8 hours per day).

• Wacker Neuson UK





The construction industry is becoming more and more concerned about the health risks associated with hand-arm vibration, and various directives have been issued to minimise the risk.

These directives restrict the amount of vibration an operator can be exposed to. The effect of this is to make relatively simple jobs extremely time con-suming.

So any contractor that is involved in concrete drilling, breaking, etc will immediately see a benefit in a device that virtually eliminate vibration.

One possible solution is that provided by the Canadian company, RNP Industries, which is now available in the UK through STM in Hertfordshire.

The drilling and breaking machine has been de-signed to minimise the problem of hand/arm vibra-tion when operating air powered hammers, chisels, rock drills, scabblers and diamond core drills.

The Positioner-Actuator-Manipu-lator unit (PAM) allows an operator to greatly increase the time that a tool can be safely used by having it firmly secured to an air over hydraulic pow-ered, two-piece arm which almost completely isolates vibration from the PAM’s hand controls.

Typical vibration levels are just 2.5 to 2.7 m/s². These low figures have been achieved by a combination of the tool carrier being suspended from a free-moving knuckle joint and an under- mounted air ram which, at the

push of a button, forces the tool onto the work point.

Contractor Puts PAM to the testOn a recent job to repair a pair of concrete bridge abutments in Watford town centre, Kent based, Top Bond plc ,was able to complete all the concrete removal work in just two days, rather than the originally calculated two weeks.

This dramatic time reduction resulted from the PAM machine’s ability to be used continuously. Hand held electric breakers would have required severely restricted working times due to the opera-tors exposure to HAV.

Because the full weight of the tool being used is carried by the two piece arm, the PAM is very easy to use on both walls and ceilings using tools weigh-ing up to 16 kg.

The unit is mounted on four castors to enable it to be pushed into position prior to applying the brake and deploying three adjustable support legs.

Weighing only 525 kg without a tool in place, the machine can be easily transported in a typical high roof 3.5 tonne van. The size and weight also means that it can work effectively at height when positioned on a scissor lift or mast climbing work-

platform.

Compact dimen-sions also means that it can pass through small opening for working inside build-ings or other restrict-ed areas.
