Bandra-Worli Sea Link (BWSL) is the first-of-its-kind civil engineering marvel on Mumbai?s coastline. With its cable-stayed towers soaring gracefully skywards, the sea link is a reflection of the modern infrastructure that Mumbai added in its progress towards becoming a world-class city.

CE Maintenance and Hydrostatic System

Pankaj Srivastava elaborates on the major cause of failures in hydraulic systems and steps to be taken to prevent these failures. Hydraulics, ie, transmitting power by supplying or pushing fluids in a confined area is most common medium of power transmission

Intelligent Compaction

Performance and productivity remain key issues for compactor manufacturers, with firms keen to enhance output from their latest units. EQUIPMENT INDIA takes a peek into the features major OEMs have built in, in terms of improving machine

Versatility to Steer Growth

As the affordability of the skid steers becomes more attractive with respect to the loader backhoes, its popularity will increase among the hiring segment that will up the demand curve. The current demand for skid steer is not quite promising.

Steering the Growth

Skid steer, the little cute machine, is steadily carving a niche amidst the Goliaths of construction equipment space. Such a versatile piece of machine when clubbed with a variety of attachments, still has not got its due yet.

Engineering growth

Think of cranes, loaders, vibratory rollers and forklifts and the name Escorts Construction Equipment, the manufacturers and marketers of a diverse range of construction and material handling equipment, will immediately come to mind.

Application and orientation have always been driving factors at Escorts

Dynapac launches new CA Rollers

Dynapac?s fifth-generation of single-drum vibratory rollers were most enthusiastically received.

Compacting Technology Set to Improve

The new trend in technology is faster compaction by achieving the required density at a lower operating cost. Also, the latest equipment is designed with features to improve operator safety, comfort and maintainability.

A 100 per cent density can be achieved using either 10T or 18T vibratory rollers

?With the help of vibratory rollers, the degree of compaction is better (95-98 per cent) achieved than with the static ones.

Vibratory Compactor Vs static

Agith G Antony finds out the technical aspects of compaction from Pradeep Kathuria, Head -Essar Equipment Bank, Essar Projects India.

The Road Ahead

With more than 60 per cent of the cargo movement done by India's large network of roads, the road-building sector in the country has offered major growth opportunities for the construction equipment industry.

On the Road
