Towards Greener Future

Asphalt is regaining traction in the Indian road construction due to its better recyclability and the freedom to use waste materials like plastics along with asphalt mix. The future looks greener for asphalt mixing plants.

Building Better Roads

The Ministry of Surface Transport has set an objective of building 40 km of roads a day from 2017-18 from the current level of 18 km a day. This has resulted in a paradigm shift in the use of road construction and rehabilitation methods and technologies.

The Road Ahead

In spite of the government's policy shift towards building four- and six-lane National Highways as concrete roads, plans to construct more rural roads and coastal roads will drive the demand for asphalt plants in the future. EQUIPMENT INDIA explores the road ahead for asphalt plants.

Asphalt Removal in Record-Breaking Time

Three Wirtgen cold milling machines (two W 210 and one W 200i) and two Wirtgen soil stabilisers (WR 2000) demonstrate their productivity and reliability at Alghero-Fertilia Airport in Sardinia.

Asphalt Recycling

Millions of tonnes of asphalt have being wasted in the country, when these could be properly treated and recycled for rehabilitation of road projects and new pavements.

ASTEC debuts double barrel HR at ConExpo

As Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) usage continues to increase as a way for producers to keep costs down while utilising stockpiles of reclaimed asphalt pavement, ASTEC has increased the ability of its signature double barrel drum dryer/mixer to handle RAP. The ASTEC double-barreled HR includes enhancements to the drum which allows use of up to 65 per cent RAP. A 1/8 model of the new high RAP double barrel drum was on display during the ConExpo 2014 trade show in Las Vegas.

Astec Voyager to run RAP

ASTEC Inc has introduced the 120 mtph Voyager plant with compact, highly portable design. Unique for a plant in this class is the ability to run up to 30 per cent reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP). In addition, it is backed by the best service support in the industry.

Hot Mix Technology: On Solid Ground

The current challenges in hot mix asphalt pavement-making in India is to manage sustainability, conserve energy and natural resources, eliminate waste yet achieve a pavement quality with competitive cost per unit length.

The double barrel green system does not require the addition of commercial additives

TIL has always introduced world class products and is firmly associated with India's infrastructure development. Considering India's hot mix asphalt pavements` making needs and challenges, TIL has introduced the latest technology from Astec Inc,

Milling and recycling

The W 50 DC Wirtgen small milling machine sets standards in the 50-cm class.For decades, the name Wirtgen has been synonymous with innovative, high-quality milling technology worldwide. The company offers its customers a complete range of products that leaves nothing to be desired and is unrivalled in the international market.

We stay committed to delivering solutions for the economical & technical challenges.

?The global change in environment and economy is now forcing us to look at sustainable development. Unless road-building professionals don?t go green, they will not be able to survive. We are excited to find that more and more professional road building companies are showing deep interest in producing high content RAP

Cold Milling Machine Technology

Rehabilitation of roads to overcome the existing problems, by cold milling technology, is the most cost-effective, suitable and eco-friendly solution at hand.Growing volumes of traffic and increasing axle loads leave the pavement wearing course severely damaged and unusable for the traffic in city roads and highways.

It?s Time to RAP

With over Rs 700 billion being invested in the road sector in 2010-11 alone, it?s high time we moved up to highly efficient and sustainable technologies that help optimise resources, considerably reduce pollutants and keep to a minimum damage to the environment

Sustainable solutions

If the numbers can be believed, in India, about 15,000 tonne of aggregates are required per kilometre of highway. A typical project of National Highway Development Project (NHDP), of 60 km of road improvement requires 20 lakh tonne of virgin material

We are expanding network to be closer to our customers

The complete range of jaw, cone, HSI and VSI crushers offered by the ASTEC Group (Telsmith and KPI-JCI) is available to TIL for exploring the markets in India, says R Nandagopal, Vice President - Equipment & Project Solutions, TIL.

Mobile & Moving Up

Out of the total market for the CE industry, the share of crushing and screening equipment (CSE) is pegged at 13 per cent - that is, US $ 30 billion across 2012-17; what's more, the CSE market is projected to grow at the rate of 15-20 per cent YoY for the next five years.

Road Equipment: Green Light for Road Equipment

With more than 60 per cent of the cargo movement being done by the road network, the focus will be on road infrastructure which in turn, will provide great impetus to the growth prospects of road construction equipment.
