VÖGELE Get the Job Done Accurate to the Millimetre

NAVITRONIC® Plus, the new VÖGELE system for 3D machine control, stood the test in practice.

On the contract for new construction of the L546 highroad by-passing the village of St. Leon-Rot, Germany, NAVITRONIC® Plus, the new VÖGELE system for 3D machine control, stood the test summa cum laude. Though the job included tight bends and several changes in transverse profile, the SUPER 1900-2 on the scene there worked fully automatically. All that remained to be done by the paving team was monitor the laying work’s progress and co-ordinate the feed of the paver with mix.

SprayJet versus Conventional Paving with Pre-Spraying of Emulsion

In many countries, paving binder and surface courses with conventional pre-spraying of emulsion is standard practice when rehabilitating roads. Normally, an emulsion of bitumen and water is applied to the milled base by spray bars and the water allowed to evaporate overnight. This is known as “breaking” of the emulsion.
