621FXT Wheel Loader, designed specifically for working within the waste and recycling management sectors, together with the versatile Tier 4 SV185 Skid Steer Loader.

The Case wheel loader range offers up to 15% lower fuel consumption compared with the previous series and is equipped with powerful low emission Tier 4i engines, and selective catalytic reduction (SCR), which kills the spark in the exhaust and eliminates the need for a particulate filter (no high temperature exercise). www.casece.com

THE BEGINNING OF A NEW ERA The new generation of Bobcat 1-2 ton compact excavators have been designed and built with three main objectives: Provide superior performance and stability, comfortable space for the operator, and best-in-class quality and reliability. Three models are available: E17, E19 and E20. The Bobcat E17 canopy has a standard operating weight of 1,711 kg and a maximum dig depth of 2.249 m.

crane, but with extra-long reach.

The Grove RT770E’s five-section, full-power boom features singlecylinder technology that eliminates the need for a hydraulic hose reel, which lightens the boom, and in turn, the entire crane. The design also eliminates the need to install boom inserts, which requires an assist crane, thus saving both time and money. The 42 m (138 ft) boom guarantees the reach of a larger rough-terrain crane, but without having to upgrade to the 75 t (80 USt) to 80 t (90 USt) crane class, in which cranes are heavier on the road and require more space on the job site. www.manitowoccranes.com

STRONG AND FAST The leader of the pack lives up to its name once again with the launch of its new powerful city crane Wolff 5014 city. It is the strongest crane in its class. It is not only impressive because of its high load carrying capacity, but also because of its outstanding lifting speeds and Wolffkran’s undeniably easy assembly configuration.

It was presented to the public at the construction equipment exhibiton in Bern on 18 - 23 March. The number of people living in cities is steadily on the rise and so too is the need for new living space. Compact cranes are in high demand at inner-city construction sites. These cranes have to be both powerful and easy to assemble. The engineers from Heilbronn focused their latest development on this demographic trend and in doing so further extended their range of small trolley jib cranes with the flat top Wolff 5014 city. www.wolffkran.ch

Some benefits: the control system will save 25-30% of energy and will ensure total safety, approaching the tunnel area. This will reduce the operational cost and contribute to a cleaner environment, and safer lighting comfort. www.reverberi.it

NOISE ABATEMENT Alubel is an Italian company producing a wide range of systems for sound absorbing and insulating barriers designed to achieve the highest possible results in reducing noise and in line with national and EC standards concerning fixed structures for attenuating irritating sounds. Noise abatement, technically defined as “insertion loss”, is achieved by Alubel solutions using sound absorbing and sound insulating materials that create a solid structure with no gaps to ensure against noise escaping and compromising the functionality of the barrier over time.

Andrew Wolstenholme, Crossrail Chief Executive said: “We continue to make good progress on Crossrail’s tunnels. The end is now in sight on Crossrail’s tunneling marathon, but there is much more to do in the form of installing railway systems and fitting out the stations.” 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. www.crossrail.co.uk

TUNNELLING MARATHON Crossrail’s TBM 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, named after Olympic champion Jessica Ennis-Hill CBE, completed her 900 metre journey in just 9 weeks, travelling as far as 41 metres per day. The machine will now be dismantled, with parts returned to manufacturer Herrenknecht for use on other tunnelling projects. Jessica is 150 metres long and 7.1 metres in diameter and was staffed by teams of 20 people. Tunnel segments were made in Chatham, Kent and transported to Limmo by river barge. It is Jessica’s second Crossrail tunnel drive, having already created one of the

The Snoline SAB system, recently installed on the new Italian motorway A35 BreBeMi, presents a cost-effective solution to the problem of providing openings in median barrier. Road agencies need this capability for emergency vehicle access and evacuation, traffic re-routing, and work zone and maintenance applications. The SAB system can be opened and closed, partially or totally, without expensive electrical power supplies or sophisticated controls system, and secure lock systems can be provided to assure authorized usage only. The Snoline system allows impact absorption with reduced dynamic deflection and redirection of small and heavy vehicles at a small angle. The system, according to the definition in ENV 1317-4, is a removable barrier section specifically created for gaps between barriers in the central reservations of roads and motorways. www.snoline.com

MAINTENANCE METHODOLOGY In many countries the asphalt road deterioration is a growing problem. The origin is to be searched in the traffic increase and in thermal stress. The resources for maintenance works are limited and in any case not sufficient to keep the roads under appropriate conditions.

Ferriere Nord has contributed to the

development of a new road construction and maintenance methodology thanks to the use of bituminous concrete reinforced with electrowelded wire mesh (EU Reflex project).

Reflex wire meshes represent one of the most innovative solutions in terms of road safety and economic saving, thanks to a reduction of overall construction and maintenance costs during the entire structure life, as well as from an ecological point of view, through the reduction of the resources used. www.ferriere.pittini.it

A special event was held on the 4th June, in the presence of the Director of the National Roads & Motorways Company (Anas), to mark the first turn of the cutting head. The 15.08 m diameter earth pressure TBM, christened Barbara, was supplied by NFM Technologies for use in this project to improve the existing regional road network. The machine is expected to excavate two tubes, each of 3900 m. The completion of th dig is schedulded for the end of 2015. Ranked amongst the most important tunnel-boring machine manufacturers on the world market, NFM provides its customers with tunneling machines of 4 to more than 15 metres in diameter, suited to all types of geology, acknowledged for their reliability and robustness. “Beyond TBM design and manufacture, we provide all services required DIRECT LINK for correct work site operation”, NFM says.
