Kimera, European manufacturer of mobile continuous batching plants, has already supplied 4 K55 plants to Flamecrete Zambia which deals with Lafarge Group. After this first step it is likely that the company will establish a new operation base in Kitwe, capital of the Copperbelt region. The Kimera K55 is a 9 m³ capacity mobile continuous batching plant, able of a maximum hourly production rate of 55 m³/h. The particular feature, compared to a standard transit mixer, is represented by the materials which remain separated until the production cycle starts, producing high quality, fresh concrete. www.kimera.net

MAGNI SOLUTION IN ACTION

Mining sites and quarries are two of the main fields for which they developed a specific range of heavy duty machines, the HTH range. In specific they developed the following models, which are mainly used and requested in this field: HTH 27.11, HTH 30.12, HTH 35.12 and HTH 45.14.

These are the middle and biggest models of the Magni range and have a lifting capacity of respectively 27 tons, 30 tons, 35 tons and 45 tons; these machines can help in servicing the huge mining machines used on sites; in fact, thanks to the wide range of attachments, they can handle and

place pipelines for crude petroleum with special clamp, pull and place the segments which compose the conveyor belts systems with a pin hook or make maintenance on big mining machines thanks to the wheel and cylinder clamps (photo). www.magnith.com

MISSION IS POSSIBLE

MOBA’s present a new Wheel Loader Weighing system. The weight in the bucket is determined by means of pressure sensors that measure the hydraulic pressure in front of and behind the hydraulic cylinder. Because the respective position of the bucket is also critical here, a slope sensor on the arm and a two-axis slope sensor measure the precise position. The exact weight can thereby be determined. The Moba system displays the weight in real time on the 3.5 inch screen. Alternatively, an intended target weight can be entered and the system then counts down the loaded weight to zero.

Dynamic weighing and loading exactly according to the approved weight are entirely possible without needing to interrupt the work process. www.moba.de

The range of MTU Onsite Energy now has four new application categories for its diesel engines and gensets built for 50Hz power generation. These are 'Mission Critical Power', 'Data Center Continuous Power', 'Standby Power with Overload' and 'Grid Stability Power'.

The works involve the enlarging and modernizing of 14 kilometres of NR-8 Breslava-VarsaviaBiałystok, (from mm 601+700 to km 615+960.85). Also planned is the construction of two interchanges (Sikory and Kobylin), 9 viaducts and related works.

MODIFIED ASPHALT Rubber powder is one of the main ELT-derived products. In Italy about 25% of recovered ELTs are subject to a treatment and recovery process which reduces the ELT to increasingly small fragments, culminating in the production of fine rubber powder with a grain size of less than one millimetre.

Ecopneus, one of the leading companies responsible for the management and treatment of end-of-life tyres in Italy, is also engaged in the promotion of new applications and end uses of these derived products, such as the use of rubber powder as an additional component of as–

Modified asphalts contain binders that ensure: higher resistance to permanent deformation due to the high viscosity of the binder; greater elasticity and high performance of the road surface both at high and low temperatures; excellent resistance of the bituminous mix to the action of water without any need for specific additives; SAM/SAMI treatments that prolong the life of the road surface. www.ecopneus.it 29

THE NEW NY BRIDGE “The New NY Bridge” will cross the Hudson River to connect Rockland and Westchester counties in New York. Replacing the outmoded Tappan Zee Bridge, the crossing features twin tower cable-stayed main spans with 1,200-foot center spans. Each bridge carries four general traffic lanes plus shoulders, extra-wide emergency lanes, and

a shared-use bicycle and pedestrian path with scenic overlooks. The bridge is being designed and built for USD 3.14 billion by the Tappan Zee Constructors, LLC, consortium, with HDR as lead designer.

BIM methods were used to create an asdesigned 3D model.

Bentley products included MicroStation, InRoads Suite, RM Bridge, Leap RC-Pier, Bentley Map, Geopak Civil Engineering Suite, i-model Transformer, Bentley Descartes, AECOsim Building Designer, and ProjectWise. Bentley software provided a more accurate design with less of a learning curve. Tappan Zee Constructors LLC (TZC), comprised of Fluor Enterprises, Inc., American Bridge Company, Granite Construction Northeast, Inc., and Traylor Bros., Inc., formed a joint venture that combines local, national, and international experience to design and construct the New NY Bridge. TZC received an executed contract and a notice to proceed (NTP) in 2013. The project is underway. Construction will take approximately five years with completion projected for 2018. www.hdrinc.com
