ANNIVERSARY

The "zero tail swing" concept, also referred to as "zero overhang", is the function enabling the machine superstructure to turn on its chassis while remaining within the radius of its crawlers. The first mini-excavator equipped with the Zero Tail Swing system, designated "ViO" by Yanmar, was unveiled for the first time at Bauma, the world's biggest construction machinery trade fair, in Munich in 1995. The advantage of this system is that it makes the mini-excavators extremely manoeuvrable in tight or confined spaces or when working close to walls, foundations or other obstacles that restrict movement. www.yanmar.eu

HIGHLY ECONOMICAL Jungheinrich has launched a new flatbed truck: the new, compact and manoeuvrable EZW 515, which can be used either as a flatbed truck (up to 1.5 tons) or a tow tractor (up to 3 tons). “This new vehicle is suitable for a number of different application types – both indoors and outdoors”, reports Oliver Rosenthal, PM for tow tractors at Jungheinrich. The application fields for this rugged flatbed truck extend all the way from the swift supply of parts to maintenance operations to heavy-duty jobs as a four wheel tow tractor for the production area. The truck’s 48-Volt three-phase AC motor provides for powerful acceleration and high top speeds. Even when carrying heavy loads, the EZW 515 reaches speeds of up to 18 km/h. An optional built-in charger facilitates particularly easy battery charging. The charger can be quickly and conveniently plugged into standard electricity sockets. www.jungheinrich.com EC 801

Molten steel transport is a red-hot topic for steelworks around the world. As a result, extremely reliable and safe vehicles are very much in demand. However, they are frequently only suitable for short distances due to their low maximum speed. The articulated Kamag Ladle Carrier 3503 reaches considerably higher speeds than conventional vehicles for the transportation of molten steel, thus facilitating extremely efficient working operations. With a payload of 180 t and a length close to 16 metres, the Kamag Ladle Carrier 3503 has a very imposing appearance. However, what makes the vehicle even more impressive is the cost balance. The Kamag Ladle Carrier 3503 are characterized by an increased top speed. www.kamag.com

Under the name of Klang Valley Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) Project three new metro lines are planned with sections above and below ground. Construction of the metro began with the 51 kilometer long Sungai Buloh-Kajang Line. It extends from Sungai Buloh in the north to Kajang in the south of Kuala Lumpur. While the majority of the route is above ground, the city center is crossed under with a total of 9.5 kilometers of tunnel in the form of two singletrack tunnels. A special challenge is the very heterogeneous geology, in particular a karst limestone formation with caverns connected by a network of crevices and fissures.

ROAD SAFETY SOLUTIONS

Roadway design can be a highly iterative process with designers having to balance multiple factors the demands of geographic and financial constraints, compliance with geometric guidelines, management of safety, as well as providing suitable capacity for vehicles. The traffic simulation and analysis capabilities included in the latest update to Autodesk InfraWorks 360 brings us closer to a position where all of these considerations can be addressed in a single, intelligent 3D model, drastically cutting the time required to gain approval from all internal parties on the final design. The addition of Traffic Simulation is not the only update. On the collaboration side, the ability to share models in read-only mode has been added to provide designers better control over their model data, as well as many other new features for Road, Rail and Bridge design. www.autodesk.com

EUROPEAN BASE TUNNELS Focus on the status of the work at the Gotthard and Ceneri base tunnel. Commissioning of the BrunnenErstfeld section was successfully completed in the night of Saturday, August 15, to Sunday, August 16, 2015, AlpTransit said. In the Gotthard Base Tunnel, the overall integration tests were successfully started on August 18, 2015. At the end of August 2015 in the Gotthard Base Tunnel, 99% of the railway systems had been installed. Of the total of 39.78 km of the Ceneri Base Tunnel, at the end of August 2015, 38.28 km, or 96.2%, had been excavated. In the Ceneri Base Tunnel in northward direction, around 750 metres remain to be cut to the lot boundary at Vigana and the two final breakthroughs. The Gotthard Tunnel is scheduled to become operational at the end of 2016, the Ceneri Tunnel at the end of 2020. www.alptransit.ch

An interesting use of the Lynx Mobile Mapper Dynamic Laser scanner in railways - managed by the Italian company Sineco - was a high-yield survey campaign along the Ponticino-II Bivio section of the RomaFirenze Railway, aimed at determining the geometric features of the railway. Data were acquired by installing the Lynx Mobile Mapper on a dedicated railway wagon and by moving along the above mentioned section at a constant speed of 30-40 km/h. Some details of the survey: overall development of the railway line: Approx. 15,000 m; average Survey Speed: 35 km/h; average distance between laser points: 3-5 cm. Among the reports elaborated after the survey, a general planimetric map (in CAD format) with all the distinctive features of the railway, such as track axis, ballast limits, bridges, tunnels, overpasses, retaining walls, buildings,

fencings, sidewalks, etc. From the general planimetric map detailed plans were extracted, divided in 1 km sections and comprehensive of a 3D model of the ground through both triangular mesh and Contour Lines with an equidistant elevation of 10 cm. To complete the elevation survey, a xyz plan with points with a centre distance of approx. 3 m was included. www.sinecoing.it

The work relies on the help of four pieces of Ammann equipment to renovate and expand the takeoff and landing runway of the airport complex. The improvements, according to Infraero, will enable new flights to be added to the 19 daily trips. It is expected that the work, which began in 2013, will be finalized in 2015. Aracaju Airport is the only public airfield in the state that receives scheduled flights. Located 12 km from the city's downtown area, the complex receives approximately 6,000 people daily. www.ammann-group.com

Forestry wheeled skidder LKT 82 is based on a proven model series LKT 81. The skidder is conceptually identical and ensures partial uniformity of individual aggregates and parts. Higher performance of 93 kW Iveco engine gives the machine extra power, however, in spite of the more powerful engine, low level of noise in the cabin and low overall weight of the machine is maintained. Designed for work in the most demanding conditions, the skidder steers by articulation of frames by means of two hydraulic cylinders. Model LKT 82 has hydrostatic drive with a mechanical two-gear transfer case. For winching and skidding the logs from the forests or woods, it has been equipped with an ideally dimensioned double-drum winch with the pulling force of 80 kN and movable rear shield. www.lkttrstena.sk
