SAVE 20% ON FUEL CONSUMPTION

Indeco upgrade the hydraulic system on HP series breakers, the new series name become Fuel Saving (FS). Compared to other manufacturers’ models of equivalent weight and performance, Indeco breakers require less oil per minute and lower operating pressure. And as using lower hydraulic power means reducing the rpm on the carrier, this leads to fuel savings of up to 20%, while ensuring optimum performance and maximum productivity. This advantage is even more clear-cut if we compare the Indeco breaker with gas- or gas/oil-powered products of similar sizes manufactured by their competitors. All of the new breakers in the Indeco HP range will be displaying the FS badge. www.indeco.it –

Kerlite has been chosen due to the numerous properties which are intrinsic to this product: its flexibility, the reduced cost of the ceramics, the increased convenience in terms of maintenance, the intrinsic resistance to fire and the durability. www.cottodeste.it 29

Road construction and industrial sites make the highest possible demands on the loadbearing abilities of drainage channels. Hauraton offers two product families: Faserfix and Recyfix which meet all the demands. Faserfix is made of fibrereinforced concrete and makes it possible to create extremely stable products with slim channel walls and reduced weight at the same time. Recyfix is a material made from 100% recycled composite. The light-weight material is also very stable and especially easy to handle. Parts can even be cut to size on site without any trouble. www.hauraton.com

The work, valued at about €301 million, should be finished in 70 months, while completion of the entire Brenner tunnel is expected by 2025. The construction of the southern section is significant for its technical complexity. It will go under the Isarco River with four tunnels at 60 metres each thanks to the use of liquid nitrogen to freeze the earth, rock and detritus between the tunnels and the riverbed, making the ground waterproof. The passage under the river is only a part of this complex project that was designed with total respect for the environment. www.salini-impregilo.com
