Stringless concrete paving
German construction contractor “VSB infra” takes advantage of the benefits of AutoPilot 2.0 for the paving of a poured in-place concrete safety barrier.
In the future, the eastbound and westbound lanes of the A 43 Autobahn near the city of Münster, Germany, will be separated by a poured in-place concrete safety barrier. The effectiveness and permanence of such construction elements for the passive protection of road users makes them the preferred vehicle restraint system, especially on sections of roads with heavy traffic.
The monolithic profile will be paved by an SP 25i using the slipform paving method. The use of AutoPilot 2.0 on this project eliminates the need for the paving crew from VSB infra GmbH & Co. KG to set up a stringline for controlling the machine. They use the 3D control system whenever and wherever possible.
