Our Applications
From Curb to Curb and Twenty Inches Deep
From mining and milling to paving and compaction, the name Wirtgen Group and its four brands - Wirtgen, Vögele, Hamm and Kleemann - is synonymous with road construction in North America. Leanr how a Wirtgen Group fleet can make your operation smarter, safer, and more sustainable across every application.
Site Preparation
Robust solutions:This applies to every layer below the road surface or structure, from the subgrade to frost protection and base layers.Through soil stabilization and high-grade compaction, these layers gain the necessary load-bearing capacity and can act as the foundation for long-lasting roads and buildings. In short: building for the long term begins with the soil.
Pavement replacement
Fast and effective: Roads have to withstand heavy loads, which over time lead to fatigue and deterioration and cause serious long-term damage. As long as only the top layer of the road structure is affected, Surface Layer Rehabilitation is an appropriate maintenance measure.
Paving Thin Layers Hot
A streamlined solution: Paving Thin Layers Hot is the perfect solution for roads in need of rehabilitation that only exhibit surface damage. A particularly cost-effective alternative to complete rehabilitation is the “paving thin layers hot” process using a paver with spray assembly for bitumen emulsion from VÖGELE.
In-Situ Cold Recycling
Green road rehabilitation: Once the bearing capacity of the asphalt surface layer has been compromised, the road structure must be completely rehabilitated. The trend is currently moving towards environmentally friendly and cost-effective solutions that involve recycling the damaged road surface: during the cold in-place (or in-situ).
Asphalt recycling
The asphalt cycle: In industrially developed countries, significantly more roads are rehabilitated or extended than completely new roads are built. But what happens to the old road surface? Recycling asphalt is an economic imperative in order to conserve natural resources.
