Coloured asphalt surfaces in Baden-Baden meet the same quality requirements as black asphalt surfaces – thanks to machine technology from VÖGELE and HAMM.
Germany | Baden-Baden
The park along the Lichtenthaler Allee is typical of the magnificent townscape of the spa city Baden-Baden. The landscaping project comprised two sections with different space conditions and sizes. To create the visual impression of gritted avenues and simultaneously ensure durability, a stone-mastic asphalt with beige colour pigments was used to surface the area. While the VÖGELE SUPER 800i Mini Class paver with its compact dimensions and different feeding options was absolutely ideal for the smaller job site section, the SUPER 1300-3i was perfect for the requirements of the larger section, featuring a pave width of up to 5m. Both machines were supported by the two HAMM rollers of the CompactLine series.
Both landscaping projects in Baden-Baden required a great deal of flexibility with regard to manœuvrability, pave width and feeding. When landscaping outdoor areas located directly in the park, the VÖGELE Mini Class SUPER 800i tracked paver was therefore used to pave the surface course with beige coloured asphalt. As there was an underground car park below the job site and it was essential to prevent cracking in the ceiling slab, the compact HAMM roller type HD 10 VO with oscillation took centre-stage during compaction. On the second section, a VÖGELE Compact Class SUPER 1300-3i tracked paver showed off its skills. Here, 160t of coloured asphalt mix had to be paved. The HAMM HD 10 VO and HD 10 VV rollers were used for compaction.
The extremely compact SUPER 700i and SUPER 800i Mini Class pavers are the right choice for very confined job sites, be they tight, low or narrow. Featuring pave widths ranging from 0.5m up to a maximum of 3.5m, an asymmetrical material hopper for space-saving feeding by lorries and delivering excellent precompaction values with the state-of-the-art AB 220 TV Extending Screed, VÖGELE Mini Class tracked pavers prove that it is possible to pave in very confined spaces without compromising on technology, performance and operating comfort.
Whether it is used to give signals to road users at crossings, to direct the flow of traffic or as an attractive design element in landscaping applications — coloured asphalt is an excellent way for urban planners, landscape designers and construction companies to create effects. The mix is produced using “colourless bitumen”, a synthetic binder based on mineral oil, that is coloured with pigments.
High-quality materials, design challenges, unusual colours — landscaping projects confront contractors with an increasingly varying range of tasks. The machine technology employed is every bit as versatile — and impressive, right down to the last detail. With the Compact Class and Mini Class pavers and the HD CompactLine rollers, VÖGELE and HAMM supply reliable and perfectly dimensioned solutions with high operating comfort.
Good compaction performance, even in tight conditions: the rollers of the HD CompactLine are equally suitable for crushed stone, gravel or sand as well as for standard and special asphalt types. They can hence tackle a wide array of applications — in road construction, landscaping and building construction alike. With models ranging from the HD 8 to the HD 14, the series includes everything from tandem rollers with two vibratory drums or with one vibratory and one oscillating drum to combination and rubber-wheeled rollers.
Small to medium-sized construction projects with confined conditions: this is the domain of this manœuvrable compact paver generation. From combined foot and cycle paths to urban roads, farm tracks and small to medium-sized areas — with the four wheeled or tracked paver models SUPER 1000i, SUPER 1003i, SUPER 1300-3i and SUPER 1303-3i, VÖGELE supply optimum machine solutions for the building of new roads and for pavement rehabilitation with pave widths ranging from 0.75m to 5m.
