The transport infrastructure needs in economically emerging regions of the Asia-Pacific are so significant that roads are being built at an unprecedented rate.
As the world’s largest archipelago experiences year-on-year growth, smart and reliable machines are required to iron out a solid infrastructure for Indonesia. Which is why in North Jakarta, contractor PT Widya Sapta Contractor counted on Volvo’s P6820C to widen the road access on an industrial estate – completing the project in just one week.
The Volvo P6820C was able to continuously pave while providing good compaction results.
The new Volvo P6820C tracked paver offers paving widths of 2.5 m to 10 m and is powered by a 142 kW, Tier-3 compliant engine to offer an average paving output up to 700 tons per hour. Equipped with a smart power mode, the P6820C paver offers up to 30% in fuel savings compared with its predecessor. Volvo Variomatic screeds provide customers with hydraulically-extending widths and the paver can also be configured with manual screeds.
The redevelopment of a 130 km road from Aurangabad to Dhule in Maharashtra, led by road construction contractor Deshmukh & Co, was completed in just four months thanks to the Volvo P4370B paver.
The Volvo P4370B paver completed the large construction project in just four months.
Manufactured at Volvo’s plant in Bangalore, the P4370B wheeled sensor paver has a basic width of 2.5 m, a rated power of 88 kW and a paving output of 600 t/h. The wheeled sensor paver features intelligent operating technology that helps the machine meet three requirements in line with highway design: mat thickness, mat level and grade requirement. The company says the P4370B’s productivity makes it a standout performer.
“Volvo machines have high uptime and rarely give us any trouble at all. But when we do need spare parts or service, Svenska Technologies is just a phone call away.”
The machine averaged 5 km a day.
