The Super 3000-2’s high traction and laydown rate make it ideal for roadbase applications. For placing non-bituminous materials of a particularly abrasive nature, a heavy-duty kit is available as an option, guaranteeing the long service life of all wearing parts.

The SB 300 fixed-width screed is also well equipped to take on big challenges. On this project, the screed came in the TP1 version with tamper and one pressure bar for a high compacting effort. This reduced the time needed for compaction and resulted in a uniform density.

Perfect evenness, on the other hand, was guaranteed by Niveltronic Plus. The system used data picked up by two mechanical grade sensors from a tensioned wire for grade and slope control.

The Super 3000-2 is designed to ensure excellent performance, even under extreme conditions. The 1.62 m wide and 40 cm high conveyor tunnel provides an uninterrupted flow of material to the paver. Segregation is prevented effectively by the optimal angle at which material is dumped from the conveyors

onto the auger. In addition, the large 480 mm diameter of the auger blades ensures that exactly the required amount of material is always available in front of the screed and the paving process can continue without interruption.

The material hopper holding 17.5 t and featuring individually operated hopper sides as well as an optional hydraulic hopper front, is another key factor, preventing spills of mix when feed vehicles change. For the conveyors, particularly powerful separate hydraulic drives are provided which, together with the high-performance auger system, ensure a continual flow of material, even when operating at varying speeds.

“After completing the cement-treated crushed-stone base with the Super 3000-2, we are still thoroughly impressed with the results. It is simply fantastic and we are certain that paving the much thinner asphalt layers will yield even more impressive results. We are also enthusiastic about the ErgoPlus operating concept. It makes the machine as simple and easy to operate as the smaller pavers from Vögele,” said Mr Chao. n

KING OF LIFTSChunjo Construction Co has recently completed a major lifting

project using a Manitowoc 31000 crawler crane at Korea Petrochemical Ind Co Ltd’s plant in Ulsan, South Korea. The

crane was transported from a previous job at a thermoelectric power plant in Taean, 400 km away. Once on site, the crane was assembled in nine days and positioned in a 40 m wide gap between plant equipment and a creek. From there the 31000, together with a Manitowoc 18000 support crane, lifted the 92 m high, 670 t tower into place.

The 31000 was fitted with Manitowoc’s Variable Position Counterweight (VPC) system, rigged with a 120 m main boom and completed the lift in just a few hours. The VPC enabled the 2,300 t capacity crane to perform the job with relative ease, saving more than half of the time and cost compared to using an alternative conventional crane.

The Manitowoc 31000 had to be positioned between existing refinery equipment and a small river, which left just 15 m for the counterweight. No conventional wheeled counterweight trolley could fit in such a small space but the great advantage of the 31000’s VPC system is that it is suspended above the ground, therefore minimising the crane’s footprint and – as a further advantage – saving ground preparation ahead of the lift.

“Any other crane would have taken eight months to complete this lift but we did it in just three – no other crane would be able to come close to that timeframe,” claimed Jang Hwan Chang, chairman at Chunjo. “Manitowoc’s flagship crawler crane overcomes the most challenging and costly lifts, and brings a fresh approach to construction challenges. We are delighted to see it perform. Each lift is getting bigger and we have more jobs lined

up that will change the game in terms of what’s expected from high capacity cranes,” he said.

Using its Manitowoc 31000, Chunjo avoided a large amount of time-consuming and costly work. A conventional crane would have lifted the tower in two sections. Scaffolding would have been needed around the first half of the tower, to allow workers to attach the second, top section. In addition, the river to the rear of the job site would have needed to have been filled to carry the wheeled counterweight trolley required to perform the lift.

As well as the Manitowoc 31000, the VPC system is standard on the 650 t capacity MLC650 and the 300 t capacity MLC300. These two cranes bring the same benefits of the unique moving counterweight innovation to a wider pool of users.

The VPC system on the Manitowoc 31000 automatically positions the counterweight to fit the required lift and ranges from 8 m fully

retracted to 29 m fully extended. The VPC system on the Manitowoc MLC650 and Manitowoc MLC300 does not require a fixed mast. It moves the standard crane counterweight along a rotating bed and is automatically positioned to fit the required lift. This reduces ground preparation, lowers ground-bearing pressure and requires less counterweight, without sacrificing capacity.

A capacity-enhancing VPC-MAX attachment is also available for both the MLC650 and MLC300 that increases capacity, and boom and jib combination lengths.

Established in 2009, Chunjo Construction has fast become one of the largest construction companies in South Korea. It has 110 in-house crane operators and runs a fleet of 115 Manitowoc cranes, including Manitowoc crawler cranes, Potain tower cranes and Grove mobile cranes. The company develops projects across Asia, the Middle East, Africa and South America. n

Fang Shan Road in Changzhou, Jiangsu province, China, connects a local iron ore mine to a state highway. The volume

of vehicles that pass through the road on a daily basis and the weight they carry has finally taken a toll. “Every day the traffic flow on this road is around 1,200-1,400 trucks, with an average load per truck of 50 t,” said Song Guo Ping, construction and equipment manager at Yixing Wanshida Highway Engineering. The company specialises in municipal, highway maintenance and new construction.

The road usage led to some specific needs when it came time for repaving. First, smoothness was important to minimise damage to the heavy trucks using the road. In addition, any mat irregularities would be more quickly exposed given the weight of the trucks.

Those weights also made necessary high mat intensity and density. Solutions included a tamper and vibratory screed, which provided immediate compaction. Also utilised were Cat CB534D XW tandem vibratory rollers. Their variable

frequencies and amplitudes provided the necessary punch to maximise compaction in anticipation of the heavy haul trucks that use the road.

The road is 11.2 km long and only 7 m wide, with about 20,000 t asphalt placed during the project. A base lift of 10 cm was

Shing Hong Machinery) provided us with a week of training,” he said. “It included operation training, application training and maintenance training. This made our team more familiar with the AP655D and its capabilities.”

A key reason for the selection of the AP655D was said to be the machine’s Mobil-Trac undercarriage system (MTS). The MTS helped the paver grip the surface while pushing haul trucks and the 30 t of asphalt they carried. “The Mobil-Trac undercarriage has combined the benefit of track and wheel pavers: flotation and traction, plus mobility and ride quality,” said Mr Song.

MTS also provides smoothness benefits, crucial on the paving of Fang Shan Road. Key to the undercarriages is fully bogied support rol lers that maintain contact with the surface regardless of irregularities. The oscillating bogies minimise deviations and tow point movement, leading to smoother mats. The irregularities are essentially eliminated before they lead to inaccurate adjustments.

The plant was located 35 km from the job site. The mix arrived at about 155º C and was placed at about 145º C.

With the road being only 7 m wide, there were no joints to worry about. However, the paver moved at a pace of about 3-4 m per minute. The paver placed a significant amount of material given the depths of 10 and 5 cm. Compactors also had to keep pace with the paver and do their job before the material cooled.

A Cat AS4251C screed was behind the paver. The screed’s tamper and vibratory features helped achieve initial compaction. The compaction process on both lifts was the same. Behind the paver came two Cat CB534D XW tandem vibratory rollers. Each roller made five passes, with a movement forward and back considered a single pass.

The breakdown roller worked about 5 m behind the paver. It operated in high vibratory mode in an effort to achieve as much early compaction as possible. The second roller utilised a vibratory frequency setting of 42.2 Hz for the first pass and 63.3 Hz for the second and third passes. The fourth and fifth passes were static. A pneumatic roller rounded out the compaction process. n

The new Sands Parisian casino resort in Macau is currently under construction - the latest in a series of Sands resorts in the region. The US$2.5 billion, 3,300-room casino and resort

complex will feature a 152 m high replica of the Eiffel Tower, which is expected to use 2,600 t of steel and due to be topped out at the end of this year. Alfasi Constructions (Macao) Ltd is responsible for the design, detailing, fabrication and erection of the steelwork, observation deck, lifts and mechanical and electrical works. To help erect the tower, the company is using a Liebherr LR1300 crawler crane.

According to Alfasi, when the initial design was being undertaken, a tower crane was proposed to erect the Eiffel Tower.

“We realised, however, that a tower crane would need a tie-back from the structure and that the structure would not be strong enough at high level to support the tower crane,” said Ramon Saoit, Alfasi’s construction manager. “The shape of the tower of course becomes more and more narrow, and so there was no way we could tie back the crane. Each side of the tower measures 60 m, so even with the longest jib we could use, we did not have the stability or the lift capacity.”

There was also the fact that the tower rests upon a two-basement level underground concrete structure, with the Eiffel Tower load transferred through the columns/pilecaps of the structure, so no foundations could be dug for a tower crane.

The 300 t LR1300SX was assembled on site, with very little room to manoeuvre, as other elements of the project are being built simultaneously and there is limited space for the crane to move backwards and forwards. “A problem we face here is high wind speeds during the second half of the year, with the possibility of typhoons,” said Mr Saoit.

“The regulations are that if the wind gusts at above 16 km/h, the jib of the crane has to be laid down. We did some research and found that winds of that strength occur on average about 10 days a year, and so we had to make provision for laying the boom on the ground. Because of the site configuration we can do this, as there is a corridor of land that we can use, but the jib goes right up to the boundary fence,” he explained.

Assembling the large parts of the tower on the ground, directly next to the tower foundation and the Liebherr crane, is to save time and manpower. “The largest sections are for the tower base, and they measure 60 m and weigh 19 t,” said Mr Saoit. “As we progress up the tower our limit is about 10 t. The crane, working at its full height, is 160 m, which is 8 m higher than the tower.”

One operator was initially used to operate the crane, and was provided with a three-day training at the Liebherr Hong Kong training centre in Fanling. With the erection work beginning, a second operator was hired to enable the crane to work two shifts a day, totalling 16 hours of worktime. n

‘ROAD’ TO CHENGDU

The capital city of Sichuan province, Chengdu, is a popular tourist destination for nature lovers keen to

capture the glimpse of the Giant Panda in its natural habitat - but for the native Chinese population, the city has become a haven for senior citizens who are investing in retirement property. As the influx of retirees increases, so does the housing demand.

One privately-owned demolition and aggregates company benefitting from this upturn in activity is Yi Mao Company Limited (YMCL), located in the northeast of Chengdu. YMCL demolishes old or unsuitable buildings that do not appeal to the newly arriving residents and then separates and extracts aggregate material from them to be reused. The sand and gravel is crushed and blended to produce concrete – and then used to construct new buildings. The company was founded in 2002 and has the capability to process more than 1.5 mil cu m of aggregate per year.

YMCL uses a fleet of four SDLG LG953 wheel loaders to help with its aggregate operations, working them 20 hours a day, seven days a week. In total the units shift

over 2 mil t of gravel, sand and aggregate per year.

“As privately-funded housing ramps up, we are working to ever tighter deadlines

for the efficient and punctual delivery of raw materials to building projects. That means we need the support of machines that are well-built, reliable and cost-effective

to maintain,” said Zhang Jun, YMCL’s managing director. “We purchased our first SDLG machine in 2003 when we had just started up the operation. The brand is very reputable in southwestern China and it was through the recommendation of my friends working in the same industry that I made the decision to buy one myself.”

On average, the SDLG LG953 loaders take three minutes to complete a full cycle, loading 3 cu m of aggregate from the demolition site to the gravel pit. The machines feature a Weichai WD10G220E21 engine with a 162 kW power rating. The average zero-failure timespan of 720 hours is said to be significantly higher than the industry average among competitors, giving users excellent reliability levels. With the flexibility to operate in multiple applications from hard rock to soft sand, the 5 t capacity LG953 also offers an ergonomic design including wrap-around glass window and air-conditioned cab, allowing it to maintain productivity in all weather and across a variety of job sites.

Jifeng Great Wall Lingong Construction Equipment Ltd (JGLCE) is SDLG’s authorised dealer in Chengdu and its parts warehouse is conveniently located near YMCL, offering fast and efficient maintenance and service. JGLCE saw a huge spike in demand for construction equipment after the 2008 earthquake that devastated the county of Wen Chuan, 90 km to the northwest of Chengdu. Following the disaster China’s central government announced a CNY1 trillion investment to rebuild the local area and this drove demand for several years. That growth has since slowed, although things are starting to pick up again, particularly with the recent housing boom, according to Wang Gang, managing director of JGLCE.

To keep JGLCE’s customers running their equipment fleets at

their most efficient, it has launched a programme allowing them to trade in their used SDLG machines to purchase new ones. “A sustainable business needs to be innovative and customer-oriented. We are committed to supplying our customers with the latest machinery and fast and efficient service to build and maintain a strong and lasting relationship,” said Mr Wang. n

The LG953 features an ergonomic design such as wrap-around glass window and air-conditioned cab, allowing it to maintain productivity in all weather and across a variety of job sites. It is powered by a 162 kW Weichai WD10G220E21 engine.

UNIVERSITY OF CENTRAL ASIA

In 2000, the presidents of Tajikistan, the Kyrgyz Republic and Kazakhstan, together with His Highness the Aga Khan, signed an International Treaty and Charter to establish the University

of Central Asia (UCA), offering an internationally recognised standard of higher education in the region. UCA’s mission is to foster the socio-economic development of Central Asia, particularly its mountain societies, while helping the peoples of the region preserve and draw upon their rich cultural heritages as assets for the future. The university brings with it the commitment and partnership of the Aga Khan Development Network.

UCA is currently constructing three residential campuses in Khorog, Tajikistan; Naryn, Kyrgyz Republic; and Tekeli, Kazakhstan. Each will include academic, athletic and residential facilities surrounded by landscaped parks and learning landscapes in which students and faculties will engage in applied studies and research. The university has adopted best practices in campus design, seismic design, construction methods and environmental sustainability on this massive project. The masterplan and concept design for the campuses were completed by architecture firm Arata Isozaki & Associates, and the detailed design and construction documentation

The Aga Khan Development Network and UCA have worked together to secure land, conduct extensive site investigations and masterplanning, select architects and engineers to design the facilities, site preparation works and the launch of Phase I of campus development in Naryn.

UCA already has teaching facilities in five locations - in Tajikistan (Khorog and Dushanbe), Kyrgyz Republic (Naryn and Bishkek) and

Kazakhstan (Tekeli) - housing the UCA School of Professional and Continuing Education and the Aga Khan Humanities Project (in Dushanbe). UCA’s central administration office and research initiatives, the Institute of Public Policy and Administration, the Mountain Societies Research Institute and the Cultural Heritage and Humanities Unit, are currently located in Bishkek.

Using stones sourced from the Naryn River, UCA also built over 2.4 km of green and gabion wall, securing campus boundaries and stabilising the Naryn River bank. High voltage power lines were diverted when a portion of the Naryn State Road was rerouted off the campus site.

Construction equipment was purchased, including a 50 t mobile crane, a 15t vibrating roller, a 15 cu m tipper truck, an excavator and a concrete mixer. A concrete batching plant was sourced from Turkey and stone crushing equipment was sourced from China.

Phase I of UCA’s Naryn campus development began in 2013. This includes excavations for the construction of 12,200 sq m of facilities, comprised of a three-storey academic building housing a library, classrooms, laboratories, a dining hall and faculty housing, as well as two dormitory buildings that can accommodate up to 150 students. The campus will also benefit from previously constructed international standard sports facilities, including two tennis courts and a football pitch.

to commence major construction works was completed. This included onsite concrete batching facilities and a stone crushing plant to produce concrete and sand and stone for concrete and backfilling. Concrete formwork for the substructure and the superstructure works was delivered to the site, along with plant and construction machinery. Onsite utilities, such as water, electrical, telecommunications/data and drainage and all onsite temporary roads were completed. High quality site welfare facilities, including sanitary and medical facilities and a commercial kitchen and dining hall that will accommodate up to 130 construction staff, were also completed. All 10 contracts to complete these facilities were awarded to contractors from Naryn and work was completed employing a Naryn workforce, said UCA.

Major construction works began in late June 2014. According to UCA, between 20 and 30 contracts will be tendered as construction progresses, with many being prioritised for regional contractors. Phase I is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2016, after which testing and commissioning of the new buildings will take place. The campus plans to welcome its first class of undergraduates in September 2016.

UCA’s commitment to the development of communities surrounding the campus site has led to construction works aimed at engaging those communities and improving their quality of life. These include providing a secure 24-hour water supply to Tosh-Bulak village near the campus site. A 2.4 km portion of the diverted Naryn State Road was completed with pedestrian footpath, street trees and lighting, and handed over to the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic. In 2013, students from Naryn attended presentations by AECOM on landscape architecture and engineering and UCA campus design. More presentations are planned in 2014 from other experts involved in UCA’s construction. The annual UCA football competition, which takes place on campus, is now in its third year.

Campus construction in Tajikistan and Kazakhstan UCA’s main campus in Tajikistan is located in Khorog, 2,100 m above sea level. To prepare the site for construction, up to 160,000 cu m of rock is being cleared and crushed. The stone removal and crushing process is controlled from an on-site operations centre and is time and labour-intensive. “The challenge is not only to clear the land of rocks, but also to reduce the size of the rocks into storable, usable material to yield two positive results: a cleared construction site and readily available raw material for construction,” explained Hofiz Mirzonabotov of UCA’s Construction and Facilities Division in Khorog.

“Transforming and using the rock we clear is a sustainable way to build in such a challenging environment,” added Grant Robertson, director of UCA’s Construction and Facilities Division.

The rock is cleared and transferred onto a vibrating screen at a rate of 120 cu m/hr. It is then moved through a series of screens and crushers, reduced in size and sorted. The crushed rock is cleaned to remove soil and other waste with water from the Khorog River, which is recycled and used in the campus nursery.

The rock is being stored, ready for use as base material for roads and buildings, manufacturing of concrete and general construction of the campus. Once this process is complete, UCA will proceed with detailed campus design and site preparation works.

UCA’s main campus in Kazakhstan is located in Tekeli, in the Almaty region. To prepare the site for construction, the university has undertaken extensive grading works. Retaining and decorative walling have also been constructed.

Design works are currently underway for the Tekeli campus access road, site drainage and further retaining wall design. Upon completion of these designs, construction works will be awarded to local and regional contractors, said UCA. The university then plans to proceed with detailed campus design and site preparation works. n

n BCA Awards 2014

CALLING FOR MORE TALENTA five-year rebranding roadmap has been rolled out to attract and retain more local talent in Singapore’s built environment sector. This comes amid a strong pipeline of construction projects, where a sustained pool of locals is needed to drive the urban development in the country. The roadmap was formulated by the Ministry of National Development (MND) and the Building and Construction Authority (BCA), in consultation with industry associations and institutes of higher learning (IHLs) in Singapore.

To transform the built environment sector, the roadmap looks at improving the work environment and enhancing human resource practices in firms. In addition, targetted outreach to females, teachers and students are aimed at generating greater awareness of built environment careers and attraction to the sector. These new initiatives are on top of BCA’s existing efforts to attract local talent, which include student competitions and career fairs, scholarship, sponsorship and apprenticeship programmes for students and job seekers.

At the BCA Awards ceremony, the BCA and the Construction Industry Joint Committee (CIJC) comprising key industry representatives had signed a Memorandum of Understanding to show the industry’s commitment towards transforming the built environment sector into a workplace of choice. Under a voluntary pledge signing initiative, built environment firms including developers, architecture and engineering consultancies and builders who sign the pledge, will commit to adopting good human resource practices. These include the adoption of proper performance management and training programmes as well as enhanced staff benefits, performance-based remuneration and a formal awards programme to recognise individual or group efforts at work.

The BCA will also develop a good practice guide to assist built environment firms in improving their human resource practices. The guide will feature best practices adopted by industry stakeholders as well as available assistance schemes for firms to tap on for the development of their human resource competencies. “There is a need to fundamentally change the way the built environment sector and its firms work in order to offer better work environment, good human resource practices and meaningful careers. This will help raise the profile of the sector to attract and retain more locals,” said Neo Choon Keong, group director of manpower and strategic policy, BCA.

Creating a conducive work environment, especially in the area of pro-family arrangements, also plays a key role in attracting and retaining females in the sector. “We want to attract more females to work in the built environment sector because they represent a

relatively untapped source of local manpower. It is important for the built environment sector to gain a fair share of talents amid today’s tight labour market,” added Mr Neo, Currently, females make up about 25 percent of the local workforce in the built environment sector.

The BCA will also implement a Teachers’ Attachment Programme (TAP) to help teachers keep abreast with the latest developments in the built environment sector, to provide better career guidance to students. Teachers will be exposed through attachments to built environment firms, site visits and networking opportunities with industry stakeholders. The TAP will also be customised to the teachers’ areas of discipline.

The pilot phase of the TAP will be conducted for Institutes of Technical Education (ITE) lecturers teaching built environment courses starting this year. It will be rolled out gradually, for teachers at polytechnics and Junior Colleges.

Lastly, to enhance students’ learning and help students gain a better understanding of built environment careers, structured internships will be introduced for polytechnic and university students in built environment courses. The BCA will be developing guidelines for firms to enhance the learning value of internships for students, in consultation with industry stakeholders and tertiary institutions. Such guidelines are aimed to help firms focus on delivering the desired learning outcomes, as well as establish a recommended internship allowance and incorporate value-adding training as part of the students’ internship. nThe BCA Awards ceremony 2014.
