Construction of a bike park in the Swiss Alps – with zero exhaust emissions

Construction of a bike park in the Swiss Alps – with zero exhaust emissions

No cars, just pure nature. The Aletsch Arena is an area located in the Swiss Alps. Here Velosolutions, a company with many years of experience in trail design, is developing a three-kilometer-long bike park. Due to the special regulations regarding exhaust emissions, the requirements for construction machinery and equipment are equally strict. And this is where Wacker Neuson’s zero emission portfolio comes into play.

A completely emission-free construction site in Copenhagen

A completely emission-free construction site in Copenhagen

To lay new cables and, in doing so, interfere in the opening hours of shops in the pedestrian zone as little as possible – that was the city of Copenhagen’s task. For this reason, construction work was carried out predominantly at night or early in the morning. But how could this work without the noise level disturbing residents? The solution: only electrically operated and extremely quiet construction machines were used. A visit to a completely emission-free construction site.

If new paving stones for the courtyard entrance or a new terrace are planned, good preparation is important. This applies particularly to the subsurface, as every building is only as good as the foundation it stands on. To keep the ground from collapsing after a brief time, vibratory plates are applied for compaction. But how do I carry out proper compaction? This is where vibratory plates with compaction control really come into their own.

Exhaust emissions from construction machines – current legal situation

Exhaust emissions from construction machines – current legal situation

Players in the construction industry must increasingly deal with new rules and regulations and stricter specifications for exhaust fumes and noise emissions when it comes to tenders. In addition, subsidies and advantages applicable to public tenders for the application of emission-free construction machines should be driving forces for fewer CO2 emissions in city centers.

Awards for zero emission solutions

Awards for zero emission solutions

It is not only in the world of actors and musicians that receiving praise from your industry has significance. In the construction machinery industry, awards and recognition for special performance carry just as much importance – because an official award is an indication that the manufacturer is on the right track with his product development. Wacker Neuson recently received not one but two awards for its developments in the field of zero emissions.

Dual View Dumper excites in application

Dual View Dumper excites in application

Loading, looking around, reversing, maneuvering, turning, driving forward, unloading and repeating everything again – this is what a typical work sequence when transporting material with a dumper on the construction site looks like. But how can this process be shortened and made easier? Wacker Neuson offers an innovative solution: the Dual View dumper. They are used by customers in a wide range of applications, including dike construction works in Northern Germany.
