Electric excavation and compaction – with self-sufficient construction site power supply
They have proven many times that electric construction machines are convincing in practice. But what about the power supply on the construction site? On a construction site in Barcelona, zero emission solutions from Wacker Neuson were used, including a mobile charging station.
Emission-free demolition in medieval fortress
Breaking up concrete floors? No problem. And that in an underground vault? Challenging – but solvable. During the reconstruction of a part of the Rosenberg fortress in Kronach, Upper Franconia, only machines with compact dimensions that could be used in confined spaces and work without exhaust emissions were considered for this task. An ideal construction site for Wacker Neuson’s zero emission solutions.
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.
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
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.
The emission-free Construction Site
A construction site that generates little noise and where no exhaust fumes are produced – not only do most residents dream of these, but so do many end users who usually spend eight hours working on the construction site. But how far are we actually from the emission-free construction site?
Mini-excavator in demolition work
Around 50,000 vehicles a day – 1,128 metres long – the highest bridge in Germany: we are talking about the Kocher viaduct close to Heilbronn. As part of its rehabilitation, demolition work was done in the interior of the box girder completely emission-free.
