Road Construction Machine

Author: Shamim Iqbal

The construction of road and highway is a 3-phase process that involves rough grading, also known as earthmoving, fine grading, also known as sub grade preparation and sub-surfacing that includes the use of gravel, concrete, asphalt or a combination of three. In fact, many machines that are used in earthmoving and mining are also used in road and highway construction. These machines include scrapers, dozers and loaders.

Types Of Road Construction Machines

A range of Road Construction Equipment is used for the construction of roads and highways. Some of the commonly used ones are:

  • Asphalt Mix Plant: Asphalt Mix Plant plays an important role in the development of infrastructure in a country. Asphalt Mixing Plant assembles different raw materials in the right proportion and under accurate temperature so that composite asphalt and other road stones are made in a specific shape and form.
  • Mobile Concrete Batching Plant: Mobile Concrete Batching Plant plays a very important role in building road and civil structure. It is used to prepare mixed concrete that offers excellent rigidity and durability to the structure and is vastly used in the construction of roads, highways, bridges etc. Some of the most important parts of a Mobile Concrete Batching Plant include conveyors, heaters, cement silos and cement batcher that help in the production of high quality concrete.
  • Reversible Drum Mixer Plant: The Reversible Drum Mixer Plant is used to prepare hot asphalt mix for the base and surface coarsening. In this machine, both the aggregate and the bitumen are heated along with filler materials. Reversible Drum Mix Plant, meant for heating and drying aggregate and bitumen, has the following components:
    • Feeder, Gathering Conveyor
    • Service Tank For Fuel
    • Lime Hopper with Pneumatic Conveying System
  • Wet Mix Plant: Wet Mix Plant is highly efficient, easy to transport and quick to install road construction machine widely used in the construction industry. It can manufacture high volumes of base & sub base. This machine has higher production rate at low cost.
  • Asphalt Paver Finisher: An Asphalt Paper Finisher is used to lay asphalt on the road, construction site. It provides minor compaction before the pavement is compacted by a road roller. In order to provide a smooth surface, the Asphalt Paver Finisher proceeds at a constant speed, and lays a consistent stockpile of material in front of the screed.
