Pavers and compactors: what to look for

CW spoke to a few users of pavers and compactors to identify technological and other attributes that attract them. Here are the top appeals.

On the back of rising input prices and pressure on margins, it comes as no surprise that productivity is a leading go-to.

“We perform in an intensely competitive environment and, therefore, we seek unmatched productivity and complete efficiency in operations so that we can make better roads faster while keeping operating costs low,” says Mahendra Agarwal, Director, GRInfraProjects. “Volvo’s series of compactors and pavers provide reliability, high uptime and productivity values.”

GR InfraProjects’ fleet of over 200 construction equipment for the expressway and National/State Highway projects it implements in the North, East and Northeast includes soil and asphalt compactors and pavers from Volvo CE (also excavators, wheel loaders and motor graders).

“ACE’s tandem rollers are very reliable and productive,” adds SS Giri, Project Incharge, Kamal Builders.

“Nowadays, we’re laying pavements from 40mm to 300mm thickness; the paver should be able to take on this varied thickness in real site conditions,” opines VK Singh, Cluster Head, P&M, Transport Business Unit, L&T ECC.
