Machines have been working noon and night on the US $7bn project.

Onwinning contracts for the central and western sections of Algeria’s1216 km East-West Expressway, the CITIC Group and China RailwayCorporation (CRCC) consortium (CITIC-CRCC) turned to a roller firm toprovide a fleet of 53 tandem rollers and track pavers.

CITIC-CRCC were awarded the contract for the central and westernsections of highway (169 km and 359 km respectively) at a cost ofUS$451 million. To meet its tight schedule, punishing workingconditions and remote locations, the contracting consortium ‘rolledout’ the new road rollers.

The fleet comprises entirely of Dynapac models 20 x F141C pavers, 1x F182CS paver, 18 x CC624HF’s and 14 x CC622HF tandem rollers. Thefleet is being used to pave and compact the base course, binder courseand wearing course; almost the complete process of work.   READ MORE...
