Cost-effective solutions

摘要

With technically challenging projects and ever-present pressures and time and money, the onus is on the concrete construction sector to find elegant, cost-effective solutions, and this often means adopting new technology. That could involve the latest equipment, new construction techniques or cutting-edge design tools. For the mobile concrete pump sector, there have been a number of improvements, including more powerful engines and reductions in machine weight. Putzmeister has released its latest concrete pump series, which includes the P718 compact model, which it claimed was the company's most powerful machine of its kind. It has a Deutz 3-cylinder diesel engine, 2-cylinder piston pump and a variable delivery rate and engine output. There is also a hydraulic control system for the pump and the S-tube.
