EVENTSBAUMA 2013 FEATURESN E W D E V E L O P M E N T S I N CONSTRUCTION MACHINERY DELIVER EVER GREATER FUEL EFFICIENCYEnergy-efficiency and fuel-saving are two of the main trends that will be in the spotlight at bauma 2013, International Trade Fair for Construction Machinery, Building Material Machines, Mining Machines, Construction Vehicles and Construction Equipment. New solutions to these challenges will be presented in almost all the segments at this event. Outlined below are just some of the fuel-saving innovations for construction machinery to be showcased at bauma.

The British construction machinery manufacturer JCB is presenting its Ecomax engines for the first time at bauma 2013. These engines meet the rigorous emissions standards Stage IIB and Tier 4 Interim, without the need for diesel particle filters or emissions after-treatment. Instead JCB is using a new engine technology (patent-pending) which enables particularly clean and efficient combustion.

Caterpillar will be unveiling its new Cat hybrid excavator 336E H to the trade audience for the first time in Munich. Instead of losing the kinetic energy when braking the upper structure, it is captured in accumulators and re-used during swing acceleration. According to this American manufacturer, it has mastered the technically very difficult challenge of re-using hydraulic energy.

The German manufacturer Liebherr will be presenting a hybrid solution for heavy duty applications at bauma – the HS 8300 HD Duty Cycle Crawler Crane. Weighing in at over 350 tonnes, this world´s first is f itted with a powerful and also environmentally friendly hybrid drive on a hydraulic basis

Doosan Construction Equipment has brought out two new heavy-duty excavators in the 50-tonne class, both of which meet the Stage IIIB emissions standard: the DX490LC-3 model, with an operating weight of 49 tonnes, and the DX530LC-3, with 52 tonnes. According to this Korean manufacturer, the ratio of productivity (excavated m3/h) to fuel consumption (l/h) in standard operating

mode was increased by nine percent in both these models as compared to the previous models.

Hamm AG of Germany, part of the Wirtgen Group, is expanding its range of articulated tandem rollers. The new models – HD+ 70i and HD+ 80i – are fitted with engine technology that already meets the EU IV / Tier 4f standards, which will come into force in 2014. Two separately controlled ventilators cool the charge air, hydraulic oil and engine cooling fluid.

Improvements in cost-efficiency, noise control, environmental design and ergonomics – the construction industry is facing demands on many fronts. The i n t e r n a t i o n a l m a n u f a c t u r e r s o f construction machinery are responding to these challenges and they will be presenting their innovations in all these fields at bauma 2013. Here are some examples of the new developments visitors can expect to see at the show:

One of the biggest drivers of innovation a m o n g c o n s t r u c t i o n m a c h i n e r y manufacturers is the wish for greater user comfort and improved ergonomics. The response of Atlas Copco, for example, has been to bring out what the company is describing as the lightest vibration-reduced pick hammer on the market, weighing in at just 9.5 kg. The hammer mechanism in this tool floats in the housing, thereby significantly reducing the vibrations transmitted to the operator´s hands and arms. The model also has an efficient noise-reduction system.

Mobile Excavator Kaiser AGs new Walking Mobile Excavator also focuses on the human interface. This type of machine is designed for use in inaccessible terrain, a situation in which the driver often spends more time in the cab than at other construction sites. So, Kaiser has tuned the design of the cabs to better suit the needs of the driver. As well as an ergonomic arrangement of the extensive functions, there are also new joysticks for simple operation of the many hydraulic adjustment facilities and the various attachments. The new Walking Mobile Excavator is one of the nominees in this year´s bauma Innovations Awards, in the design category.

In today´s construction industry, it is not just about making the working conditions as pleasant as possible for the machine operators and drivers, it is also about protecting the environment around the building site from pressure of all kinds.

Hamm saves fuel with load-dependent control

BAUMA 2013 AS A PLATFORM FOR INNOVATIONS

Vibration-reduced pick hammer

Ergonomically designed Walking

Noise-reduced piling technology

Avoiding unnecessary noise is an important factor here. For example in pile-driving operations. Manufacturer ABI is presenting a new adjustable vibrator for its telescopic leaders. This vibrator is fitted with a combi clamp assembly for double-Z and U-profiles and tubular piles. Because of the precise clamping with two individual clamps, the piles are protected and the noise from the "flapping" of the profiles is reduced.

Vegetation, soil and ground water all benefit from a new semi-trenchless method for installing pipelines from Herrenknecht AG. A tunnel boring machine loosens the soil which is then directly conveyed above ground using a milling unit. At the same time, the pipeline is installed underground. Earthwork is re d u c e d t o a m i n i m u m a n d n o groundwater lowering along the route is necessary. In comparison to conventional, open-trench methods, the trench is considerably narrower. When crossing agricultural land this means harvest losses and compensation payments are reduced. This pipe-installation drive system has been nominated for the bauma Innovations Award 2013 in the machine category.

As well as technological innovations on the construction machines themselves, i.e. the hardware, as i t were, many manufacturers have also much to offer in terms of the extras. A key word here is fleet management. For example, the wheel loader manufacturer Kramer Allrad and the sales and service company Zeppelin are offering satellite-supported location systems that deliver real-time data on the

construction machines. As well as location, the data can also include operating times, engine condition and service dates, all of which can be called up online. The data are then available to the customer on his computer or smart phone.

Telematics solutions to improve cost-efficiency

March 2013

The aim with telematics solutions is to maximize machine capacity, to optimize fleet management, particularly on large-scale building sites, to provide verifiable figures for calculations of efficiency and cost, and to protect against theft.

OPIC Funds Wind Power in Pakistan and Peru

The Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) has approved $288 million in funding for two enormous wind farm projects in Pakistan and Peru, projects the corporation’s Board says will deliver vital renewable energy security to both nations.

$193 million will go towards building a 114 MW wind farm on Peru’s Northwest Pacific coast – the first to be hooked into the nation’s electricity grid. New York-based power generation group ContourGlobal will arrange financing for the Talara and Cupisnique wind parks. Vestas Corporation is the general contractor for the project and is supplying 62 of their 1.8 MW V-100 wind turbines.

“The provision of clean and reliable electricity is an essential building block of any economy,” said OPIC President and CEO Elizabeth L. Littlefield. “The Board today affirmed OPIC’s commitment to support efforts by Pakistan and Peru to diversify their energy production to include important contributions from renewable energy sources.”

A $95 million funding in OPIC will help build Pakistan’s Sapphire Wind Power plant, a 50-megawatt wind farm in the Ghoro-Keti Bandar Wind Corridor. Utilising General Electric wind turbines, the plant is designed to generate 133 gigawatt hours of emission-free power each year, and will support a US-Pakistan renewable energy pact to diversify Pakistani energy resources.

“The wind power projects will enable both countries to take advantage of their massive renewable energy potential to help meet unmet demand for electricity,” Ms. Littlefield continued. “We are thrilled to partner with innovative U.S. companies to bring these highly-developmental projects to realization.”

Citing figures from a study U.S. National Renewable Energy Agency (NREL) and the U.S. Agency for International Development, OPIC estimates Pakistan’s total available wind energy resources are “virtually equal to the world’s entire installed wind capacity for 2010.”
