Pavers and compactors: what to look for

CW spoke with some pavers and compactors users to identify the technological and other characteristics that attract them. Here are the highest professions.

Given rising input prices and pressure on margins, it's no surprise that productivity is a leading factor.

“Performing in a highly competitive environment, we strive for unparalleled productivity and complete efficiency in operations so that we can make better roads faster and keep operating costs low,” said Mahendra Agarwal, director of GRInfraProjects. "Volvo's range of compactors and pavers offer reliability, high uptime and productivity values."

GR InfraProjects' fleet of more than 200 construction equipment for the highway and trunk road projects it deploys in the North, East and Northeast includes Volvo CE soil and asphalt compactors and asphalt pavers (including excavators, wheel loaders and motor graders).

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