Highway & Motorway Construction
High-production road construction projects demand reliable, high-output compaction across multiple pavement layers. Bomag double drum rollers with amplitude adjustment handle granular sub-base through hot-mix asphalt wearing course. Automated grade & slope systems on pavers eliminate re-work passes.
- Compaction layer thickness: 80–200 mm per lift
- Required density: ≥ 98% Marshall density (ASTM D1559)
- Typical roller configuration: Double drum + Pneumatic tire roller
Airport & Runway Pavement
Airport pavement construction requires surface evenness under 3 mm / 3 m (FAA Advisory Circular AC 150/5370-10) and void content below 4% for FOD prevention. Pneumatic tire rollers and precision-leveled pavers are the standard Bomag configuration for runway, taxiway, and apron construction.
- Surface evenness: ≤ 3 mm / 3 m (IRI-compliant)
- Tyre pressure adjustment range: 0.3–0.9 MPa
- Equipment: Pneumatic tire roller + Tracked asphalt paver
Mining & Quarry Operations
Haul road compaction directly impacts truck tyre wear, fuel consumption, and maximum payload speed. A poorly compacted haul road can cost a mining operation $2–5 per tonne in avoidable truck operating costs. Bomag heavy single drum rollers (20–30 t) achieve the compaction energy needed for deep-lift aggregate layers.
- Lift thickness: Up to 500 mm (padfoot shell)
- Compaction target: 95% Modified Proctor (ASTM D1557)
- Operating weight range: 20–30 t class
Urban Road & Infrastructure
Urban road maintenance and utility trench reinstatement projects demand compact, maneuverable equipment with low noise and vibration output. Bomag's urban range includes tandem rollers under 4 t, reversible plate compactors, and cold planers for precision milling — all meeting EU Stage V or EPA Tier 4 Final emission standards for inner-city operation.
- Noise emission: ≤ 75 dB(A) at operator ear (low-noise mode)
- Working width: 0.3–1.5 m (compact and tandem rollers)
- Emission: EU Stage V / EPA Tier 4 Final compliant
