The worldacclaimed technical prowess of French public works contractors would not be possible without it. The capabilities of our partners and equipment manufacturing partners are a key factor that will guarantee us the very best performances in our activities. INTERMAT, which FNTP has been sponsoring since its inaugural edition, is one of the leading international showcases for them. In all areas, from continuous performance enhancement to energy saving or changing regulations, equipment is under constant challenge. Through its use in a wide range of settings, equipment increasingly adapts to attain the safest possible conditions for people, make responsible use of natural resources, materials and energy, and achieve better project acceptability. At all stages of the construction cycle, equipment and systems have entered into a new digital dimension which is today an everyday part of our businesses’ lives. Work site plant and equipment users and the FNTP maintain regular and permanent contact with manufacturers. Discussing key concerns together and validating new requirements both help to promote and support our manufacturers’ innovation policies. The list of our 2015 award winners, in line with those of previous editions, bears the hallmark of a wider diversity whilst remaining focussed on the permanent challenges of public works contractors, such as the safety of workers and environmental protection. However, we can also note the emergence of new avenues of innovation connected to digital such as the management and capitalisation of data and the management of work site processes. Come and discover these new innovations at INTERMAT 2015! Bruno CAVAGNÉ President, FNTP 3 1_DP_P1-14_GB_2015_01_08.indd 3 12/01/2015 12:39 TRENDS REPORT A L L T H E L AT E S T I N T E R N AT I O N A L I N N O VAT I O N AT I N T E R M AT 2 0 1 5 INTERMAT has always been the place for showcasing innovation in equipment, machinery and processes used for construction and materials production. Innovation, at a time of economic tension, is more essential than ever. INTERMAT has succeeded in its successive editions in shining a spotlight on this creativity by paying tribute to the most remarkable initiatives through its Innovation Awards. An international judging panel, chaired by FNTP president Bruno Cavagné and comprising 11 industry specialists representative of building industry equipment and process users, examined the applications submitted by INTERMAT 2015 exhibitors and elected the winners of the 2015 INTERMAT Innovation Awards. The 2015 INTERMAT Innovation Awards are outstanding for a number of reasons. ■ The 2015 INTERMAT Innovation Awards are the illustration of the variety of sectors for which equipment is the most essential means of production. In the area of buildings: structural works, finishing works and demolition. In public works: earthmoving, roads and civil engineering. And, serving both of these areas, quarries and prefabrication. ■ The 2015 INTERMAT Innovation Awards are a reflection of the international spectrum of the product offering in worksite equipment. Among the manufacturers who have received awards, 6 countries are represented. ■ The 2015 INTERMAT Innovation Awards are also in line with the leading priorities of businesses today: environmental protection, looking after the health of employees, staff safety on work sites. ■ The 2015 INTERMAT Innovation Awards support the expansion of the Intermat product offering with a special focus on the concrete sector, served by the brand new World of Concrete Europe, an integral part of INTERMAT 2015. 4 1_DP_P1-14_GB_2015_01_08.indd 4 12/01/2015 12:39 AN EXHAUSTIVE OFFERING The sheer diversity of the 2015 INTERMAT Innovation Award winners is proof of the variety and quality of the number of applications submitted: 78 in all, of which 29 were nominated for awards and 12 ultimately elected as winners. PRODUCTIVITY The aim of worksite equipment and machinery is to enable the construction of building and public works structures. The efficiency of their on-site performance is the primary feature that visitors to INTERMAT look for. The 2015 INTERMAT Innovation Awards give recognition to equipment and machinery that is capable of improving firms’ productivity. SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENT Staff safety is also a constant concern for firms. Protecting the environment is subject of growing importance for responsible organisations. It is increasingly integrated into the experience of construction industry players. Each and every 2015 INTERMAT Innovation Award distinguishes equipment and machinery designed with safety and the environment in mind. HEADLINE PRODUCTS For its compact excavators, which are extremely widespread machines in firms’ and rental companies’ fleets, Wacker Neuson offers a dual-power solution which can help to protect the environment. A separate mobile electro-hydraulic unit connects to the excavator’s hydraulic circuit. It can operate as a substitute to the diesel drive in zones where exhaust gas emissions are prohibited. This system makes the whole vehicle very flexible in its use. Slab formwork has brought about the emergence of a large number of systems. APHI has brought out a product made of three innovative aluminium elements: modular panels, extendable primary beams and angular secondary beams, all inter-combinable – which allows the formwork to adjust to all geometric shapes. The formwork panels are set up on a solid surface, removing the risk of falling from height. Finally the system’s flexibility adds, alongside productivity gains, a simplification to the management of equipment stocks, through the reduction in product listings. Mobile asphalt plants have earned their place in the road building industry. MARINI offers a plant with a flow range of 80 to 160 t/h, suited to small size projects but comprising innovations which can lead to reduced production costs. This continuous plant is fitted in particular with a drying and recycling counter flow tube which allows it to recycle mixes up to a rate of 50% RAP. 5 1_DP_P1-14_GB_2015_01_08.indd 5 12/01/2015 12:39 French regulations require that tower cranes are fitted with a crane operator lift when the operator has to work above a certain height: 60m currently, 30m in 2017. In other countries, some companies equip their cranes in this way without being obliged to. While many units attach to the outside of the crane mast, LIEBHERR provides an elegant response to the issue with a unit which works inside the tower section using a double rack rail and removes the need for assembly and dismantling on site. In addition, this lift works on a 48V lithium rechargeable battery which recovers the energy generated by the descent of the lift, representing approximately 40% of the equipment’s consumption. It can also be retrofitted to the brand’s existing cranes. Quick couplers have become widespread on earthmoving and handling equipment increasing their flexibility by facilitating the attachment of accessories such as buckets, forks, etc. However they can also cause accidents due to accessories falling off. MECALAC, one of the pioneers in the area, offers a quick coupler which eliminates this danger. The equipment is fitted with ears – allowing it to be handled from two directions – whose shape requires that the accessory be on the ground in order to be released. It is therefore no longer possible for tools to fall off, even if the hydraulic coupling is disconnected either voluntarily or accidentally. The telescopic boom is very popular in both construction and agriculture. But this mobile equipment, when bearing a load, can be liable to overturn. Manufacturers have already solved the problem of forward overturn. MERLO has designed a monitoring system for lateral overturn, which it has integrated into the monitoring of the overall stability of the machine. An electronic terminal reads the data transmitted by on-board sensors and displays information to the operator on the machine’s stability in all directions. It gives warning of dangerous situations, and if necessary, blocks any movement which might further increase the danger. Dismantling has taken over from demolition. Through the necessity of sorting rubble for recycling purposes, the accessories of hydraulic excavators often have to carry out meticulous movements, at height and at the end of a long reach. As a result, instability could occur and go as far as causing an accident. LIEBHERR has designed a system which informs the operator in real time the position of the demolition equipment to centimetre accuracy. This system uses the data transmitted by angle sensors and automatic recognition of the length of the excavator’s attachments, combined with the type of accessory and its weight entered into the machine’s electronics. The operator is thus able to work within a safety zone displayed on a screen. A single piece of software collating topographical survey data, boundary marking, verification, geo-localised utilities detection, the location of road or civil engineering projects, all on a single interface, is what ATLOG has succeeded in offering. This instrument used is a hardened tablet, connected by Bluetooth to GPS surveying equipment, total stations, etc. The surveyor thus benefits from real-time visibility, for example on an AutoCAD plan, of the density of points plotted, zones requiring densification and instantaneous cubic volume calculations. 6 1_DP_P1-14_GB_2015_01_08.indd 6 12/01/2015 12:39 Up to now it was not possible to carry out contact-free measurement of aggregate granulometry on a conveyor, for example when leaving a screening system. The product designed by AUTOM’ELEC uses optical triangulation by deploying a laser module, a video camera and a software solution. The outcome is a statistical modelling of material size, their distribution and their movement. It is a tool to assist the set-up and adjustment of materials processing plants and production certification. Pouring concrete on site is an operation which must be planned ahead, for economic reasons but also to optimise transport and storage zones on the work site. Aimed at building contractors, the software designed by TEKLA makes it possible to design, estimate, manage and plan all types of project. It uses an intuitive 3G BIM (Building information modelling) type model, but it can also import architecture models. It allows for the sorting and extraction of quantities required for the project. Carrying Windows certification, it is also multi-user. Waste water from concrete batching plants may contain chromium VI, a hazardous heavy metal. MS offers a simple system which introduces a dose of reagent that is not harmful to either health or the environment. It reduces chromium VI to chromium III through the addition of an ascorbic acid based solution and fine filtration to recover a suspension. This system comes in the form of a preassembled and pre-cabled skid, easy to transport from one site to the next. Floor slab shuttering is an important part of concrete application. BRIDGEND EXTRUSION offers a system using screed rails made from extruded uPVC, with pre-drilled holes for dowel bars, assembled using adaptable joint clips. As the rail structure is hollow, concrete can be poured both sides. The removable top strip achieves clean dry sealant lines. Lightweight and easy to set up, these rails are resistant enough to support the use of vibrating twin beams. They can be installed by untrained personnel. They are made from landfill-diverted PVC windows. 7 1_DP_P1-14_GB_2015_01_08.indd 7 12/01/2015 12:39 THE COMPETITION The construction industry’s undisputed hallmark, this 6th edition of the INTERMAT Innovation Awards, honours the performance of suppliers and manufacturers. OBJECTIVES As a showcase for international innovation, the 2015 INTERMAT Innovation Awards reward companies’ research and development initiatives and pay tribute to innovation in equipment and techniques for construction. The competition is open exclusively to INTERMAT exhibitors and entries compete in 5 different categories: ■ Raw Material Extraction ■ Construction Equipment ■ Equipment & Components ■ Engineering & Systems ■ Digital applications In addition to being innovative or displaying an unprecedented level of perfection, the winning innovations must also demonstrate an outstanding contribution to technical design and technology or in cost savings, operation, usage or environmental sustainability. They must also comply with French and European regulations and standards. Three awards can be made in each of these 5 categories: Gold, Silver and Bronze. Two special awards are also made from entries across all categories: the Environment Award and the World of Concrete Europe Award. NEW IN 2015 ■ ■ ■ A renewed European judging panel bringing together “users” and representatives of applied research and the academic world. Categories reflecting the life cycle of a construction project cycle. The creation of a new special “World of Concrete Europe” Award, as part of the launch of the exhibition World of Concrete Europe, giving recognition to a piece of equipment, a solution or an innovative application, from across all of the competition categories. PANEL AND SELECTION PROCESS A panel made up of European specialists from research and industry judges the exhibitors’ entries. At a preliminary meeting, a select committee shortlists the products which are allowed to compete, and distribute the entries among the panel members according to their area of expertise. At a second meeting, the entire panel reviews these entries. At their third and final meeting, the panel discusses and decides on the winners of the Gold, Silver and Bronze Awards, as well as the winners of the “Environment” and “World of Concrete Europe” Awards. The judging panel nevertheless reserves the right not to award a prize in a category if it considers that it contains no innovative products and, on the contrary, may decide to make a “judges’ special award”. RESULTS AND AWARDS CEREMONY The official announcement of the results and the award ceremony take place three months before the trade show, at the Pre-INTERMAT gala dinner on 22 January 2015 at the Maison de la Mutualité, Paris. 8 1_DP_P1-14_GB_2015_01_08.indd 8 12/01/2015 12:39 THE JUDGES CHAIRMAN OF THE JUDGING PANEL Bruno CAVAGNÉ, FNTP VICE-CHAIRMAN OF THE JUDGING PANEL Michel LALLEMENT, FNTP SELECT COMMITTEE Jean-Michel BORDES, Eiffage Construction Michel DUCASSE, Eurovia Pascal LEMOINE, FNTP Béric SCALABRE, Bouygues Construction Jean-Philippe THEURIOT, Loxam JUDGES Jean-Michel BORDES, Eiffage Construction Ricardo CORTÉS, SEOPAN Michel DUCASSE, Eurovia Robert HARPER, Ashtead Plant Hire Company Ltd Michel LALLEMENT, FNTP Pascal LEMOINE, FNTP Ralf LUDDEMANN, BMTI / Strabag Züblin Pierre PIROTTON, Galère SA Massimiliano RUGGERI, IMAMOTER Béric SCALABRE, Bouygues Construction Jean-Philippe THEURIOT, Loxam 9 1_DP_P1-14_GB_2015_01_08.indd 9 12/01/2015 12:39 MEET THE JUDGES AND EXPERTS Bruno CAVAGNE (France) President of the FNTP (French Civil Engineering Federation) Bruno CAVAGNE (France) President of the FNTP (French Civil Engineering Federation) The business career of Bruno Cavagné, chairman of the French national public works federation FNTP, can be summed up in two words, Delegation and Diversification, which appear regularly in the life history of this business leader born in Toulouse. Diversification in driving the development of the Giesper group, founded by his grandfather Georges Giesper in 1932. When his father and his brother both died tragically, he was propelled to the top of the public works firm, in the throes of the crisis that hit the industry in the early 1990s. At this point he was merely 27 years old, yet he was to spearhead the development of the group by conquering new markets located way beyond its home region of Midi-Pyrénées in the south west of France. The family-run building firm is today a diversified group which is active in civil engineering, utility network construction, structural building, painting, waste management, real estate and hotels. Delegation of responsibility. As a man keen on exchange and encounters, Bruno Cavagné has committed himself fully to the world of work and his business by respecting these principles: firstly at Toulouse in the FRTP (chairman from 2008 to June 2013) and the city’s chamber of commerce and industry (chairman of the public procurement committee from 1997 to 2009); board member at Canalisateurs de France (utility network builders) then at FNTP and Syndicat de France. As a member of the bureaux from 2007 onwards then vice chairman in 2012-2013, he was subsequently elected Chairman of FNTP in September 2013. He is also a board member at SMAVie and CNETP. With an attentive eye on the declining competitiveness of French Public Works contractors, Bruno Cavagné’s aim is to spur the public authorities into facing up to their responsibilities and convince them of the necessity of rekindling investment whilst encouraging them to explore new and ground-breaking solutions.

In Belgium, technical inspections take place at the initiative of the builder(s), and are the prerequisite for inherent defect insurance relating to the structure inspected. For more than 10 years, I was in charge of the inspection of a wide range of project designs in civil engineering and buildings, thus allowing me to develop my experience in foundation calculation, modelling and calculation of concrete, mixed material and wood structures and in full knowledge of the construction materials in their applications. Around three years ago I joined the firm Galère, the Wallonia construction market leader, as technical director. This position allows me to leverage my experience to provide support to the company in designing, planning and delivering its civil engineering and building projects, from proposal stage through to acceptance. With the current economic climate, we are facing complex projects to be completed in challenging timeframes and environments in particular. To remain competitive, we at Galère are always required to be inventive and occasionally audacious, and up-to-date on the market’s latest technical developments. In this respect, INTERMAT and in particular being a judge on a panel that rewards innovations, offers a good opportunity to learn about the current technical breakthroughs in the construction sector which Galère has to seize on. Massimiliano RUGGERI (Italy) IMAMOTER – Technical Director My course of study includes an MSC in Electronic Engineering, and a PhD in Management Engineering; I had an experience in Industry as electronic system designer for automotive systems and engine control systems, where I gained my experience on power management. My job in CNR, started in 2001, my research interests are related to electronic system control of heavy duty machines, both for transmissions and for components hydraulic systems and for electro-mechanical systems and electric motors. I also am involved in studies related to autonomous machines and in machine cluster control and, in general on distributed control systems. I also hold the Microprocessor Systems and Computer System Design courses at the Electronic Engineering faculty of Ferrara University in Italy. I’m glad to participate in Intermat as a judge for the Innovation Awards and I hope to contribute to choose the most promising technologies and solutions for a better world. 13 1_DP_P1-14_GB_2015_01_08.indd 13 12/01/2015 12:39 Béric SCALABRE (France) BOUYGUES CONSTRUCTION - Central Equipment Director Head of Bouygues Construction Equipment. “Innovation is part of the service and added value that our organisation contributes.

Playing an active role in this judging panel gives me the chance to get up-to-date with all the latest new features that manufacturers wish to highlight, and it is additionally an interesting moment of exchange with our professions.” 14 1_DP_P1-14_GB_2015_01_08.indd 14 12/01/2015 12:39 THE WINNERS E X P E R T I S E – I N N O VAT I O N – N E T W O R K I N G 2_DP_LAUREATS_GB_2015_01_08.indd 15 12/01/2015 12:40 THE WINNERS CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT GOLD AWARD WACKER NEUSON GROUP Mini excavator 803 dual power SILVER AWARD ALPHI BRONZE AWARD FAYAT TopDalle Eco MARINI-ERMONT - RF 160 Neo New generation continuous asphalt plant EQUIPMENT & COMPONENTS GOLD AWARD LIEBHERR FRANCE SAS Lift crane operator SILVER AWARD MECALAC Quick coupler M-Connect ENGINEERING & SYSTEMS GOLD AWARD MERLO SILVER AWARD LIEBHERR FRANCE SAS M TSS - Merlo Transversal Stability System LDC -Liebherr Demolition Control DIGITAL APPLICATIONS GOLD AWARD ATLOG LAND2MAP SILVER AWARD AUTOM’ ELEC TAMIsoft ENVIRONMENT AWARD MS Water treatment plant for the elimination of Chromium VI and Total Chromium WORLD OF CONCRETE EUROPE AWARD TEKLA TEKLA Structures Construction Modeling JUDGES’ SPECIAL BRIDGEND EXTRUSION LTD K-Form 16 2_DP_LAUREATS_GB_2015_01_08.indd 16 12/01/2015 12:40 THE WINNERS CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT WACKER NEUSON GROUP Mini excavator 803 dual power DESCRIPTION Stand n° Ext 5 E 004 The formula for emission-free excavating from Wacker Neuson = excavator 803 with dual power option + electro-hydraulic unit HPU8. In addition to the integrated diesel engine, the unit HPU8 can be connected to the excavator 803. Thus, the excavator can be operated electrically and completely emission-free, e.g. in indoor applications. In outdoor applications, the excavator can be used in the conventional diesel mode. This gives contractors full flexibility and broadens the range of applications. OPERATING PRINCIPLE The excavator can be operated in two modes: diesel or electric. What is special about the dual power solution is that for the operator the sequence of operations remains completely unchanged after the connection of the generator. As it is an external solution, the operating weight, stability and dimensions of the excavator itself do not change, the performance, the tail swing radius and 360-degree rotation remain unrestricted in electrical operation and allow flexibility for the operator. TECHNICAL DESIGN With the external electro-hydraulic power unit HPU8, the smallest Wacker Neuson excavator 803 dual power can be operated electrically with zero emissions in addition to its conventional diesel mode. It can be used for work indoors, in sensitive environments but also as a conventional mini excavator. The tail swing radius, the 360 degree rotation of the chassis as well as the operating weight, stability and the dimensions do not change with the option as the power unit comes separately. ECONOMY The mini-excavator 803 dual power is a machine that offers the features of a conventional diesel excavator, yet, at the same time, with the dual power option can be turned into a machine for emission-free applications. This saves costs, as contractors only need one machine for various types of working conditions; the option expands the application areas of the mini-excavator to indoors and outdoors and ensures a high machine utilization. OPERATION The excavator can be operated in two modes: diesel or electric. What is special about the dual power solution is that for the operator the sequence of operations remains completely unchanged after the connection of the generator. As it is an external solution, the operating weight, stability and dimensions of the excavator itself do not change, the performance, the tail swing radius and 360-degree rotation remain unrestricted in electrical operation and allow flexibility for the operator. USE The dual power excavator is very operator-friendly. The transport, the connection of the power unit to the excavator, the operation – everything has been well thought out. E.g., the lifting point bracket of the drive unit HPU8 is also used as a connection lance to stabilize the hose where it is connected to the excavator. The performance and operation remain unchanged in electrical operation. Most important, the user is protected from exhaust emissions when working in the electrical mode. ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY Press contact WACKER NEUSON Silke OBERHAUSER Preussenstrasse 41 80809 MÜNCHEN GERMANY Phone: +49 89 35402 383 [email protected] The electro-hydraulic generator HPU8 and the excavator 803 dual power produce zero exhaust emissions in the electric drive mode and thus protect the environment, the operator and the people on the construction site. Working with the electro-hydraulic drive, the excavator also produces significantly lower noise emissions and, as a result, can be used in sensitive surroundings such as hospitals, schools and indoors. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The hydraulic power unit HPU8 has been designed specifically for excavator operation and is characterized by its compact and sturdy design and a cooling capacity, which has been tailored for the compact excavator 803. The unit weighs 190 kilograms and has compact dimensions. It saves space and can be stored and transported easily. The unit was designed for work under full load at up to 45 degrees Celsius as well as at very low temperatures. In addition, the unit is very maintenance friendly. 17 2_DP_LAUREATS_GB_2015_01_08.indd 17 12/01/2015 12:40 THE WINNERS CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT ALPHI TopDalle Eco DESCRIPTION Stand n° 7 J 067 Based on more than 20 years of expertise, ALPHI has developed TopDalle Eco, a new formwork product line for reinforced concrete slabs. This product comprises three new elements: the Eco+ panel, the extendable primary beam and the angular secondary beam. TopDalle Eco is thus safer and easier to use, more environmentally friendly and longer lasting. OPERATING PRINCIPLE ■ ■ The main objectives were to improve safety and productivity, while preventing the dropping of objects, falls from height and tripping, and also making the work easier (manual handling of loads and difficult working positions) by hand-portable elements that offer a weight saving of 20% in relation to currently known solutions, and with more ergonomic operating positions. Customer support is simplified as aluminium alloy is easy to repair. TECHNICAL DESIGN ■ ■ ■ ■ Working on a solid surface for better productivity and to limit falls from height, tripping or slipping. The continuous adjustment of the extendable primary beam and the angular secondary beam allow working closer to the edges of the cell. The extendable primary beam reduces the number of products in the range and increases productivity. The shape of the Eco+ panel limits the laitance on the vertical wall. ECONOMY Product in aluminium alloy, which facilitates repair and gives an excellent cost/strength ratio. Compatibility with previous product lines. ■ Plastic end plugs that absorb impacts and improve productivity through simpler recognition of the various beam models. ■ TopDalle Eco is protected by a patented resin that limits the risk of theft. ■ The exclusive extrusion system gives a one-piece, wide section beam, offering strength and durability. ■ ■ OPERATION ■ ■ The main objectives were to improve safety and productivity, while preventing the dropping of objects, falls from height and tripping, and also making the work easier (manual handling of loads and difficult working positions) by hand-portable elements that offer a weight saving of 20% in relation to currently known solutions, and with more ergonomic operating positions.

This is the safest and most compact quick coupler available on the market. A detector indicates also when the locking is well done. OPERATING PRINCIPLE With M-Connect grasping the tool is easy, fast and safe: The driver sets up the bottom pin of the arm between the ears of the tool and lifts it. The tool is then retained thanks to the hooks, then the driver moves the cylinder bucket until the second pin is in contact with the tool. By controlling the retraction of M-connect cylinder , the second pin comes in front of the locking ears. By stopping the retraction the cylinder extends and then locks and keeps locked the tool. TECHNICAL DESIGN M-Connect doesn’t need additionnal pins on the machine. The only new part is a cylinder. There is no maintenance on M-Connect (no additionnal greasing points ...) It is a very simple and efficient system (pin/hook). ECONOMY The grasping ears of the tools needed for the existing quick couplers have approximatly the same weight than other adapters. The M-Connect itself is the lightest quick-coupler available on the market (70kg less than current one on a 10T excavator!).This reduction of weight at the end of the arm allows also to reduce the weight of the counterweight (210 kg less for a 10T excavator !). This dual gain on raw material also reduces component wear and reduces energy consumption. OPERATION With M-Connect grasping the tool is easy, fast and safe: The driver sets up the bottom pin of the arm between the ears of the tool and lifts it. The tool is then retained thanks to the hooks, then the driver moves the cylinder bucket until the second pin is in contact with the tool. By controlling the retraction of M-connect cylinder , the second pin comes in front of the locking ears. By stopping the retraction the cylinder extends and then locks and keeps locked the tool. USE M-Connect ensures a maximum safety in use even during the intermediate phase of locking and unlocking where accidents often happen. As long as the tool is lifted from the ground it can not fall (even in case of misoperation). A sensor indicates also in the cabin when the locking is well done. M-Connect allows also to take in both directions tools designed for this purpose (reversibility). ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY M-Connect is more compact and lighter, it requires less energy and raw material to produce . The complete weight of the machine equipped with M-Connect is lighter , the machine requires less energy to move and work on the job site= less consumption and less CO2 emissions. Because M-Connect increases the versatility of the machine, the number of machines on job site can be reduced = less CO2 emissions.

This system allows at any time to give to the operator the position of the demolition attachment and to guarantee the stability of the demolition excavator. OPERATING PRINCIPLE The extended reach allows the customer to reach additional working area which gives him productivity gain on his jobsite. TECHNICAL DESIGN The challenge was to find a solution to integrate this LDC system into the electronics of the excavator and to simplify the manipulations for the operator. This led us to propose an automatic recognition of the attachment lengths , to install angle sensors to know the position of the equipment and to integrate into the display of the excavator the tools types with their weight. To optimize the performances of the excavator an extended reach with limitation of rotation has been. developed. ECONOMY Due to the integration of the system LDC to the electronics of the excavator the customer needs no more specific components which allowed him to earn money at the purchase and the maintenance becomes easier. OPERATION The extended reach allows the customer to reach additional working area which gives him productivity gain on his jobsite. USE This new LDC eliminates a possible human error which could affect the stability of the machine. A tactile color display allows to visualize the animation of the position of the attachment in real time and to inform the driver of the authorized movements. A display of the position (flatness) of the machine is also given to the driver. ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY The increase of the working zone allowed by the extended reach allows to realize demolition works with machines of smaller size which reduced consumptions during work and during transport of the machine.

This simple new industry solution fitted into a skid is implemented with a reagent dosing without any environmental nor health risk. This innovation is based on a collective consciousness and awareness of this public health issue. OPERATING PRINCIPLE The reduction of chromium VI to chromium III is carried out at our competitors via the addition of sodium bisulphite or Iron 0. The advantages of the use of ascorbic acid are as follows: ■ A low cost of consumables (0.5 to 1 € / m3 of treated effluent). ■ A very short contact time (< 3 min) (more than 5 min for the Iron 0). ■ No water pollution (sodium bisulphite releases sulfate and sulfur dioxide in water). TECHNICAL DESIGN That new solution which is fitted into skid, is implemented with a reagent dosing without any environmental nor health risk. With a single treatment process, only this method is adapted to the context of concrete batching plants. This innovation is based on a collective awareness, an awareness of this public health issue (skin diseases, cancer, etc.) and a change in behavior of the cement industry. ECONOMY Treatment usually used to treat chromium VI in water is reverse osmosis, ion exchange resins and ultrafiltration. However, these methods are not feasible for the treatment of concrete laitance because these waters have a very large amount of dissolved carbonates (> 200 g / l). This concentration will seal resins, membranes (reverse osmosis) and filters (ultrafiltration). OPERATION The reduction of chromium VI to chromium III is carried out at our competitors via the addition of sodium bisulphite or Iron 0. The advantages of the use of ascorbic acid are as follows: ■ A low cost of consumables (0.5 to 1 € / m3 of treated effluent). ■ A very short contact time (< 3 min) (more than 5 min for the Iron 0). ■ No water pollution (sodium bisulphite releases sulfate and sulfur dioxide in water). USE The whole plant is fitted into a 20’ or 40’ container, which is pre-assembled and pre-wired in our workshop, ensuring a fast and easy installation and commissioning on site. ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY The use of ascorbic acid to reduce chromium VI in water is absolutely neutral regarding the environment. This is an organic acid having reducing and antioxidant properties. It allows reducing chromium VI (toxic) to chromium III (non-toxic) without making any additional pollution. Although the oxidation of chromium III in chromium VI is impossible in the natural environment, our method enables to trap chromium III by adsorption.

The most common and effective cleaners are the rotating auger cleaners but they have the problem that they limit the depth achievable by the rig. The product object of this invention is a rotating auger cleaner able to open itself allowing the rig to reach the maximum depth.
