Roos Groep has collaborated with partners to create an emission-free slipform paver that integrates cutting-edge technologies. This machine enables fossil fuel-free operations while prioritising safety and ergonomics.
Roos Groep decided to boost the productivity of the electric slipform paver by integrating Leica Geosystems’ MC1 3D machine control solution. The system features which include dual GNSS for heading and a total station for precise height control, ensure millimetre accuracy and simplified installation. Utilising machine control on top of a zero-emission slipform paver reduces operational downtime and optimises energy efficiency, maximising its environmental and performance benefits.
In addition to Leica Geosystems providing a 3D machine control systems, key collaborators included Statec for design and drafting, Staad-Fusion for batteries, Hightide for hydraulic components, Hydrocan Engineering for automation and Degra for electro-hydraulic components. Structural elements were provided by TJP Bladel and Van de Brand Metaal, with Ingenieursbureau Van Asseldonk offering advisory services and CE certification.
