How do you look at the roads and highway market in India?

As far as economy is concerned, infrastructure is one area which will drive growth, create employment and the government is already focused on thisWe anticipate that more contracts will be awarded prior to the elections. There may be a temporary slowdown in business for one quarter during the election period, but we expect things to return to normal afterwards.

Explain the type of compaction method used by your equipment (e.g., vibratory, static, pneumatic, etc.)?

The Wirtgen Group Hamm compactors come with more than 125 years of experience in the development and manufacture of roller and compactors for soil and asphalt compaction. HAMM, the German manufacturer leading the field in compaction technology, is a member of the internationally successful WIRTGEN GROUP and a global leader in the market of road rollers with more than 180 years of compaction expertise. In India we offer the Hamm HC 119i soil compactor, HD 99i Asphalt compactors, which are produced at our Pune plant.

What are the different variable compaction settings or adjustable settings your compaction machines offer for different soil types or applications?

Hamm offers two amplitudes (High and Low) and two frequencies (High and Low). This range of amplitude and frequency ensures optimum compaction results in almost all the operating environment in India. HAMM new advancement in compaction equipment’s like HCQ Navigator, HAMMTRONIC, VO (Vibrations-Oscillation) machines offers technology advancement in terms of continuous compaction control, energy compensation for machine to work at set parameters and to avoid less & over compaction of surfaces. These unique features derived from cutting edge technology helps to execute the compaction job at much faster rate with high quality end results.

Hamm also offers variety of compaction monitoring digital tools starting from Basic compaction system to full blown system with longitude & latitude data. Using these digital tools, customer can monitor the compaction in real time and can take the corrective measures also in real time. This ensures a uniform & desired compaction result.

What kind of maintenance and support services do you provide for your equipment?

Dedicated product team with application expertise along with fully trained sales team works very closely with customers to select the right machine for right application. With this, our customers could be able to achieve optimum cost of operations with maximum possible deliverables.

Are there any upcoming developments or innovations in your compaction equipment that potential clients should be aware of?

With WITOS HCQ, HAMM has taken another leap forward, towards the digital construction site. Here, all process data that has been collected is transferred to the WITOS portal via the mobile network. Individual people who have been granted corresponding access rights, such as construction site managers, supervisory authorities or consultants, can then monitor the construction site in real time from any location using the WITOS portal, provided by the Wirtgen Group.
