Making the roads safe in Sicily with the W 210 Fi Milling Machine

ongoing

The first F-Series large milling machine was recently delivered to Sicilian road construction contractor Sicilstrade. Its first project: rehabilitation work on sections of the SS126 and SS626 national highways in the heartland of the island. The landscape is picturesque and these roads are a joy to drive on. Rising and falling as they hug the sides of the hills, these winding roads with tight bends treat drivers to wonderful views of the surrounding countryside. But it’s often a challenging task when they need to be repaired or resurfaced. The site logistics and the choice of equipment have to be carefully planned to minimise road closures and keep them as short as possible. Sicilstrade therefore deliberately chose a W 210 Fi large milling machine for milling off the entire width of the road surface in only 2 to 3 passes for the rehabilitation work on the SS126 and SS626 national highways.
