Slipform Paver SP 1500 / SP 1500 L

Where concrete paving is concerned:This paving train is a high-speed train

2 //3

Wirtgen uses an efficient, tried-and-

tested process for the production

of dual-layer concrete pavements:

the paving train consists of three

separate units comprising the bot-

tom-layer paver, top-layer paver and

TCM texture curing machine. In the

paving process, the SP 1500 /

SP 1500 L slipform paver can be used

as bottom-layer paver or top-layer

paver in accordance with customer

specifications.

The intelligent concrete paving pro-

cess and resulting high daily perfor-

mance rates combined with low la-

bour requirements, ease of transport

and a variety of adjustment options

enable the paving train to produce up

to 15.25 m wide high-quality, dual-

layer concrete pavements economi-

cally and in record time.

The flexible SP 1500 is equipped

with four track units while the easy-

to-transport, lightweight SP 1500 L

is equipped with two track units.

Separate paving units enable ease

of transport and require little effort

for setup and disassembly. In addi-

tion, the high degree of automation

of the SP 1500 / SP 1500 L results in

extremely low labour costs.

Paving two layers of concrete simul-

taneously is an approved method for

the economically efficient production

of concrete pavements.

High-quality dual-layer concrete pavements

Use as required: Concrete paving with the SP 1500 or SP 1500 L

Choice of different combinations:

Bottom-layer concrete paver SP 1500

Top-layer concrete paver SP 1500


4 //5

Depending on requirements, cus-

tomers can use the SP 1500 with

four or the SP 1500 L with two

track units as the bottom-layer or

top-layer concrete paver. The two-

tracked SP 1500 L slipform paver

model offers the advantages of

lower machine weight and shorter

transport length.

The four-tracked SP 1500, on the

other hand, offers a significantly

larger contact surface, thus ef-

fectively preventing the machine

from sinking in on soft ground. In

addition, each of the SP 1500’s

four track units can be adjusted,

steered and pivoted about 90 de-

grees separately and hydraulically

for improved manoeuvrability.

Hydraulically adjustable pivoting

legs enable track adjustment

which allows the SP 1500 to be

easily adapted to any fixed obsta-

cles on the paving site.

Being equipped with four track

units, the SP 1500 can easily

turn on its axis which is helpful,

for example, for repositioning or

manoeuvring the machine.

Sensor for controlling height and working direction; the track unit travels

close to the concrete pavement.

The spreading plough distributes the previously deposited concrete for the bottom layer across the entire width.

Deposit the concrete for the bot-

tom layer in front of the SP 1500 /

SP 1500 L, and the machine will

take care of the rest virtually auto-

matically: a truck dumps the con-

crete in front of the bottom-layer

paver, which spreads it evenly

across the entire width using a

spreading plough.

A heavy-duty mould paves the

concrete in the correct vertical and

horizontal position while the paver

keeps moving forward. Electri-

cal vibrators then compact the

concrete material using high-fre-

quency vibrations while dowel

bars and tie bars are inserted into

the bottom concrete layer with

pinpoint accuracy. A cost-efficient,

homogeneous layer is thus pro-

duced which is an ideal base for

the top-layer concrete.

Two or four track units provide

excellent stability and good traction

regardless of ground conditions.

Positioning the track units close to

the concrete slab results in lower

costs when producing the hydrauli-

cally bound base layer.

A reliable paving method for superior results

No need to interrupt production: Automatic insertion of dowel bars

Another winning feature of

the SP 1500 / SP 1500 L is the

patented, automated insertion

of dowel bars and tie bars into

the pre-compacted bottom-layer

concrete.

The dowel bars are inserted

parallel, the tie bars perpendicu-

lar to the pavement by means of

vibration. Highlight of the process:

the dowel bar inserter mounted

on the machine can move in the

direction of paving, meaning that

it remains above the paving site

without interrupting machine travel

until the dowel bars are accurately

inserted into the concrete.

Dowel bars and tie bars are insert-

ed in a fully automated process.

Labour requirements for dowel bar

distribution are therefore reduced

to process monitoring.

Dowel bar and tie bar lengths

and intervals can be adapted in

accordance with requirements on

the job site.

Total automation helps you exploit all cost- cutting potential

The dowel bar inserter remains above the paving site as the machine travels.

The top-layer concrete is conveyed over the top of the bottom-layer paver.

The tie bars are inserted into the bottom-layer concrete precisely in a vibrating movement.

Automatic insertion of the tie bars.

The next step: Wet-in-wet paving of the top layer

10 //11

Second-to-none, functional solu-

tions geared to field requirements

are also used to pave the top-layer

concrete. Ingeniously simple: a

conveyor transports the top-layer

concrete over and across the bot-

tom-layer paver to dump it on the

freshly paved bottom concrete layer

ahead of the top-layer paver.

The top-layer paver drives over

the concrete at a constant speed,

spreading it over the entire width by

means of a concrete plough. The

top layer is compacted and paved

wet-in-wet while the paver keeps

moving forward.

Vibrators specially designed for the

top-layer concrete provide ideal

compaction. The oscillating beam

and super smoother then ensure a

perfect surface finish.

The high degree of automation

enables the operating crew to

fully concentrate on monitoring

the paving process.

The second concrete layer is paved right after the firstUniform distribution of the top-layer concrete over the entire paving width.

Precise scanning via stringline or slab tracer ensures production

of a perfectly level surface.

Perfection with the finishing touch: Automatic smoothing

An ideal surface finish is one

factor determining the quality and

service life of a pavement. The

SP 1500 / SP 1500 L is a cut above

in this category as well because

it delivers outstanding results.

The top-layer concrete is paved

wet-in-wet and bonds perfectly

with the bottom layer. As the

machine continues to travel, the

oscillating beam and downstream

super smoother move over the

pavement, with the oscillating

beam oscillating perpendicular

and the super smoother oscillating

parallel to the direction of travel.

This combination reliably produces

the desired surface texture.

Dual, hydraulically adjustable

sideplates guarantee only minor

concrete losses. In addition, the

trailing and deep paving moulds

designed with a view to the paving

thickness produce perfect con-

crete edges.

Perfect finish for a superior surface

Cost-intensive material need only be used for the thin top layer.

The heavy-duty oscillating beam produces an even surface.

12 //13

Hydraulically adjustable sideplates ensure clean edges.

After super-smoothing, the concrete pavement meets

all quality requirements.

From a single supplier: Texture curing for optimum results

14 //15

The paving train is equipped with a

multitude of practical, time-saving

features. These include the tried-

and-tested texture curing machine

which follows right behind the two

slipform pavers. To achieve opti-

mum skid resistance of the surface,

it applies a burlap or cross broom to

the freshly paved concrete.

In a final step, a special liquid is

sprayed across the entire width of

the concrete pavement for effective

protection against premature evap-

oration and cracking.

In addition, exposed aggregate con-

crete surfaces can be produced or

longitudinal brooms applied without

difficulty.

The operator’s platform of the tex-

ture curing machine offers excellent

visibility. All controls are arranged

in line with ergonomic principles.

Extended uptimes are guaranteed

by a large storage container for the

curing compound. The machine’s

range of applications is extended

further by ancillary equipment, such

as a separate generator or crane.
