Wirtgen User Interview: Guangzhou Luyou Road and Bridge: 20 Years of Professional Dedication to Black Pavement, Setting an Industry Benchmark

With the steady progress of pavers and rollers, a smooth and beautiful black asphalt road surface was born. This is an ordinary scene in the construction of beautiful villages in Baiyun District, Guangzhou. However, the construction equipment and teams for building this road are not simple.

In response to the current national vigorous development of the beautiful countryside project, we have adopted a compaction combination of imported Hummer HD 90 VT 9-ton front steel rear rubber and HD 14 VT 5-ton front steel rear rubber rollers, which are still rarely seen on the market. This has perfectly addressed the diverse construction scenarios such as rural roads and old city renovations, not only enhancing the construction efficiency One machine with dual functions can also save the usage cost of a rubber-tired roller." Lin Zhijie, the general manager of Guangzhou Luyou Road and Bridge Engineering Co., LTD., the person in charge of the company, said that for different asphalt road projects, matching more professional and advanced equipment is a major advantage of Guangzhou Luyou. Moreover, Guangzhou Luyou has an experienced and well-coordinated construction team, which can well guarantee the construction quality of the project.

At present, Guangzhou Luyou Road and Bridge has over 100 sets of black pavement construction equipment such as asphalt mixing plants, milling machines, pavers, rollers and asphalt spayers. Most of these are products of the world-renowned brand Wirtgen Group. The general service life of the equipment is about 5 years, and the equipment will be gradually replaced and updated every year to ensure better performance. To maintain the company's competitive edge in the industry.

Professional equipment

The construction is more guaranteed

In Mr. Lin's view, the construction of asphalt pavement is a highly specialized task. It is different from the laying or milling of cement-stabilized soil pavement. This is because the construction of asphalt pavement has strict requirements for the temperature of asphalt laying. It needs to be laid and compacted in one go to ensure the smoothness, compaction degree and other indicators of the pavement. This requires that the construction equipment must be reliable in performance. Once the paver or roller malfunctions, the asphalt material cannot be spread or compacted in time, resulting in material waste, which is an unacceptable loss for users.

You should know that we often work in urban areas at night, and many times we have political tasks. The construction time is very limited. If the paver or roller breaks down, it will not only affect the quality of the construction but also may delay the construction progress. Failing to complete the construction task will cause economic and reputational losses to the client. Mr. Lin stated that possessing the full range of high-performance milling, paving and compaction road surface equipment from the Wirtgen Group is a key factor for Guangzhou Luyou Road and Bridge to quickly open up the market and win customer trust, and it is also a core competitive advantage of the company.

Mr. Lin stated that in Guangzhou or the Pearl River Delta region, both the property owners and the construction parties are more willing to use reliable imported equipment like Wirtgen for construction. For instance, in the construction of greenways, the use of SUPER 800 small pavers in combination with Hummer 3-5 ton small steel wheels can handle the ever-changing construction road conditions with height and width restrictions, improving construction efficiency and ensuring construction quality. From large-scale to high-speed road surface construction, the owner would hope to use the Vogler SUPER 2100-3 paver in combination with the Hummer HD 138 VO oscillating roller and the Wirtgen W 205 milling machine to ensure the construction progress and quality. Because in the owner's view, the additional cost caused by using better construction equipment to do the job well It is simply insignificant in the face of construction progress and quality.

"Guangzhou Road Friends have won market recognition not by low prices, but by quality and service." " Mr. Lin stated that for any project we undertake, whether it's an engineering project or equipment rental, we will treat it as our own project. Moreover, our company has a full range of Wirtgen Group asphalt pavement equipment, which enables us to adopt different equipment combinations for different projects. Therefore, the owner can fully rest assured about the construction quality and progress.

Stay focused

Continue to deeply cultivate black road surfaces

After graduating from university in 2004, Mr. Lin has been deeply engaged in the asphalt pavement construction industry. His major is relevant, and he is diligent, eager to learn, and hardworking. His efforts and dedication in this industry have been increasingly recognized by more and more customers, which gives him a great sense of achievement and makes him more and more passionate about this industry.

Mr. Lin has been deeply involved in the field of asphalt road construction for nearly 20 years

According to Mr. Lin, the business of Guangzhou Luyou mainly consists of three sections: asphalt pavement engineering, equipment leasing, and professional asphalt pavement construction subcontracting. With outstanding construction performance, it has received high recognition and praise from the owners in the construction of municipal roads, new rural construction, greenways within Guangdong Province, as well as in the supporting construction of expressways such as Chaohui Expressway, Kaiyang Expressway, and Chaoshan Outer Ring Expressway, and has accumulated a good reputation in the industry.

Our company's goal is not to become the enterprise with the most equipment and the largest scale in the industry, but to have the most complete and professional equipment series, which can meet various asphalt pavement construction scenarios of customers, provide them with the most optimized construction equipment combination, and offer one-stop services. Mr. Lin stated that for different scenarios of urban asphalt pavement construction, Guangzhou Luyou can provide customers with construction equipment tailored to various scenarios, as the company has a very complete range of equipment series and product models. Our road rollers cover various models ranging from 1.5 tons to 14 tons, including vibrating, oscillating and steel front and rubber rear rollers. Our paver products include fixed plate and telescopic plate models from 0.5 meters to 12.5 meters, as well as large, medium and small milling machines. No matter what model of equipment customers want, we can solve it all in one stop.

Although the industry situation this year is not very good, thanks to our complete and professional equipment and the formation of multiple mature asphalt pavement construction teams, the project construction supervisor, operators and auxiliary workers have been working together for a long time and have a good understanding of each other. We can undertake various types of construction projects, big and small, which makes us not feel cold in the cold winter of this industry. Mr. Lin stated that the current industry winter period will gradually eliminate those who previously wanted to enter this field to make quick money and were unprofessional, leading to an industry reshuffle. For enterprises that want to deeply cultivate this industry, this may not be a bad thing. In his view, asphalt pavement construction is an industry that requires full dedication to achieve success. No matter how the market changes, Guangzhou Road Friends will remain committed to this field and strive to become a benchmark in the industry.

The working style of people from Chaoshan is to be able to endure hardships, never give up, and once they set their minds on something, they will keep delving into it. We keep our word. Once we promise something to others, we will definitely fulfill it. Even if some projects result in losses, we will still persist in doing them well. Mr. Lin believes that by being down-to-earth, strengthening internal capabilities, providing excellent services, operating with integrity, and uniting as one, Lu You people will surely develop better and better in the future.

Walk with the strong

Trust Wittgen

Sometimes when I'm on a business trip or walking on a road that I participated in building, I would proudly tell my relatives and friends around me that I also participated in the construction of this expressway and this road. I can be said to have made a little contribution. Ha ha. Mr. Lin said that when he first entered this field, he felt it was hard work. But after doing it for a long time and thinking about all the quality projects he had done, a sense of pride would spontaneously arise in his heart.

Mr. Lin believes that the achievements of Guangzhou Luyou Road and Bridge today are inseparable from the strong support of Wirtgen Company.

Wirtgen has always been imitated but never surpassed. This legendary enterprise has always been leading the technological progress of the industry, meeting the construction needs of customers and creating value for them. Mr. Lin stated that the newly launched Vogel SUPER 1680 Li paver, W 155 CF milling machine and Hummer front steel rear rubber roller by Witergen not only perform well in the field of new road construction, but are also very suitable for application in road maintenance construction. Moreover, the new W 155 CF milling machine is particularly fuel-efficient. It can save nearly 30% of fuel consumption compared with conventional milling equipment. Wirtgen has a very accurate grasp of market positioning in product research and development and is particularly familiar with the needs of customers.

When it comes to the after-sales service of Wirtgen, Mr. Lin is full of praise. What impressed me the most was during the Qingming Festival holiday. Our operators were not familiar with the operating system of the new W 55HR small milling machine and couldn't operate it proficiently. After receiving the call for help, Manager Shen, the product manager of Wirtgen, immediately stopped his vacation and rushed to the scene to ensure our safety. This really touched me." Mr. Lin stated that Wirtgen has reached the ultimate level in after-sales service and truly offers worry-free service.

Looking ahead, Mr. Lin hopes that Wirtgen Group will do better and better in China. More of its brands, including asphalt mixing plants and other equipment, can enter the Chinese market, providing customers with more choices. The future market will definitely belong to enterprises that are larger in scale, more professional, constantly upgrading and equipped with more advanced facilities. In the future, the Guangzhou Road Friends Association will continue to join hands with Wirtgen to work together with one heart and one mind, walk hand in hand, and create new glories.
