Teamwork: Wirtgen Group Machines prepared the ground for the new Benninghoven brand headquarters

The new Benninghoven plant in Wittlich is being built over a sizable area of 310,000 m2 for 130 million Euros. One thing is sure: It will stand on a firm foundation, because Wirtgen soil stabilizers and Hamm rollers created the load-bearing base for it.

First up on the site were the civil engineers. A key part of their task was to create level and load-bearing surfaces for the 60,000-m2 production and logistics hall, the 12,000-m2 central building with offices and the traffic routes. The terrain was completely remodeled and stabilized to that end. Read more >>
