They continue to give great service working day in day out and my crews really appreciate the performance and ease of operation - I really cannot fault them.” Whilst Connor Construction (South West) Ltd purchased the P8820C with the double tamping screed primarily to lay CBM, another reason for choosing the machine is the fact that it can be deployed onto normal asphalt laying duties when required. This has given the company added flexibility insomuch that the impact of the double tamping screed can be easily reduced to deliver the correct compaction for asphalt laying and the electric heating of the screed (which was supplied as standard) is simply switched on. Utilising straight line technology the P8820C’s EPM2 constantly monitors the speed and direction of the tracks ensuring a constant and accurate forward motion when laying material. Direction and speed are controlled by dials mounted on the unique EPM2 display located at the operator’s station. This latest paver joins five wheeled Volvo P6870 pavers in Connor Construction (South West) Ltd’s fleet. Located just outside Frome in Somerset, the company supplies plant and labour for a whole range of projects. This can include anything from residential driveways and forecourts to major highways and motorways plus numerous local authorities. As Ian Webb explains; “Besides the general resurfacing contracts, we relish the chance to tender for unique projects such as air fields, race tracks and cycle tracks and not just in the south of England. We have and will go anywhere in Great Britain either working on our own contracts or sub-contracting to the major aggregates companies.” All of Connor Construction’s labour force is fully trained, accredited and skilled in the entire range of surfacing duties. “With our labour hire service we source the right personnel for the job – from an eight man machine crew to a two man preparation crew and often at short notice,” continues Ian. “Each crew is fully supported by our management team so no matter how far away from base the job takes them we have back-up management staff to help co-ordinate all team requirements.”
