  • Patent number: 10000893
    Abstract: A machine lays a bituminous carpet for closing microtrenches. The machine includes a truck having a drive system, which defines a footprint area on a surface whereon the truck can move, and a preparing device for preparing bitumen for laying. The preparing device includes a bitumen container having an inlet into which bitumen in introduced, an outlet through which the bitumen prepared for laying exits, a heating system for raising the temperature of the bitumen introduced into the preparing device. A laying device receives the bitumen prepared for laying and lays the bitumen in carpet form. The laying device includes a forming element for shaping and laying bitumen as a carpet over a laying area; a drain channel, between the outlet of the preparing device and the forming element, conducting bitumen towards the forming element. The preparing device includes a mixing device mixing the bitumen while preparing it for laying.

  • Patent number: 9575200
    Abstract: An apparatus for non-invasive subsoil inspection used for verifying the presence of any underground facilities includes a mobile support structure (2) which can be moved in at least one horizontal direction and which supports antennas (A) adapted to transmit an electromagnetic signal towards the soil and to receive the response echoes. An electronic processing unit is adapted to analyze the data acquired by the antennas and to reconstruct an image of the subsoil portion scanned by the machine.
