SP 1200 - The specialist for concrete slab paving

A machine of the medium-size class, the SP 1200 is an ideal candidate for paving all types of concrete slabs. Its working width can be increased by modular extensions. Different add-ons can likewise be integrated into the machine with little effort.

Applications in concrete slab paving

Slipforming urban roads

Urban concrete roads can be finished with the super smoother in a final work step of the paving operation, giving them superior riding properties.

Shown here:

  • SP 500 on 4 crawler tracks
  • Concrete distribution via spreading auger
  • Paving a 5.50 m wide road pavement


Machines suitable for this application:

  • SP 500 / SP 500 Vario
  • SP 850 / SP 850 Vario
  • SP 1200

Motorway construction

Wirtgen slipform pavers are extraordinarily efficient when used in motorway construction. Dowel bars and tie bars are inserted into the concrete automatically. The large pavers - SP 1500, SP 1500 L and SP 1600 - are capable of paving concrete slabs across the full carriageway width and in single-layer or dual-layer application.

Shown here:

  • Slipform paving train SP 1500 L
  • Paving a 11.25 m wide motorway carriageway
  • 20 cm bottom concrete layer, 8 cm top concrete layer


Machines suitable for this application:

  • SP 500 / SP 500 Vario (single-layer)
  • SP 850 / SP 850 Vario (single-layer)
  • SP 1200 (single-layer)
  • SP 1500 (single-layer)
  • SP 1500 L (single-layer or dual-layer)
  • SP 1600 (single-layer or dual-layer)

Airport construction

Wirtgen slipform pavers are ideal candidates for the construction of airport runways, taxiways and other traffic surfaces. Finishing beam and super smoother, burlap or texture curing machine can be used in any given combination, ensuring superior functional properties of the completed surface. Further options enable paving on previously laid steel reinforcements, and paving with special profiles.

Shown here:

  • SP 1600 set up for a paving width of 10 m
  • Wireless levelling control
  • Concrete distribution via spreading plough
  • Paving parking areas at Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport


Machines suitable for this application:

  • SP 500 / SP 500 Vario (single-layer)
  • SP 850 / SP 850 Vario (single-layer)
  • SP 1200 (single-layer)
  • SP 1500 (single-layer)
  • SP 1500 L (single-layer or dual-layer)
  • SP 1600 (single-layer or dual-layer)

Paving hydraulically bound base layers

Slipform pavers are ideally suited for economically efficient paving of hydraulically bound base layers. A special device allows them to cut pre-determined breaking points during the paving operation.

Shown here:

  • SP 850 on 4 crawler tracks
  • Concrete distribution via spreading plough
  • Dual-lane hydraulically bound base layer forming the subgrade of a track profile for high-speed trains


Machines suitable for this application:

  • SP 500
  • SP 850
  • SP 1200
