2645 BASF is boosting output at its Norwegian plant at Granerud in Nord-Odal.

The €e1 million investment at the BASF Construction Chemicals facility will help develop production capacity for its MEYCO chemicals and 2646 MEYCO equipment lines, which are sold into the tunnel construction sector.

The range includes sprayed concrete admixtures, injection products and spraying equipment, with the most recent model being the novel MEYCO Roadrunner, a truck-mounted mobile unit for spraying concrete. The machine can be powered from both on-site electric supply or from its own diesel engine during operation, allowing for versatility and mobility between various tunnel sites.
