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.

    Chinese firms are now gearing up to tackle the quarrying market - Mike Woof writes. One of the key developments of note for the bauma China exhibition in late 2014 was the number of Chinese manufacturers now looking to compete in the quarrying sector. Also of note was how Western manufacturers are also taking the emergent markets seriously, developing machines to counter this increased competition from China. In many cases Western manufacturers have partnered with Chinese firms, bought out Chinese companies
