Extec has supplied crushing and screening equipment that is being used to recycle materials and help in the renovation of the Pulkovo Airport near St Petersburg in Russia. An array of Extec machines are being used by local firm Recycle of Materials (ROM), which is one of Russia's leading firms in the materials recycling sector. ROM has extensive experience in demolishing and recycling concrete buildings built in the 1950s and 60s that were constructed using poor-quality concrete and is now diversifying into the airport renovation sector.

The company's first major project was the demolition of runways at the Domodedovo International Airport in Moscow in 2000, when it processed more than 20,000m3 of concrete. This was followed by contracts at Moscow's Vnukovo Airport in 2003 and 2004 and has now shifted its attention to Pulkovo airport in St Petersburg.

The Extec C-10+ and C-12+ units the machine is using are efficient machines for processing reinforced concrete waste into ballast according to ROM. The overband magnets help remove reinforcing steel from the feed material and the machines are also versatile, allowing the production of materials from 0-100mm. When higher quality materials are required, the company uses Extec I-C13 mobile cone and X38 and X44 impact crushers. These are supported by Extec S-3, S-4, S-5, S-6 and S-7 track-mounted mobile screens, allowing the production of a range of quality materials.
