Efficient materials production onsite

The use of excavator-mounted equipment has been helping process demolition waste at a site in China.

Equipment from MB Crusher has been used on a site in China to process demolition material

The site is located in China’s Jiangsu province and is in a very urban location, immediately above a subway station. Because the area is highly built-up, an increase in the number of trucks to and from the site would cause problems for vehicle traffic in the area, resulting in congestion. This would also have extended completion time for the project. To handle the work, the firm fitted a BF80.3 crusher bucket from MB Crusher on its excavator, this time on a Sany 215 model. This combination was used to crush the rubble, preventing the customer from waiting for materials and also eliminating the need for trucks entering and leaving the construction site.

    You learn from your failures, not your successes. That was the overall message for delegates during the day-two morning session on the impact of engineering structural failures. These lessons are also too often “painful”, said Anne-Marie Leclerq, deputy minister for infrastructure within the ministry of transport for the Canadian province of Quebec.

    Demolition is a highly specialised business, as the machinery required to carry out the work on high-rise demolition contracts can be very site specific. Today's high reach demolition rig is no longer simply a tracked excavator with a long boom, indeed some machines cannot be used as excavators at all. Likewise a machine that is dedicated to carrying a 2.5 or 3tonne shear or hammer will need to be built to take the stresses and strains of demolition life.
