Ammann equipment has been used to help construction in Sudan

A Sudanese firm has managed to increase efficiency with the introduction of an Ammann asphalt plant to its operations. The firm, Elbushra for Roads and Bridges, has used its Ammann ABM EasyBatch Asphalt-Mixing Plant to supply materials for many road projects in the country.

The firm is owned by Abuzar Mergani Elbushra and was set up in 2005, after he worked his way up through the country’s construction industry, having started 20 years earlier with a job as an engineer at the Sudan National Highway. He eventually accepted another engineering job and then worked as a supervisor at a construction company.

The firm, Elbushra for Roads and Bridges, started as a subcontractor, managing asphalt work without even owning a machine. The company landed a large job in 2010, supervising the placement of 40,000tonnes of asphalt. The company has continued to grow and now has four asphalt-mixing plants – all manufactured by 6791 Ammann.

The plants provide mix for five full-time paving crews, too. One of the plants in particular – the highly mobile ABM EasyBatch – played a key role in expanding his business.

Using quality equipment, Elbushra was able to successfully complete projects and meet deadlines. The company’s use of Ammann ABM EasyBatch Plants has been a key factor in the firm’s growth according to Elbushra.

    Greek construction company Intrakat likes a challenge. It recently took on two closely scheduled airport projects – but it had only a single asphalt plant.

The upgraded runways at Mykonos and Kos are two of the 14 Greek airports being rehabilitated within seven months. Intrakat is handling mix production at
