| Mobile concrete batching plant  60,000 m² floor for a new storage hotel on the outskirts of Paris. This was the task faced by fibo intercon's client, whose company is based in Luxemburg. The project, however, was associated with logistical difficulties. First and foremost the concrete had to be delivered continuously which according to calculations required 10 truck mixers each day to go back and forth between the concrete factory and the construction site. Another challenge was the traffic difficulties which frequently arise in and around the French capital. Thus, great risk was associated with having a concrete factory supply concrete for the project. Therefore fibo intercon's customer started looking for other solutions. The solution was found at fibo intercon, a company which manufactures concrete batching plants, concrete systems and equipment for the global concrete industry. The two companies had already for some time discussed the possibility of developing a concrete batching plant that could meet the customer's requirements and needs. But when the order for the 60,000 m² floor in Paris finally was within reach, the joint project was speeded up.In the process the two companies have worked closely together on the technical clarification. All details and options have been discussed thoroughly, and adjustments have been made. In May 2009 the finished batching plant was ready for production at the construction site near the storage hotel in Paris. The newly developed concrete batching is characterized by high mobility and flexibility. The individual units are mounted on swap loads with hydraulic legs, making it easy to move between projects. When the batching plant arrives at the construction site, it takes about one day to erect it. None of the units requires a cast foundation, but can be placed on a level surface. This allows the contractor to begin concrete production almost right away. write your comments about the article :: © 2010 Construction News :: home page |
