How MB Crusher’s units help construction sites to finish the job and reach the deadline.

Imagine a construction site inside a large urban center, or a heavily populated metropolitan area. Now, picture how you would organise that job, especially when there are restrictions imposed on the location, such as being limited to when you can run your equipment, logistic difficulties due to traffic restrictions, and containing noise and dust emissions. Let’s not forget one of the more current problems. The problem lies with finding raw materials and obtaining them in a timely manner. In short, finishing the job by the prescribed deadline becomes difficult. And the problem, if it’s not well managed, has a strong impact on the construction site and can cause delays that penalise the company. You never have enough time! But now, let’s stop creating fictional scenarios and see what happened on three different construction sites in urban centres that had similar problems. Three different construction sites, on three different continents, with three different solutions.

Construction site number 1: How to speed up the entire process

In Epinay sur Seine, France, on a demolition site in the middle of houses and busy streets. It’s impossible to block or slow traffic for long periods of time in order to have your trucks come and go from the job site. But, you need material to use as foundation and fill, and you need it right away. In reality, there’s plenty of inert material right from demolishing part of a building; they obtain reinforced concrete, bricks, and plaster. By crushing them with a BF80.3 crusher bucket installed on a Yanmar SV100 excavator, the materials were immediately ready to reuse on site. Video https://vimeo.com/662235874

Construction site number 2: How to avoid waiting for trucks and causing traffic 

We travel to China, in the Jiangsu province, to a particular construction site, located above a subway station. Therefore, creating traffic or having too many trucks entering and leaving the construction site would have created an inconvenience and lengthened delivery times. They needed to quickly recover suitable material to fill the new structures. Like in the previous story, they also installed a BF80.3 crusher bucket on their excavator, this time on a Sany 215 and crushed the rubble: no more need to wait for materials and no need to have trucks enter and leave the construction site, all of which benefits the flow of traffic.

Construction site number 3: How to have materials immediately ready for use

 In upstate New York, a house collapsed due to heavy snowfall. The house’s roof could not with stand the weight of the snow, and when it collapsed, it destroyed the entire porch. What was left needed to be dismantled, and then they had to rebuild the house. With a John Deere 180G and an MB-G1200 grapple, the company in charge of the job sorted the lumber and stacked it in one truck while creating a separate pile for all of the concrete. They then used an MB-S14 screening bucket to screen the rock and soil so that they could use it to build the new foundation. All of the materials remained on the construction site.

But, in the meantime, it flees: ‘’time flees irretrievably’’ wrote the Roman poet Virgil, over 2,000 years ago. While you may believe that reading these stories has taken time away from your work on the construction site, we prefer to believe that you have invested your time in reading these few lines to give you ideas on how to save later.
