● Aggregate unloading system, also from the trains, where due to lack of space the trains have to be unloaded very quickly. The 50m3


(90 tonnes)


underground receiving hopper can be filled by train or by trucks (as a backup scenario). A massive belt system through an inclined supply tunnel delivers the material on a reversible, movable distribution belt where the material flows into one of the 14 aggregate bins.


● The electric heating units to heat the 3360m³ of material inside the tunnel. 14 individual blowers provide heat to the exact performance needed, to save as much energy as possible while having all the material heated at the same time.


● 20 independent weighing hoppers under the aggregate silos, used to ensure a very fast dosing process. Weighing with a belt scale would have taken too much time and reduced the plant capacity significantly.

● During the whole project, logistics has been the focus of attention. The correct sequence of the 200 trucks that delivered the material to the site was very important as there was simply not enough storage space. Furthermore, deliveries from southern
