The task: to build an asphalt mixing plant from the ground up

A bitumen mixing plant, also known as an asphalt mixing plant, produces asphalt—that is, a mixture of aggregate, bitumen, and, if necessary, additives. A & P handled the installation of such a plant based on the technically well-structured plant design provided by Ammann Asphalt GmbH.
The assembly follows a fixed sequence because the plant is built upward. First, the support structure is erected, under which trucks will later drive to pick up the finished asphalt. Only then are the production stations installed on top of it. Each step is a prerequisite for the next, and every major lift requires the crane.

Relocation of Production

Scope of Work for the Project

Support Structure

Install the supports that hold up the production stations and keep the passageway clear for the pickup vehicles.

Production Stations

Installation of the individual production stations, constructed as prefabricated modules, onto the support structure.

Attachments

Installation of all attachments on the containers as part of the assembly process.

Crane Operation

Erection of the supports and stations with crane assistance, continuing until sunset, weather permitting.

Material Supply

Establishment of the plant’s material supply system following completion of the mixing plant.

Insights from the Project

Result: The mixing plant is up and running; material supply will follow

The mixing plant was fully assembled, from the support structure to the production stations mounted on top and the attached components. This was followed by the installation of the material supply system.

What Sets Container-Style Plant Assembly Apart

Modular construction may sound like simple stacking, but it’s actually the opposite. Each module is prefabricated and fits only in one position, in a specific orientation, and in a specific order. If a module is placed too early or rotated incorrectly, it blocks access for the next one. At this height, that can’t be corrected on the fly.
Added to this is the dependence on weather conditions. Crane lifts at this height are dependent on wind and visibility, so the time window cannot be planned in advance but must be taken advantage of when it opens. That is precisely why, when the weather was suitable, work continued until sunset.
A & P’s range of services extends from industrial assembly to machine assembly, electrical engineering, and automation, as well as plant disassembly and reassembly. For construction projects requiring a large workforce, A & P also provides additional assembly personnel.
