After demolition works, the job site soil often includes concrete, metal and other contaminants.
A demolition contractor in Brisbane was facing a task to have rubble transported away and replaced with fresh soil. This would have resulted in transportation and disposal fees as well as time lost while waiting for replacement material.
The ALLU Transformer DS3-17 provided an effective solution to the construction site as ALLU D-Series screening buckets are the ideal solution for dealing with excavated soil and rubble.
Rather than disposing the waste soil to landfill that would have been a significant cost, ALLU DS3-17 bucket with TS16 blades, attached to a Komatsu PC300 excavator, was set to screen the contaminated soil and transform construction waste into re-useable soil.
The ALLU utilises a patented system of rotating shafts with blades that enables it to handle wet product and reduce particle size.
It also does not require shaking of the machine like a screening bucket making it safer for the carrier, operator and surrounding environment.
Depending on requirements the soil can be screened into 0 – 25mm, 0-50mm or 0-100mm fragment size as blades can easily be changed onsite to produce end-product of different fragment sizes.
After ALLU DS3-17 had screened and processed the soil on construction site the amount of unusable waste had reduced to a third of its original volume. And best of it all, ALLU had loaded the waste material directly to a disposal truck during screening and processing that made the job progress fast without extra steps.
As a result, the construction site was able to re-use the processed soil and with a reduced need to transport waste, the contractor saved in transportation costs, reduced the landfill payments and did good for the environment by recycling the leftover material. Also, the need for fresh replacement soil was significantly reduced.
