Our scope of work:

Our first aggregate cooling system in Qatar (Prototype)

  • Development

Concrete quantity

  • Total 300,000 m³; with aggregate cooling system 140,000m³

With the help of our highly efficient aggregate cooling system we were able to deliver high quality concrete. Every delivery was within the limit of the required concrete temperature of maximum 28 °C, thus no rejected concrete was accounted for.

The successful delivery of this aggregate cooling system inspired us to further develop the system.
