Where is the Crusher Now? Do Not Disturb
The MB-C50 crusher bucket at work in the Bavarian residential area
[Construction Tecnology Today, January 2019]
At 45 Franziskaner Strasse in Munich, during the war, people fled to shelter in neighbouring buildings, escaping via underground tunnels, to avoid being stopped in the streets. Some of these tunnels were built as early as 1700.
Today the galleries and tunnels are still there, underneath modern buildings, houses, shops, that more often now, need to expand in order to accommodate new tenants or new businesses.
Already crowded city centres cannot spread outside, there are streets, parking bays, sidewalks and generally little space. So the courtyard is the only available choice.
This happened at number 45, where the German company Stöger Baggebetrieb, took on this civil renovations and began to build an extension by demolishing part of the inner courtyard moving on to build new foundations.

Do not disturb the tenants and respect the environment.
Who would want to have at building site beneath a window?
Nobody. Noise and dust bother, as well as being harmful to the environment. And vibrations could compromise the building structure.
But the MB-C50 crusher bucket is equipped with a dust nebulizer, reduced noise compared to traditional crushing means, few vibrations to the arm and zero to buildings. So less machines moving, means less pollution and even noise. Reusing the extracted material on site means less costs and less pollution. And this is how, at number 45, demolition waste becomes a productive resource for the site itself: to fill the new building foundations. When the opportunity to reuse does not arise at the same site, it becomes a commercial resource: it can be sold to other companies, or be used for other constructions site, for trenching, as road-base, or even as decorative element.
