MB crusher bucket in the spotlight for the soccer city stadium in Johannesburg
 
In 2010 the MB jaw crusher has been used on the construction site for the Soccer City Stadium in Johannesburg where the final of the World Championships South Africa 2010 was held. A BF120.4 was choosen by a local company to recycle on site the material during the construction of the largest stadium in South Africa with a capacity to hold almost 100,000 people.
The mobile crusher BF120.4 is working for the Soccer City Stadium construction.
  • MB units can be attached to any brand and model of heavy machine
The crushing operations can be carried out directly at the construction site, helping contractors become independent from third party suppliers which can carry delays/inflated costs beyond their control.
 
  • They provide on-site independence.

One may all of a sudden do crushing and screening operations in the remotest parts of the country without depending on expensive and time consuming transportation costs. This enhances consistency and efficiency.

MB Crusher, the profitable choice

Construction jobsite in South Africa.

Investment in infrastructure is nowadays a key aspect for African economic growth sustainability and a guideline behind many policy initiatives by the African governments.

At this stage, crushing and screening solutions are driven by the construction, mining and demolition industries. Crushing and screening is primarily considered in procurement decisions for requirements related to drainage or base materials for foundations and roads. In fact, crushing on site is a key aspect of many applications, such as road construction, quarry and mining operations and urban working sites. 

Infrastructure projects in Africa.

For this reason the need to make the most of all available material, has prompted many operators to use also the waste material which once was simply piled up in the site.

Many companies in Africa have already chosen the MB attachments as a must-have tool for their daily operations: the demolition and roadwork sector require optimisation in recycling efforts and production of materials to be used, with the use of MB machines one also has the opportunity to sell directly the rubble and gravel obtained.

"Closing the infrastructure gap is vital for Africa’s future, and governments are well aware of this reality. African governments seem to be responding to the call with infrastructure projects on the go being testimony to the urgent attention on transport development programmes. In its Africa Construction Trends (ACT) Report 2018, Deloitte quotes a Chinese proverb, “if you want to prosper, build roads”, and it certainly holds true for Africa as the transport sector continues to lead the way with almost 40% of the 482 projects tracked by the report being either roads, bridges or rail. Southern Africa has a total of 103 projects, with a total value of $125.4 billion, translating into 21.4% of all projects in Africa and 26.6% in terms of value." (cit.
