Airport in India overcame a significant challenge in their construction projects by revolutionizing the recycling and repurposing of cement blocks excavated from runways. This groundbreaking approach not only reduced costs but also promoted sustainable practices, paving the way for a greener future in airport construction.

The traditional disposal of cement blocks presented a formidable obstacle for the airport authorities. Seeking a smarter solution, they turned to MB crusher attachments, which proved to be the game-changer they needed. Two attachments, the MB-S18 screening attachment paired with the Kobelco SK220 XD LC, and the BF90.3 crusher bucket utilized alongside the CAT 320D, spearheaded the transformation.

By leveraging MB crusher attachments, the airport eliminated the need for external crushing facilities, significantly reducing transportation costs. These attachments effortlessly converted excavated cement blocks into Granular Sub Base (GSB) material, extending their usefulness beyond airport projects.

The adoption of MB attachments ushered in a host of benefits, propelling the circular economy at the airport's job site. Foremost, it enabled the recycling and reuse of materials, allowing cement blocks to be repurposed into GSB material ideal for road construction, foundational work, and other related projects.

In addition to recycling, the on-site crushing method resulted in a substantial reduction in waste. Instead of incurring costs for disposal, the airport successfully repurposed excavated cement blocks, championing sustainable construction practices and minimizing their environmental impact.

The efficient management of dust and waste generated during the crushing process further enhanced the sustainability of these projects. The airport implemented meticulous screening procedures, ensuring by-products were used appropriately or managed effectively. This approach optimized available resources, further contributing to eco-conscious construction practices.

The utilization of MB-S18 Screening Bucket with the Kobelco SK220 XD LC and the Crusher Bucket BF90.3 with the CAT 320D 3 proved to be the winning combination for airports, achieving their goals of recycling and reusing cement blocks while efficiently managing the crushing process's by-products. This groundbreaking solution not only reduced costs and transportation lead times but also promoted sustainable construction practices, waste reduction, and efficient resource management.

The adoption of MB crusher attachments marks a turning point in airport construction, bringing environmental consciousness and innovation to the forefront. With these advancements, Indian airports are poised to lead the way in sustainable infrastructure development, setting a benchmark for the industry worldwide.
