Kuwait - a small emirate nestled between Iraq and Saudi Arabia, a modern metropolis mingling skyscrapers, apartment buildings, and mosques. Its name “Kuwait” is derived from the Arabic diminutive of the Hindustani kūt (“fort”).

In time the small fort grew to become Kuwait city, the capital, known for its modern architecture, ranging from skyscrapers to the striking Kuwait Towers, water towers whose design recalls the tiled domes of a classic mosque. A city that, despite all, benefits from the partnership between its modernity and its solid cultural heritage, which dates back to antiquity.

The construction industry has played a vital contribution to the city flourishing, making recently an even further significant step forward. With many contractors having lastly decided to play a key role in contributing towards sustainable development.  They have begun taking advantage of some, of the many, unexplored opportunities linked with ready-mixed concrete (RMC). 

The idea came by combining soil scarcity in the territory, with the wiliness to tackle the worsening waste management issue. A decisive breakthrough was made, setting a benchmark for a waste-to-wealth modus operandi.

For decades leftover concrete has been dumped, and let harden in extra-urban areas, creating extended concrete hills. Dumping was the most widely practiced method of disposal of concrete products, but all have now been replaced by reclaiming.

Overall it is one of the simplest methods, just by using an MB crusher Bucket BF120.4 on a Cat 336 D material is crushed and sold as base material.

Dumping was the only measure taken previously, but it is no longer a valid option, as it occupies land which is in great demand for urban development. Recycling concrete waste to create wealth and clear the landscape is an exceeding solution.

 

Being able to carry out the task with the simplicity given by the MB crusher bucket is the triumph that was worth the wait.
