The BF120.4 crusher bucket and MB-S23 screening bucket at BEI's construction site in Luxembourg
On the construction site of BEI's new building in Luxembourg, next to the bank's current headquarters in the Kirchberg district, our customer DTS SA used a crusher bucket and an MB screening bucket to process 5,232 cy of material - between crushing and screening.
This choice highlights their attention to the environment and the impact of these large construction sites.
Environmental sustainability is a strategic challenge for companies today. The reduction of a job sites’ carbon footprint is achieved through:
- the reduction of CO2 emissions;
- the conservation of resources;
- By improving construction waste management.

The environmental challenge
It is estimated that by 2050 68% of the population will live in urban centers, which will require new office and housing infrastructures.
With its large-scale projects, the construction industry is responsible for 40% of current global CO2 emissions, which actively contribute to climate change.
The efficiency of these construction sites has never been more important, as they will have to meet various emission standards to develop green buildings and promote eco-friendly urban developments.
What tools to use for a greener construction site?
Working differently by recycling materials on the construction site
The choice of our client DTS SA for this major construction site with BEI is on the right track, after the realization that we need to work differently.
"There is no point in loading trucks to transport rubble 60 miles away and bring back crushed material, when we can process the material directly on site," says Jonathan MARIE DIT LACOUR of DTS SA, the company responsible for the site's earthwork and backfill services.
Given the very sandy material on the job site, it was important to separate the sand from the rock, and this was done with the MB-S23 screening bucket mounted on a Komatsu PC360 excavator. This is the world's largest model in this range, for excavators over 78,400 lb. It is ideal for screening both before and after crushing, as it reduces crushing time by up to 60%.
Our customer will then work with the BF120.4 jaw crusher installed on a Komatsu PC360 excavator to crush rock and produce the aggregate needed for backfill and paving. By combining the screening bucket with the crusher bucket, our customer gained all the benefits of an on-site recycling center.
"Turning waste into ready-to-use material is not just a matter of semantics, but a necessity," says Jonathan MARIE DIT LACOUR, CEO of DTS.
Which model is best choice for my machine?
Create your own on-site recycling center!
The BF120.4 jaw crusher, installed on an excavator on site, can crush different types of material to the required grain size. It can be transported with the operating machine, which allows great flexibility. It is easy to operate and maintain directly on any construction site.
The MB-S23 screening bucket, unique in the world for its basket capacity with a shape that allows it to screen large amounts of material. It can be used to screen and clean material before and after the crushing phase, increasing product quality.
The crusher bucket and screener are available in a variety of sizes to meet all needs. form the perfect combination for any job site that requires processing of waste material. They are the solution for creating a true on-site recycling center, which results in:
- Cutting time, due to increased efficiency and streamlined operations;
- saving money, on the purchase of raw materials, hauling expenses and waste disposal;
- reduction of CO2 emissions, less traffic around the construction site;
- Green building and circular economy on the construction site, turning waste into resources.
