Project
Holcim's extraction area in Brunnen covers around 21 hectares and is divided into a gravel plant, material storage area, quarry and concrete plant. In connection with the construction of the ‘N4 Neue Axenstrasse’ motorway, which crosses the Holcim site in Brunnen, extensive adjustments had to be made to the traffic management system on the factory premises and at the processing plants.
These adjustments included the conversion of the loading facilities at gravel plants 1 and 2. In addition, the truck loading facility at gravel plant 2 was modernised. The truck loading facility at gravel plant 1 was dismantled. A feed chute was installed to feed the dosing and loading facility from the external depot or from trucks.
