Pouch conveyor belts made by Continental are being used in the construction of an underground catch basin for 150,000 m~3 of water as part of a flood prevention project in Machida,Tokyo. "Continental is contributing to this project and supplying a special conveyor belt that can be used to transport the materials from the excavation of the collecting basin safely, cleanly and quietly from the construction site in the middle of a residential area," the company said in a statement. To build the basin - 20m deep, 190m long and 90m wide - thousands of tonnes of earth and bulk materials must first be excavated and transported out of the huge pit.
