Swiss contractor Toggenburg AG Winterthur completed a challenging project that required the processing and recycling of as much of 77,000 m~3 of material in an enclosed space, a task it completed in ten weeks. In 2012, Swiss safety glass producer Temperit ceased manufacturing at its Hinwil plant in the country and the site was scheduled for demolition. Toggenburg brought in a newly delivered Demlone DEM100 excavator, based on the Cat 385C tracked machine, with a 34 m high reach boom fitted with an OilQuick coupler and configured specifically to Toggenburg's specification. To process the 3 × 3 × 1.5 m thick foundations, another newly acquired piece of equipment - a 7 tonne Rammer 7013 hydraulic hammer - was used by the Dern100, mounted on its standard dig boom to break the concrete up.
