Partnership results in high-tech quarry

摘要

Chattanooga may now be home to one of the most technologically advanced quarries in the world. "Not only is the equipment state-of-the art, but the plant we built is the first of its kind in the world," says Dr. Don Brock, president and CEO of Astec Industries, which designed and built the plant equipment."It's the first modular aggregate plant in existence. Because we only have to assemble - not construct - the entire plant on-site, we save our clients a tremendous amount of assembly time. These modular plants can be designed, built and in operation in a period of four months, compared to as long as two years for the ordering and construction of a typical aggregate plant," Brock says.
