Ammann India has announced the successful
application of the ELBA CC150 concrete batching plants in recently upgraded Nashik–Niphad–Yeola–Vaijapur–Aurangabad
Road (MSH-2), a 56 km highway stretch being developed under EPC-59 for the
Public Works Department (PWD), Maharashtra. The brownfield project involves
widening the existing two-lane road to four lanes while converting the pavement
from bituminous to rigid concrete.
With a project cost of approximately INR 560-crore,
executed by GHV (India) Pvt. Ltd. in a joint venture with SB Deshmukh and
Forcon Infra Pvt. Ltd. used ELBA CC150 batching plants supplied by Ammann,
deployed at the site by Nashik- based M/s. Bramghiri Infra LLP. At the core of
the project’s execution were two ELBA CC150 concrete batching plants supplied
by Ammann India.
Commissioned on 3 July 2025, these plants served as
the sole batching solution for the entire stretch, each delivering a production
capacity of 130 m³ per hour. Together, they produced approximately 165,000
cubic metres of concrete, including Dry Lean Concrete (DLC), Pavement Quality
Concrete (PQC), and structural grades ranging from M10 to M30.
The deployment demonstrated the efficacy of
high-capacity batching technology in brownfield infrastructure projects, where
space constraints, continuous traffic management, and phased construction
demand consistent and reliable output. The ELBA CC150 plants enabled
uninterrupted production cycles, precise material control, and uniform mix
quality which are critical factors in achieving durable concrete pavements
within tight project timelines.
The plant setup included separate storage sections
for different sizes of stone and sand, along with large silos to store cement
and GGBS. It also used automated systems to move materials smoothly through the
plant, helping avoid delays and keeping production running continuously.
