Stationary asphalt plant ABP 400 Universal

Northeast China is the coldest spot in the country. The annual construction season is much shorter than other parts of China, so highly efficient and productive equipment is essential. The construction season, shortened as it is, now includes the A2 section of the Beijing-Harbin Expressway expansion project. Providing mix for this key project is an Ammann ABP 400 Universal Asphalt-Mixing Plant. Purchasing the plant, and handling the project, was Longjian Road & Bridge Group and some of its subsidiaries. The plant was installed and commissioned in May 2020. This spring, it will produce more asphalt for the expansion. The expressway connects very diverse cities. On one end is Beijing, the capital city with a population of more than 21 million. On the other end is Harbin, known as the “Ice City,” with a population of 10 million. Harbin is located in the Heilongjiang Province. The expressway is one of the busiest of the six major southbound routes in the province and must be kept open during the expansion. There was a great deal of optimism around the Beijing-Harbin Expressway project. It was even listed as one of the Top 100 project in Heilongjiang Province. But it was delayed due to the impact of coronavirus. In order to get the project back on track, Longjian Road & Bridge Group put the ABP 400 Universal to work. The challenge was to meet production demands that would get the A2 section on schedule.
