C&D waste recycling in record time at Salzburg airport

The 2,750-metre-long runway at Salzburg airport has been around for almost 60 years. Following a total shutdown of five weeks, Salzburg airport opened again on 28 May. RUBBLE MASTER made a considerable contribution to the general renovation. Using a compact crusher from the Linz-based company, 8,500 tonnes of material were crushed on site at Salzburg airport and immediately reused.

"This job was a challenge due to its tight time schedule," says Klaus Weickl, Managing Director of Weickl Erdbau GmbH. "We only had four weeks to complete all the work." The rented, compact RM 100GO! crusher was able to work directly on-site at Salzburg Airport and in just under a week was able to crush all the material from the almost three-kilometre-long runway into a recyclable final aggregate. This value aggregate was used for the sub-structure of the new runway. Klaus Weickl is convinced of the sustainable use of resources: "The recycling of C&D waste creates a loop in which transport and material costs are saved and environmental impact is reduced."

Unique rental model impresses business owner
The core business of Weickl Erdbau GmbH, who are based in Hallein, is earth moving and demolition. Due to the wide range of jobs they cover, it makes sense for the company to rent a compact crusher for certain contracts. Weickl has been using this rental concept for several years. "In our case, the volume we process is too small to justify the purchase of a crusher. The rental system is perfect for us for processing materials directly at construction sites," says the managing director of the construction company. Crushers and screens can be easily rented from RUBBLE MASTER in Austria and Switzerland. The contractor remains flexible and gets the right product for the respective location and time frame.

RUBBLE MASTER's quality and service is one of the reasons why the rental model is so appreciated by business owners. Klaus Weickl has been working with crushers made Linz for many years: "At a construction site on the A99 motorway in Munich we also had a RUBBLE MASTER machine in operation, the RM 120GO!. Both the performance of the crusher and the handling for the employees was significantly better than that of competing products - also in terms of technical issues." With proven RM 24/7 Service, there is always a contact partner available who can find a solution quickly.
