20T excavator with 0.9m3 bucket that can excavate this materiar at 40 m3 per
hour.
.
Sufficient trucks to keep up with the excavator
r
Vibrating plate
compactor that can compact filr materiar (to 100% modified
compaction) at the rate of delivery and spreading
by the'ior excavator.
r A concrete pump
with a capacity of 25 m3/hour.
