Case studies

Our case studies

Ecodem – Bertacchina Quarry, Verona

The Ecodem plant at the Bertacchina Quarry in Verona had to meet a specific requirement: to produce six distinct particle size classes from alluvial material, with two different market destinations requiring different processing methods.

Vipiteno

250 t/h

The Vipiteno plant had to meet a specific operational requirement: to produce aggregates for two different end uses, concrete and asphalt, by processing three materials with very different characteristics: diabase, granite and limestone.

Union Beton

600 t/h

The Union Beton system represents a specific technical case, which is fairly common in the concrete aggregates sector: the production of certified particle size classes from alluvial groundwater-derived material, with all the complexities that this entails.

Dam in Tajikistan

3.000 t/h

The project in Tajikistan has one feature that sets it apart from all the other ICM case studies: the material to be processed does not come directly from a quarry designed by ICM, but is already excavated by another contractor. The ICM system is not designed to extract and produce aggregates from scratch, but to take that raw alluvial material and process it to meet the technical specifications required for use in dam construction.

Passante di Valico

500 t/h

The Passante di Valico is one of the largest infrastructure projects in Italy in recent decades: a motorway upgrade project on the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines which required significant volumes of aggregates for structural concrete, asphalt and backfill, with stringent technical specifications and a schedule that allowed for no interruptions in the supply of materials.

Dam in Laos

1.500 t/h

The construction of a dam in Laos required the production of over 4 million cubic metres of aggregates for use in the production of RCC concrete. Such volume cannot be handled by just any plant: a system is required that is designed to operate continuously, in a remote geographical location, on a specific material, with precise particle size classes that remain constant over time.

Blue Nile Dam

2.000 t/h

The Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) is the largest dam in the African continent. Built on the Blue Nile, one of the most geographically inaccessible and logistically complex areas in the world, it requires enormous quantities of RCC (Roller Compacted Concrete): a technology that tolerates no variation in the quality of aggregates.

Expansion of the Panama Canal

4.800 t/h Completamente gestibile da remoto

The expansion of the Panama Canal is one of the most ambitious infrastructure projects of the 21st century. Enormous quantities of high-quality aggregates were required to build the new containment chambers on the Pacific and Atlantic coasts, for use in the production of structural concrete.
