A range of Extec crushing and screening equipment is spearheading the renovation of the Pulkovo Airport near St Petersburg in Russia. The recycling power of these highly mobile and productive machines is being harnessed by Recycle of Materials LLC (ROM), Russia’s leading exponent of construction and demolition waste recycling.
A broad range of Extec crushing and screening equipment is playing a pivotal role in the renovation of the Pulkovo Airport near St. Petersburg. The contract is being undertaken by Recycle of Materials LLC (ROM), the country’s leading exponent of construction and demolition waste recycling and which has extensive experience in the field of airport renovations.
US Concept
ROM was one of the first companies in Russia to identify the cost and environmental savings that construction and demolition waste recycling provided. “Back in 1997, I visited Colorado in the US and saw how they were turning waste concrete into a valuable resource. The name of the company I saw was Recycle of Materials,” says founder Andrey Protopopov. “Later, when I returned to Russia to start my own company, I used the same name and I even invited the American experts over to help me during the initial stages.” Protopopov says that the first two years of the company’s existence were difficult. But, as the growth of recycling spread and recycled materials became more popular, he has seen his company’s business boom. Indeed, his company is now seen as synonymous with the processing of demolition waste.
“There is still a huge number of buildings that were built in the 1950s and 60s that do not meet today’s living standards and which were constructed using poor-quality concrete,” Protopopov explains. “There is an acute need to get rid of them. We have already demolished more than 100 structures of five storeys or less in and around Moscow alone.
Airport Diversification
The success of this ongoing demolition programme, coupled with ROM’s recycling capabilities resulted in the company diversifying into the airport renovation business.
The company’s first major project was the demolition of runways at the Domodedovo International Airport in Moscow in 2000 during which ROM processed more than 20,000 m3 of concrete. The company employed the same techniques at Vnukovo Airport, also in Moscow, in 2003 and 2004. Based on the success of these contracts, ROM and its fleet of Extec equipment is now hard at work at Pulkovo airport in St. Petersburg.
Extec Only
Protopopov reports that, since 2004, his company has used only Extec equipment to crush, screen and recycle the arisings from these contracts. “The Extec C-10+ and C-12+ are the most efficient machines for processing reinforced concrete waste into ballast,” he says. “They are equipped with overband magnets to help remove reinforcing steel from the feed material and they’re also extremely versatile, allowing us to produce all kinds of basic materials from 0 to 100 mm according to the need and application.”
When higher quality is required, the company uses Extec I-C13 mobile cone and X38 and X44 impact crushers. These are supported by an array of Extec S-3, S-4, S-5, S-6 and S-7 track-mounted mobile screens that allow ROM to deliver a broad spectrum of high quality and consistent secondary materials.
Protopopov believes that construction and demolition waste has a huge potential for growth in his native Russia and says that with his Extec equipment fleet, he is ideally placed to exploit this potential. “It is inevitable that the need for demolition and recycling will continue to increase across the whole of Russia, not only in large cities but also in smaller towns and villages,” Andrey Protopopov concludes. “The amount of available material is huge and it would be a real pity to simply dump it, particularly when we have the equipment required to run this waste into a valuable resource.”
