VC & MD’s Message
Dear Customer,
A very warm greeting to all the readers of Concreting Times.
The last six months were not very eventful. Market continued to be flat even though sentiments continued
to be positive. The recently announced budget brought some cheer amongst the construction industry
and the equipment manufacturers with the announcement on increase in infrastructure investments,
setting up of 5 new ultra mega power projects of 4000 megawatts and announcement of issue of
infrastructure bonds.
For the concreting equipment manufacturers, there is added hope as the highways minister has been
repeatedly hinting at more and more concrete road projects. There is an urgent need that government
implements all these projects as quickly as possible.
At SSI, we are heavily banking on the implementation of these projects and in anticipation, are
further investing on mechanization. In the last six months, we also launched two new products
viz., tower cranes and self-loading mixers. Our team is working very hard to localize these
products and be a substantial contributor to developing India.
Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to wish all the readers a very Happy and
Prosperous New Year 2015.
All the best,
Vice Chairman & Managing Director - SSI

Kashmir, India. It spans the Chenab River between Bakkal and Kauri,
in Reasi district of Jammu and Kashmir. When completed, the bridge
will be 359 meters (1,178 ft) above the river Chenab and it will be the
Highest Bridge in the World. The bridge is part of several bridges and
tunnels which makes up the Katra - Laole Section of the JUSBRL
Project in Jammu and Kashmir.
Northern Railway owns the total Project, Konkan Railway Corporation

Why Schwing Stetter India?
When you talk about quality &reliability in concrete machinery, the only name which I can recall
is Schwing Stetter India. After getting associated with Schwing Stetter I got to know,how much
maintenance cost and difficulties we have reduced in our company.
I personally used to visit all my old non Schwing machinery & batching plants on daily basis due
to down time,halting & spare parts issue but after getting associated with Schwing Stetter's
Machinery I am relaxed. I visit the sites with Schwing Stetter's Machinery once in a month or
two, it's been more than 18 Months,and there is no single downtime with Schwing Stetter's Plant
& Pump.
My Experience with Schwing Stetter Concrete
Pumps.
The ease of operations in Schwing Stetter Concrete Pumps has no
match in the Concrete Industry. I strongly believe Schwing Stetter
is the real master when it comes to Concrete Pumping.The
machines are so operator friendly that I have trained four of my
helpers who are working in Delhi NCR as professional
operators.With Schwing's Rock Valve the choking & Maintenance of
the pumps has reduced. The spares parts availability and the
service support are always there to back us.

Project Abroad
Deep Caissons Pumped w/ Separate Placing Boom
Replacing the Hwy 70 bridge over Caney Fork River between Sparta
and Smithville, TN is anything but normal. Because the State has
plans to widen the route in the future, the design calls for a support
structure of cast-in-place concrete that could accommodate four
lanes of traffic. The current $38 million contract held by Massman
Construction, Kansas City, MO calls for a two-lane welded steel bridge
on the four-lane substructure. And because the Caney Fork River was
dammed in the late 1950s the Caney Fork River forms Center Hill Lake
at the Hwy 70 crossing.
“Because the reservoir is not navigable, we had to truck everything to
the site – cranes, barges, pumps,” according to Massman Senior
Project Manager, Dale Helmig. It took over 250 trailer loads to bring in
five cranes up to 300-ton capacity, barges large enough to support
the massive lifting equipment, a Schwing SP 4800 concrete pump and
31-meter separate placing boom. The process of pinning together 10ft x 40-ft modular barge sections, assembling five cranes and support
equipment took two months beginning in April 2013.
movement. “We have to maintain a 190-foot open channel at all times
which is why we have pumped from both sides of the river, “ according
to Helmig.
The SP 4800 is maintaining volume and distance requirements on the
job with a 443-hp diesel powering an open loop hydraulic system with
eight-inch diameter pumping cylinders. The pump features highvolume and high-pressure settings that can be switched depending
on the application. A high pressure Rock Valve with dual shifting
cylinders complements the 2020-5 150/90 pump kit that can
generate 2364 psi on the concrete. “We have several Schwings that
have performed well with very little maintenance which is essential in
these out-of-the-way locations,” says Helmig.
The new bridge is being
built 60-feet north of the
existing bridge which spans
1200-feet of the lake.
Caissons up to 150-feet
deep and 11.5-feet in
diameter were drilled to
bedrock and the resulting
piers formed from concrete
pumped with a tremie pipe.
The SP 4800 is pumping
from both sides of the river and up to 1150-feet of five-inch pipeline
has been assembled to reach the pier work at times. “Some of the
piers took more than 575-yards of concrete just to break water,”
Helmig states, “From there we add a 30-foot shaft extension of
poured-in- place concrete, then we pump the strut that ties a set of
three piers together, add an eight-foot diameter column and eightfoot cap. At that point we are 90-feet above the water.” There are
three sets of three piers being constructed in the channel and one set
of piers on land to support the new bridge. Concrete abutments on
both banks are also being pumped as part of the contract.
“We have been able to pump up to one hundred yards per hour at
times, but we average sixty-five to eighty yards per hour most of the
time,” Helmig notes, “Some of the larger volume piers have taken ten
hours of continuous pumping.” Pumping through the cranesupported tremie pipe puts the end in fresh concrete so that the rising
concrete from the bottom displaces the water without washing out
the cement content. After
priming the pipeline, a ball
is inserted which pushes
out any water in the line
and concrete follows.
Because of the depth of
some of the caissons, the
tremie pipe is in two
sections. As concrete rises
in the caisson, the placing

rises. When the junction in
the tremie pipe emerges
from the concrete, the
pump is stopped, the top
section of tremie pipe is
disconnected and

In order to reach to the top of the piers, Massman utilizes a bargemounted Schwing three-section 31-meter pacing boom. The
hydraulic boom mounts on a pedestal that is bolted to an X-frame
welded to the barge. A diesel power pack accompanies the boom. The
pipeline from pump to boom is laid over the existing bridge and
barges in 10-foot lengths with heavy-duty clamps. A one cubic-yard
thrust-block near the pump embeds the first section of pipe to reduce

experience gained with sieve / Cyclone separation system, Stetter
has developed this concrete recycling plant. Our systems have proved
to be more reliable, economical and highly wear-resistant. Our
permanent development efforts have made the Stetter
concrete recycling plant an exceptionally strong
product.
We offer Bag Cutting System for feeding Cement, Fly ash, Micro Silica
etc in high speed. In this System wastage of Material is almost nil,
Involvement of labour is also not required to operate this machine. It
comes with an electrical panel with mimic display. It can be operated
