EQUIPMENT:
THE ESSENTIAL VECTOR
FOR PROGRESS ON WORK SITES
Work site equipment lies at the heart of the construction process. The worldacclaimed technical prowess of French public works contractors would not be
possible without it. The capabilities of our partners and equipment manufacturing
partners are a key factor that will guarantee us the very best performances in our
activities. INTERMAT, which FNTP has been sponsoring since its inaugural edition,
is one of the leading international showcases for them.
In all areas, from continuous performance enhancement to energy saving or changing
regulations, equipment is under constant challenge. Through its use in a wide range
of settings, equipment increasingly adapts to attain the safest possible conditions
for people, make responsible use of natural resources, materials and energy, and
achieve better project acceptability. At all stages of the construction cycle, equipment
and systems have entered into a new digital dimension which is today an everyday
part of our businesses’ lives.
Work site plant and equipment users and the FNTP maintain regular and permanent
contact with manufacturers. Discussing key concerns together and validating new
requirements both help to promote and support our manufacturers’ innovation
policies.
The list of our 2015 award winners, in line with those of previous editions, bears the
hallmark of a wider diversity whilst remaining focussed on the permanent challenges
of public works contractors, such as the safety of workers and environmental
protection. However, we can also note the emergence of new avenues of innovation
connected to digital such as the management and capitalisation of data and the
management of work site processes.
Come and discover these new innovations at INTERMAT 2015!

INTERMAT has always been the place for showcasing innovation
in equipment, machinery and processes used for construction
and materials production.
Innovation, at a time of economic tension, is more essential
than ever. INTERMAT has succeeded in its successive editions in
shining a spotlight on this creativity by paying tribute to the most
remarkable initiatives through its Innovation Awards.
An international judging panel, chaired by FNTP president Bruno
Cavagné and comprising 11 industry specialists representative
of building industry equipment and process users, examined the
applications submitted by INTERMAT 2015 exhibitors and elected
the winners of the 2015 INTERMAT Innovation Awards.
The 2015 INTERMAT Innovation Awards are outstanding for a
number of reasons.
■
The 2015 INTERMAT Innovation Awards are the illustration of the variety of sectors for
which equipment is the most essential means of production. In the area of buildings:
structural works, finishing works and demolition. In public works: earthmoving, roads and
civil engineering. And, serving both of these areas, quarries and prefabrication.
■
The 2015 INTERMAT Innovation Awards are a reflection of the international spectrum of
the product offering in worksite equipment. Among the manufacturers who have received
awards, 6 countries are represented.
■
The 2015 INTERMAT Innovation Awards are also in line with the leading priorities of
businesses today: environmental protection, looking after the health of employees, staff
safety on work sites.
■
The 2015 INTERMAT Innovation Awards support the expansion of the Intermat product
offering with a special focus on the concrete sector, served by the brand new World of
Concrete Europe, an integral part of INTERMAT 2015.

AN EXHAUSTIVE OFFERING
The sheer diversity of the 2015 INTERMAT Innovation Award winners is proof of the
variety and quality of the number of applications submitted: 78 in all, of which 29
were nominated for awards and 12 ultimately elected as winners.
PRODUCTIVITY
The aim of worksite equipment and machinery is to enable the construction of building and
public works structures. The efficiency of their on-site performance is the primary feature
that visitors to INTERMAT look for. The 2015 INTERMAT Innovation Awards give recognition to
equipment and machinery that is capable of improving firms’ productivity.
SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENT
Staff safety is also a constant concern for firms.
Protecting the environment is subject of growing importance for responsible organisations. It
is increasingly integrated into the experience of construction industry players. Each and every
2015 INTERMAT Innovation Award distinguishes equipment and machinery designed with
safety and the environment in mind.
HEADLINE PRODUCTS
For its compact excavators, which are extremely widespread machines in firms’ and rental
companies’ fleets, Wacker Neuson offers a dual-power solution which can help to protect the
environment. A separate mobile electro-hydraulic unit connects to the excavator’s hydraulic
circuit. It can operate as a substitute to the diesel drive in zones where exhaust gas emissions
are prohibited. This system makes the whole vehicle very flexible in its use.
Slab formwork has brought about the emergence of a large number of systems. APHI has
brought out a product made of three innovative aluminium elements: modular panels,
extendable primary beams and angular secondary beams, all inter-combinable – which allows
the formwork to adjust to all geometric shapes. The formwork panels are set up on a solid
surface, removing the risk of falling from height. Finally the system’s flexibility adds, alongside
productivity gains, a simplification to the management of equipment stocks, through the
reduction in product listings.
Mobile asphalt plants have earned their place in the road building industry. MARINI offers a
plant with a flow range of 80 to 160 t/h, suited to small size projects but comprising innovations
which can lead to reduced production costs. This continuous plant is fitted in particular with a
drying and recycling counter flow tube which allows it to recycle mixes up to a rate of 50% RAP.

French regulations require that tower cranes are fitted with a crane operator lift when the
operator has to work above a certain height: 60m currently, 30m in 2017. In other countries,
some companies equip their cranes in this way without being obliged to. While many units
attach to the outside of the crane mast, LIEBHERR provides an elegant response to the issue
with a unit which works inside the tower section using a double rack rail and removes the need
for assembly and dismantling on site. In addition, this lift works on a 48V lithium rechargeable
battery which recovers the energy generated by the descent of the lift, representing
approximately 40% of the equipment’s consumption. It can also be retrofitted to the brand’s
existing cranes.
Quick couplers have become widespread on earthmoving and handling equipment increasing
their flexibility by facilitating the attachment of accessories such as buckets, forks, etc. However
they can also cause accidents due to accessories falling off. MECALAC, one of the pioneers in
the area, offers a quick coupler which eliminates this danger. The equipment is fitted with ears
– allowing it to be handled from two directions – whose shape requires that the accessory be
on the ground in order to be released. It is therefore no longer possible for tools to fall off, even
if the hydraulic coupling is disconnected either voluntarily or accidentally.
The telescopic boom is very popular in both construction and agriculture. But this mobile
equipment, when bearing a load, can be liable to overturn. Manufacturers have already solved
the problem of forward overturn. MERLO has designed a monitoring system for lateral overturn,
which it has integrated into the monitoring of the overall stability of the machine. An electronic
terminal reads the data transmitted by on-board sensors and displays information to the
operator on the machine’s stability in all directions. It gives warning of dangerous situations,
and if necessary, blocks any movement which might further increase the danger.
Dismantling has taken over from demolition. Through the necessity of sorting rubble for
recycling purposes, the accessories of hydraulic excavators often have to carry out meticulous
movements, at height and at the end of a long reach. As a result, instability could occur and go
as far as causing an accident. LIEBHERR has designed a system which informs the operator in
real time the position of the demolition equipment to centimetre accuracy. This system uses the
data transmitted by angle sensors and automatic recognition of the length of the excavator’s
attachments, combined with the type of accessory and its weight entered into the machine’s
electronics. The operator is thus able to work within a safety zone displayed on a screen.
A single piece of software collating topographical survey data, boundary marking, verification,
geo-localised utilities detection, the location of road or civil engineering projects, all on a
single interface, is what ATLOG has succeeded in offering. This instrument used is a hardened
tablet, connected by Bluetooth to GPS surveying equipment, total stations, etc. The surveyor
thus benefits from real-time visibility, for example on an AutoCAD plan, of the density of points
plotted, zones requiring densification and instantaneous cubic volume calculations.

Up to now it was not possible to carry out contact-free measurement of aggregate granulometry
on a conveyor, for example when leaving a screening system. The product designed by
AUTOM’ELEC uses optical triangulation by deploying a laser module, a video camera and a
software solution. The outcome is a statistical modelling of material size, their distribution and
their movement. It is a tool to assist the set-up and adjustment of materials processing plants
and production certification.
Pouring concrete on site is an operation which must be planned ahead, for economic reasons
but also to optimise transport and storage zones on the work site. Aimed at building contractors,
the software designed by TEKLA makes it possible to design, estimate, manage and plan all
types of project. It uses an intuitive 3G BIM (Building information modelling) type model, but
it can also import architecture models. It allows for the sorting and extraction of quantities
required for the project. Carrying Windows certification, it is also multi-user.
Waste water from concrete batching plants may contain chromium VI, a hazardous heavy metal.
MS offers a simple system which introduces a dose of reagent that is not harmful to either
health or the environment. It reduces chromium VI to chromium III through the addition of an
ascorbic acid based solution and fine filtration to recover a suspension. This system comes in
the form of a preassembled and pre-cabled skid, easy to transport from one site to the next.
Floor slab shuttering is an important part of concrete application. BRIDGEND EXTRUSION
offers a system using screed rails made from extruded uPVC, with pre-drilled holes for dowel
bars, assembled using adaptable joint clips. As the rail structure is hollow, concrete can be
poured both sides. The removable top strip achieves clean dry sealant lines. Lightweight and
easy to set up, these rails are resistant enough to support the use of vibrating twin beams. They
can be installed by untrained personnel. They are made from landfill-diverted PVC windows.

■
■
A renewed European judging panel bringing together “users” and representatives of applied
research and the academic world.
Categories reflecting the life cycle of a construction project cycle.
The creation of a new special “World of Concrete Europe” Award, as part of the launch
of the exhibition World of Concrete Europe, giving recognition to a piece of equipment, a
solution or an innovative application, from across all of the competition categories.
PANEL AND SELECTION PROCESS
A panel made up of European specialists from research and industry judges the exhibitors’
entries.
At a preliminary meeting, a select committee shortlists the products which are allowed to
compete, and distribute the entries among the panel members according to their area of
expertise. At a second meeting, the entire panel reviews these entries. At their third and
final meeting, the panel discusses and decides on the winners of the Gold, Silver and Bronze
Awards, as well as the winners of the “Environment” and “World of Concrete Europe” Awards.
The judging panel nevertheless reserves the right not to award a prize in a category if it
considers that it contains no innovative products and, on the contrary, may decide to make a
“judges’ special award”.
RESULTS AND AWARDS CEREMONY
The official announcement of the results and the award ceremony take place three months
before the trade show, at the Pre-INTERMAT gala dinner on 22 January 2015 at the Maison de
la Mutualité, Paris.

MEET THE JUDGES
AND EXPERTS
Bruno CAVAGNE (France)
President of the FNTP (French Civil Engineering Federation)
Bruno CAVAGNE (France) President of the FNTP (French Civil Engineering Federation)
The business career of Bruno Cavagné, chairman of the French national public works federation
FNTP, can be summed up in two words, Delegation and Diversification, which appear regularly
in the life history of this business leader born in Toulouse.
Diversification in driving the development of the Giesper group, founded by his grandfather
Georges Giesper in 1932. When his father and his brother both died tragically, he was propelled
to the top of the public works firm, in the throes of the crisis that hit the industry in the early
1990s. At this point he was merely 27 years old, yet he was to spearhead the development of
the group by conquering new markets located way beyond its home region of Midi-Pyrénées in
the south west of France.
The family-run building firm is today a diversified group which is active in civil engineering,
utility network construction, structural building, painting, waste management, real estate and
hotels.
Delegation of responsibility. As a man keen on exchange and encounters, Bruno Cavagné has
committed himself fully to the world of work and his business by respecting these principles:
firstly at Toulouse in the FRTP (chairman from 2008 to June 2013) and the city’s chamber of
commerce and industry (chairman of the public procurement committee from 1997 to 2009);
board member at Canalisateurs de France (utility network builders) then at FNTP and Syndicat
de France. As a member of the bureaux from 2007 onwards then vice chairman in 2012-2013,
he was subsequently elected Chairman of FNTP in September 2013. He is also a board member
at SMAVie and CNETP.
With an attentive eye on the declining competitiveness of French Public Works contractors,
Bruno Cavagné’s aim is to spur the public authorities into facing up to their responsibilities and
convince them of the necessity of rekindling investment whilst encouraging them to explore
new and ground-breaking solutions.

Pierre PIROTTON (Belgium)
GALERE SA – Technical Director
With a Construction Civil Engineering degree from Liege University (Belgium), I started
my career at SECO, a technical inspection body for construction, as project engineer. In
Belgium, technical inspections take place at the initiative of the builder(s), and are the
prerequisite for inherent defect insurance relating to the structure inspected. For more
than 10 years, I was in charge of the inspection of a wide range of project designs in civil
engineering and buildings, thus allowing me to develop my experience in foundation
calculation, modelling and calculation of concrete, mixed material and wood structures
and in full knowledge of the construction materials in their applications.
Around three years ago I joined the firm Galère, the Wallonia construction market leader,
as technical director. This position allows me to leverage my experience to provide support
to the company in designing, planning and delivering its civil engineering and building
projects, from proposal stage through to acceptance. With the current economic climate, we
are facing complex projects to be completed in challenging timeframes and environments
in particular. To remain competitive, we at Galère are always required to be inventive and
occasionally audacious, and up-to-date on the market’s latest technical developments.
In this respect, INTERMAT and in particular being a judge on a panel that rewards
innovations, offers a good opportunity to learn about the current technical breakthroughs
in the construction sector which Galère has to seize on.
Massimiliano RUGGERI (Italy)
IMAMOTER – Technical Director
My course of study includes an MSC in Electronic Engineering, and a PhD in Management
Engineering; I had an experience in Industry as electronic system designer for automotive
systems and engine control systems, where I gained my experience on power management.
My job in CNR, started in 2001, my research interests are related to electronic system
control of heavy duty machines, both for transmissions and for components hydraulic
systems and for electro-mechanical systems and electric motors.
I also am involved in studies related to autonomous machines and in machine cluster
control and, in general on distributed control systems.
I also hold the Microprocessor Systems and Computer System Design courses at the
Electronic Engineering faculty of Ferrara University in Italy.
I’m glad to participate in Intermat as a judge for the Innovation Awards and I hope to
contribute to choose the most promising technologies and solutions for a better world.

GROUP
Mini excavator 803 dual power
DESCRIPTION
Stand n° Ext 5 E 004
The formula for emission-free excavating from Wacker Neuson = excavator 803 with dual power
option + electro-hydraulic unit HPU8. In addition to the integrated diesel engine, the unit HPU8 can
be connected to the excavator 803. Thus, the excavator can be operated electrically and completely
emission-free, e.g. in indoor applications. In outdoor applications, the excavator can be used
in the conventional diesel mode. This gives contractors full flexibility and broadens the range of
applications.
OPERATING PRINCIPLE
The excavator can be operated in two modes: diesel or electric. What is special about the dual
power solution is that for the operator the sequence of operations remains completely unchanged
after the connection of the generator. As it is an external solution, the operating weight, stability
and dimensions of the excavator itself do not change, the performance, the tail swing radius and
360-degree rotation remain unrestricted in electrical operation and allow flexibility for the operator.
TECHNICAL DESIGN
With the external electro-hydraulic power unit HPU8, the smallest Wacker Neuson excavator 803 dual
power can be operated electrically with zero emissions in addition to its conventional diesel mode.
It can be used for work indoors, in sensitive environments but also as a conventional mini excavator.
The tail swing radius, the 360 degree rotation of the chassis as well as the operating weight, stability
and the dimensions do not change with the option as the power unit comes separately.
ECONOMY
The mini-excavator 803 dual power is a machine that offers the features of a conventional diesel
excavator, yet, at the same time, with the dual power option can be turned into a machine for
emission-free applications. This saves costs, as contractors only need one machine for various types
of working conditions; the option expands the application areas of the mini-excavator to indoors and
outdoors and ensures a high machine utilization.
OPERATION
The excavator can be operated in two modes: diesel or electric. What is special about the dual power
solution is that for the operator the sequence of operations remains completely unchanged after the
connection of the generator. As it is an external solution, the operating weight, stability and dimensions
of the excavator itself do not change, the performance, the tail swing radius and 360-degree rotation
remain unrestricted in electrical operation and allow flexibility for the operator.
USE
The dual power excavator is very operator-friendly. The transport, the connection of the power unit
to the excavator, the operation – everything has been well thought out. E.g., the lifting point bracket
of the drive unit HPU8 is also used as a connection lance to stabilize the hose where it is connected
to the excavator. The performance and operation remain unchanged in electrical operation. Most
important, the user is protected from exhaust emissions when working in the electrical mode.

The electro-hydraulic generator HPU8 and the excavator 803 dual power produce zero exhaust
emissions in the electric drive mode and thus protect the environment, the operator and the people
on the construction site. Working with the electro-hydraulic drive, the excavator also produces
significantly lower noise emissions and, as a result, can be used in sensitive surroundings such as
hospitals, schools and indoors.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The hydraulic power unit HPU8 has been designed specifically for excavator operation and is
characterized by its compact and sturdy design and a cooling capacity, which has been tailored for
the compact excavator 803. The unit weighs 190 kilograms and has compact dimensions. It saves

Lift crane operator
DESCRIPTION
Stand n° Ext 6 E 035
This crane operator lift is made to comply with the recommendation R459,and respect the EN 8143-2009 and highest safety with Performance Level d (EN 13849) Regulation, and more specifically
to overcome the ergonomic work access issue of the crane operator. This unit is designed to be used
inside the tower section (up to a tower section 2.30 x 2.30). Due to this, there is no need to dismantle
and erect the lift during the crane dismounting.
OPERATING PRINCIPLE
Reduction of the energy consumption by using a battery which will be charged downhill. No battery
maintenance. Saving the mounting and dismounting costs for the lift crane operator because
situated inside of the tower (about 2000 Euros per operation) ...
TECHNICAL DESIGN
The current solutions available on the market are always outside the tower section, that is why
during each dismounting of the crane you have the disadvantage of mounting and dismantling the
lift. With the LiUP 200, the lift is pre-installed permanently inside the tower. Only an adjustment
between each tower section is required. Productivity gain due to the mounting and dismounting
operations (height) of the lift and the rack.
ECONOMY
Implementation costs are reduced thanks to the possibility of the pre installation. Investments
limited because the machine is protected by the tower section that means reducing the damage rate
(shocks during transport, undo manipulations during mounting or dismounting ...)
OPERATION
Reduction of the energy consumption by using a battery which will be charged downhill. No battery
maintenance. Saving the mounting and dismounting costs for the lift crane operator because

Quick coupler M-Connect
DESCRIPTION
Stand n° Ext 5 K 004
Mecalac was the first manufacturer to equip its machines as standard with a quick coupler .In order
to offer always more safer and more versatile machines Mecalac has developped M-Connect : a new
quick-coupler, reversible, which avoids to lose the tool. This is the safest and most compact quick
coupler available on the market. A detector indicates also when the locking is well done.
OPERATING PRINCIPLE
With M-Connect grasping the tool is easy, fast and safe: The driver sets up the bottom pin of the
arm between the ears of the tool and lifts it. The tool is then retained thanks to the hooks, then the
driver moves the cylinder bucket until the second pin is in contact with the tool. By controlling the
retraction of M-connect cylinder , the second pin comes in front of the locking ears. By stopping the
retraction the cylinder extends and then locks and keeps locked the tool.
TECHNICAL DESIGN
M-Connect doesn’t need additionnal pins on the machine. The only new part is a cylinder. There is
no maintenance on M-Connect (no additionnal greasing points ...) It is a very simple and efficient
system (pin/hook).
ECONOMY
The grasping ears of the tools needed for the existing quick couplers have approximatly the same
weight than other adapters. The M-Connect itself is the lightest quick-coupler available on the
market (70kg less than current one on a 10T excavator!).This reduction of weight at the end of the
arm allows also to reduce the weight of the counterweight (210 kg less for a 10T excavator !). This
dual gain on raw material also reduces component wear and reduces energy consumption.
OPERATION
With M-Connect grasping the tool is easy, fast and safe: The driver sets up the bottom pin of the
arm between the ears of the tool and lifts it. The tool is then retained thanks to the hooks, then the
driver moves the cylinder bucket until the second pin is in contact with the tool. By controlling the
retraction of M-connect cylinder , the second pin comes in front of the locking ears. By stopping the
retraction the cylinder extends and then locks and keeps locked the tool.
USE
M-Connect ensures a maximum safety in use even during the intermediate phase of locking and
unlocking where accidents often happen. As long as the tool is lifted from the ground it can not fall
(even in case of misoperation). A sensor indicates also in the cabin when the locking is well done.
M-Connect allows also to take in both directions tools designed for this purpose (reversibility).
ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY
M-Connect is more compact and lighter, it requires less energy and raw material to produce .
The complete weight of the machine equipped with M-Connect is lighter , the machine requires
less energy to move and work on the job site= less consumption and less CO2 emissions. Because
M-Connect increases the versatility of the machine, the number of machines on job site can be
reduced = less CO2 emissions.

M TSS - Merlo Transversal
Stability System
DESCRIPTION
Stand n° Ext 5 E 003
After introducing the most comprehensive and advanced longitudinal stability management system
(MCDC), the company now launches a new, ground-breaking safety feature for the agricultural
sector: lateral overturn protection. It prevents lateral overturning by providing the operator realtime feedback on the lateral stability index through a cab-mounted LDC display, a light indicator and
a buzzer.
OPERATING PRINCIPLE
The system is completely automatic. It recognizes the attached implements, the weight of the load,
the boom geometry and the total balance of the telhandler. The operator works in maximum safety
conditions and the machine can perform at its best (Max productivity).
TECHNICAL DESIGN
Specifically, the system’s unique features are: Unique back lateral and longitudinal stability
management system. In order to guarantee the vehicle’s integrated (front/back longitudinal and
lateral) stability, the device captures all key parameters linked to the vehicle’s stability: i.e. individual
wheel loads, boom position, extension, angles, lifted load, chassis tilt angle and boom attachment
recognition, 100 times per second.
ECONOMY
The system proposed by Merlo is aimed at increasing safety standards. As far as Merlo is concerned
safety represents an essential and fundamental value and therefore the M TSS system will be fitted
in base machine and without any price increase to the final customer. After sales services are not
expected. It offers economical advantages because it can prevent accidents caused to things and
people.
OPERATION
The system is completely automatic. It recognizes the attached implements, the weight of the load,
the boom geometry and the total balance of the telhandler. The operator works in maximum safety
conditions and the machine can perform at its best (Max productivity).
USE
In order to guarantee the vehicle’s integrated (front/back longitudinal and lateral) stability, the
device captures all key parameters linked to the vehicle’s stability: i.e. individual wheel loads, boom
position, extension, angles, lifted load, chassis tilt. The system processes all parameters of the
Merlo telehandler on an ongoing basis and intervenes, depending on the type of issue detected, by
either warning the operator or blocking any movement that would compromise the vehicle’s stability.
ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY
The system provided by Merlo is made up of sensors, cables and a screen; the electronicallycontrolled part dedicated to attachments is 100% environmentally friendly. The system will be
fitted to the latest generation of Merlo telehandlers which are also equipped with the latest EPD

LDC - Liebherr Demolition
Control
Stand n° Ext 6 E 035
DESCRIPTION
Liebherr has developed a new unique system called LDC, for Liebherr Demolition Control. This
system allows at any time to give to the operator the position of the demolition attachment and to
guarantee the stability of the demolition excavator.
OPERATING PRINCIPLE
The extended reach allows the customer to reach additional working area which gives him productivity
gain on his jobsite.
TECHNICAL DESIGN
The challenge was to find a solution to integrate this LDC system into the electronics of the
excavator and to simplify the manipulations for the operator. This led us to propose an automatic
recognition of the attachment lengths , to install angle sensors to know the position of the equipment
and to integrate into the display of the excavator the tools types with their weight. To optimize the
performances of the excavator an extended reach with limitation of rotation has been. developed.
ECONOMY
Due to the integration of the system LDC to the electronics of the excavator the customer needs no
more specific components which allowed him to earn money at the purchase and the maintenance
becomes easier.
OPERATION
The extended reach allows the customer to reach additional working area which gives him productivity
gain on his jobsite.
USE
This new LDC eliminates a possible human error which could affect the stability of the machine. A
tactile color display allows to visualize the animation of the position of the attachment in real time
and to inform the driver of the authorized movements. A display of the position (flatness) of the
machine is also given to the driver.
ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY
The increase of the working zone allowed by the extended reach allows to realize demolition works
with machines of smaller size which reduced consumptions during work and during transport of the
machine.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
R960 Demolition which will be exposed on our stand is equipped with this new system. We are at
present the only manufacturer of demolition excavator who propose such a security system.

Water treatment plant for the
elimination of Chromium VI
and Total Chromium
Stand n° 7 F 177
DESCRIPTION
MS has developed an innovative and single method of treatment of chromium VI and total chromium
in water from concrete batching plants and applicable to field of tanneries, surface treatment. This
simple new industry solution fitted into a skid is implemented with a reagent dosing without any
environmental nor health risk. This innovation is based on a collective consciousness and awareness
of this public health issue.
OPERATING PRINCIPLE
The reduction of chromium VI to chromium III is carried out at our competitors via the addition of
sodium bisulphite or Iron 0. The advantages of the use of ascorbic acid are as follows:
■ A low cost of consumables (0.5 to 1 € / m3 of treated effluent).
■ A very short contact time (< 3 min) (more than 5 min for the Iron 0).
■ No water pollution (sodium bisulphite releases sulfate and sulfur dioxide in water).
TECHNICAL DESIGN
That new solution which is fitted into skid, is implemented with a reagent dosing without any
environmental nor health risk. With a single treatment process, only this method is adapted to
the context of concrete batching plants. This innovation is based on a collective awareness, an
awareness of this public health issue (skin diseases, cancer, etc.) and a change in behavior of the
cement industry.
ECONOMY
Treatment usually used to treat chromium VI in water is reverse osmosis, ion exchange resins and
ultrafiltration. However, these methods are not feasible for the treatment of concrete laitance because
these waters have a very large amount of dissolved carbonates (> 200 g / l). This concentration will
seal resins, membranes (reverse osmosis) and filters (ultrafiltration).
OPERATION
The reduction of chromium VI to chromium III is carried out at our competitors via the addition
of sodium bisulphite or Iron 0. The advantages of the use of ascorbic acid are as follows:
■ A low cost of consumables (0.5 to 1 € / m3 of treated effluent).
■ A very short contact time (< 3 min) (more than 5 min for the Iron 0).
■ No water pollution (sodium bisulphite releases sulfate and sulfur dioxide in water).
USE
The whole plant is fitted into a 20’ or 40’ container, which is pre-assembled and pre-wired in our
workshop, ensuring a fast and easy installation and commissioning on site.
ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY
The use of ascorbic acid to reduce chromium VI in water is absolutely neutral regarding the
environment. This is an organic acid having reducing and antioxidant properties. It allows reducing
chromium VI (toxic) to chromium III (non-toxic) without making any additional pollution. Although
the oxidation of chromium III in chromium VI is impossible in the natural environment, our method
enables to trap chromium III by adsorption.

enough to withstand the lateral forces of wet concrete but to be deformable against the pressures of
expanding cured concrete to form and expansion and contraction joint.
ECONOMY
Kform allows for the continuous pouring of adjacent bays of concrete which dramatically reduces
labour costs It also removes the need for expansion joint fillers and saw cutting to the joint to seal
the joint Overall, a cost saving of 30% in the production of a 150mm deep concrete slab is easily
achievable.
OPERATION
Kform allows unskilled labour to place the formwork in position and still achieve high quality
concrete floors Its design allows for the placement to be very accurate in terms of height resulting in
super flat floors and its removable top strip achieves clean dry sealant lines.
USE
Kform being made of recycled PVC is very light and in 150mm height weighs only 3.9Kg per 3 metre
length against 3 metres of steel road form which weighs in excess of 30 Kg. this is a huge benefit for
manual handling. Also, as Kform is non-conductive of electricity and does not require steel stakes
to be driven into the ground, it removes the risk of electrocution to people working on the form work
ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY
Kform is produced from landfill diverted PVC windows that are recycled and turned into screed rails.
The saving to the environment from this point is massive and we have very good green credentials
from this point.

Revolving and openable auger cleaner
for CFA
It is known that in the CFA technology during the casting phase the auger is coming out full of
spoil and for safety reasons it is necessary to clean it to avoid debris and soil to fall from above.
The most common and effective cleaners are the rotating auger cleaners but they have the
problem that they limit the depth achievable by the rig. The product object of this invention is a
rotating auger cleaner able to open itself allowing the rig to reach the maximum depth.
