In Lahad Datu, Malaysia, seawater flooded the construction site twice a day, making it seem impossible to stick to the schedule. But with the help of a mobile concrete batching plant from Aimix, the team turned this challenge into a daily four-hour “golden window” of efficient work. Join us as we dive into the full story.
Building Coastal Defense in Lahad Datu: Racing Against the Tides
In early 2025, a construction team in Lahad Datu, Malaysia, faced a big challenge. They needed to build a strong embankment along the coast to protect against powerful tides. The plan was to first place large rocks, then pour concrete to make the base sturdy.
But there were two major problems. First, no roads led to the site, so ready-mix concrete trucks couldn’t get there. Second, the site was flooded twice a day by the tides, leaving only about four hours each day to work. Any delays in setting up or making concrete could cause the whole project to fall behind schedule.
Challenge: No Roads, Limited Time—But the Work Had to Move Forward
Using a traditional stationary batching plant wasn’t an option. Installing one would take too long and need infrastructure that didn’t exist at the remote site. The team needs a solution that is easy to transport, quick to set up, and ready to produce concrete without extensive groundwork.
That’s when they chose AIMIX. With our mobile batching plant, the project overcame site limitations, saved valuable time, and kept the construction on track despite the tough conditions.
AIMIX’s Solution: AJY-35 Mobile Batching Plant
The AIMIX AJY-35 mobile concrete batch plant is the perfect solution for this challenging site. It was easy to transport and could be set up quickly, saving valuable time.
However, there was one more challenge—the local workers had never used a concrete plant before. To help, we sent the skilled engineer to the site. The engineer guided the team through installation and provided hands-on training, making sure the workers could operate the plant confidently on their own.
Outcome: Fast, Easy, and Smooth Operation
The AJY-35 mobile plant is more than just equipment—it changes the entire project. The team quickly mastered its operation, allowing concrete production to start without any delays. Thanks to its compact size and efficient performance, the plant can make the most of the limited tidal window, consistently delivering high-quality concrete right by the sea.
Better yet, once the coastal reinforcement is complete, the AJY-35 plant is easily taken apart and moved to the next site, ready to work again without any downtime or hassle.
