In March 2025, we successfully commissioned the AJY60 Mobile Concrete Batching Plant for a real estate contractor in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. This installation marked a critical step in addressing the contractor’s challenges of sourcing commercial ready-mix concrete and meeting tight project deadlines. Today, the mobile plant operates seamlessly, delivering high-efficiency batching for housing developments.
Client Background and Key Challenges
The client is a real estate contractor based in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia’s fast-growing capital where urban development is accelerating rapidly. As demand for both residential and commercial projects surges, the contractor faced mounting pressure to deliver on tight schedules. However, the local construction environment posed several challenges.
Limited Local SupplyCommercial ready-mix concrete was difficult to procure locally, leading to delays and cost overruns.
Outdated InfrastructureThe contractor’s existing batching plant struggled with slow cycles, frequent downtime, and an inability to scale production.
Time SensitivityGrowing demand for housing required faster batching processes to avoid penalties for delayed project completion.
Client’s Objectives and Requirements
The client needed a high-capacity, mobile solution to support multiple ongoing real estate projects without relying on third-party suppliers. Their goal was to:
- Speed up batching cycles
- Maintain a consistent concrete supply
- Ensure all construction timelines were met
Reliability, mobility, and automation were key priorities for the client when evaluating potential solutions.
