Project Overview

Gamuda Laing O'Rourke, aiming to enhance efficiency, engaged utilising a high-capacity, 14 cubic metre (14,000 litre) bin with a 25-ton capacity alongside a freestanding gantry. This solution, known as BulkX with a Discharge Gantry, significantly improves safety and efficiency by enabling direct truck loading without the need for temporary loading areas. The process involves four main steps: loading waste into BulkX, crane lifting to the discharge gantry, safe discharge into the truck, and flexibility in gantry positioning to accommodate project needs.

This system not only reduces machinery wear and tear but also ensures controlled waste movement, exemplifying a significant advancement in construction and waste management practices.
