Case Study: TTM GLB2000 Asphalt Mixing Plant Commissioned in Russia
In 2019 TTM successfully concluded a turnkey contract by delivering and commissioning a customized GLB2000 asphalt mixing plant for a customer engaged in road construction in Russia.
This project served as one of TTM's initial benchmark projects in the Russian market and was a demonstration of the equipment's adaptability to local working conditions and the efficiency of TTM's on-site deployment service. Since then, the project has been used by TTM as a typical reference in expanding into the CIS regional market.
Project Background: Fast-Launch Asphalt Equipment for Tight Road Projects
The Russian client was undertaking multiple local municipal road renovation and highway maintenance projects. It required a set of asphalt mixing equipment that could go into production quickly, deliver stable output, and fit flexible site arrangements. Conventional asphalt mixing plants rely on complex reinforced concrete foundations, which involve long civil construction cycles and high upfront costs, and could not match the client’s tight project schedule. After evaluating solutions from several suppliers, the client chose TTM to develop a custom configuration based on its actual construction needs.
Customized Solution: Modular Design Cuts Installation Time and Startup Cost
Inresponse to their client's urgent installation and commissioning requirement, TTM reworked the GLB2000 asphalt mixing plant through structural, electrical system, and modular layout improvements:
1. Steel Structure without Foundation
The principal machinery features a built-in steel structure base, which eliminates the need for tedious foundation construction at the spot. By means o of this design, pre-project civil engineering works are significantly reduced and initial client investment is lowered.
2. Design with Entirely Modular Components
Each fundamental functional unit will go through assembly and factory testing stage as a complete set of components and then being able to get connected very rapidly at the final installation point. The advantages of such approach, besides, are that site assembly of parts would be a less complex job, and the overall time frame for deployment would be considerably minimized.
3. Electrical Plug-In for Quick Connection
Circuits are equipped with ready-to-connect plug devices that eliminate the necessity for on-the-spot wiring, thereby reducing both installation duration and circuit malfunction chances during debugging.
On-Site Delivery and Operation Results
The client received the whole installation process from TTM engineers who were accompanied with all professional on-site service experts. Together with the help of the client side, the machine finished all installation and commissioning within short timeframe and easily got into the production stage. After a short period of production, the GLB2000 asphalt mixing plant could reach an output of about 200 tons of asphalt daily. The quality and proportions of produced asphalt mixture strictly followed the requirements of the client's formula and ensured that the client’s road construction projects were carried out efficiently and steadily. Moreover, TTM on-site team offered operation and maintenance training that was comprehensive to client’s operating personnel thereby not only assisting the on-site staff to learn and understand better about the operation of the equipment and daily maintenance but also helping guaranteeing the long-term stability of the operation after delivery.
Client Feedback
The client gave high praise for this cooperation. From the installation and commissioning speed, to the stability of equipment production, and the professionalism of on-site guidance, all links exceeded the client’s initial expectations. The smooth operation of this project also laid a solid foundation for TTM to further develop the Russian and surrounding regional markets.
