Blackwell purchased the bespoke concrete mixer trucks for the £500m Clyde Wind Farm project. With more than 150 turbine needed to be erected around Abington and Moffat in Scotland, this ranks as Europe’s largest onshore wind farm.
The customised Bell B30 ADT’s, fitted with self powered mixer units have the job of delivering 21,000 m3 of site batched concrete.
The adaptation has been undertaken so that the original skip body can be readily interchanged with the mixer unit, Bell B30’s were chosen as the base vehicle as they exert a low ground pressure.
Utranazz, the concrete equipment specialist, have designed and supplied the custom-made 6m3 demountable concrete mixers.
Blackwell also bought a mobile concrete batching, manufactured by Rapid International. It is the first of it’s kind to be purchased by a contractor and is designed to produce consistent high output, quality concrete on even the most remote of sites.
