Maximising productivity

The Rapid rise in concrete construction in Oman is driving investment in quarrying equipment as operators step up aggregate production to meet demand Oman's network of wadis (dry channels that only flood with water during heavy rain) provide near perfect quarrying conditions. The floodwater travelling at up to 30km/h often deposits similarly sized, unconsolidated silt, sand or rock in the channels that can be quarried easily using wheeled loaders.
