Dam remediation works over 16-month project for Arab Potash Company saw Bauer International overcome several challenges of terrain and environment
Bauer has carried out a project to build a 112,000 square metre cut-off wall over a length of 4.2km on one of the main dikes on the Dead Sea coast in Jordan where potassium salts are mined.
Bauer International FZE, a subsidiary of Bauer Spezialtiefbau GmbH, was commissioned by the Arab Potash Company of Jordan to build the dikes in 2018. According to a press release from Bauer, the project actually started in April 2019 and posed several challenges, one of which was that it had to be carried out in just 16 months and another the complicated logistics, mobilisation of specialist staff, harsh weather conditions, extremely salty environment and other allied factors.
Integrated cameras project images from blind spot in front of bucket to in-cab monitor for safer operations
Doosan Infracore Europe has launched the industry’s first wheeled loader ‘transparent bucket’ system, which allows operators to see blind spots in front of the bucket on the machine, using the monitor in the cab.
Wheeled loader buckets cause blind spots in the area in front of the machine and this has been considered an area of major concern in terms of safety.
According to Doosan, its new system records images in front of the wheeled loader with top and bottom front-loaded cameras and shows combined images on the cab monitor in real time using a curved projection method.
