Mexican construction giant Ingeniero Civiles Associados is using five Fintec track-mounted mobile crushers to aid in the construction of a key highway project to link Queretaro with Irapuato in the centre of the country. The project forms a key part of an infrastructure upgrading programme that will cost in the region of US$72 million and bring faster transport connections to the central part of Mexico.

The road will help boost the economy in the State of Guanajuato by improving transport links to Mexico's major cities and to the US.

The equipment comprises three Fintec 1080 cone crushers, a Fintec 1107 jaw crusher and a 325 Sandvik UJ440 model. These machines were selected as the firm recognised that it would need to move the crushers with the rest of the equipment being used on the project so as to minimise haulage distances and reduce costs.

The first of the new crushers, a Fintec 1107 jaw and a Fintec 1080 cone type are working together to produce the materials required. Using local basalt the 1107 produces material sizes including 508-609.6mm and 139.7-152.4mm fractions. These are transferred to the 1080 cone which produces fractions including 139.7-152.4mm down to 19mm and 9.65mm and fines, as required, with all of the materials being used in the production of asphalt on the Queretaro to Irapuato highway project with none left over for resale.
