Aggregates to Pan Borneo Highway project in Malaysia

M‌alaysian-based quarrying and asphalt company (Asas Nikmat Sdn Bhd, ANSB) has selected a 350 t/h Terex MPS plant to supply steady, reliable aggregates for the Pan Borneo Highway Project in Malaysia. The Pan Borneo Highway (PBHS) is Malaysia’s biggest road project that spans over 2000 km, connecting two East Malaysian states together, Sarawak and Sabah. Once complete, the PBHS will establish a transportation backbone and deliver significant economic benefits to the region.

Construction of such a major infrastructure project relies on securing a reliable supply of aggregates of suitable quality. ANSB, one of the local aggregate producers selected for the job, turned to Terex MPS for a solution that would meet their needs. “We required a plant that could provide a large output capacity while having the flexibility in producing different types of aggregates, based on the project’s demand,” said Andrew Wah, Director at Asas Nikmat Sdn Bhd.

The solution was a 350 t/h Terex MPS plant, consisting of a ST47 Single Toggle Jaw Crusher that features large gape feed openings, high production and low operating costs. These rugged machines are manufactured with heavy duty parts for constant operation and long life. As well as this, the plant features three cones, G30 Cone Crusher (which suited the project’s need to be able to take in large lump of 345 mm from the 6 by 9-inch tunnel), J35 Cone, and TC1000 Cone. Together this equipment provides a robust, reliable solution for feeding 700 mm sandstone at approximately 350 t/h to produce -50 + 0 aggregates, to be used for road base throughout the highway project. It has been operating onsite for two years and will continue to perform for many years until the project has been completed.

“The equipment is performing above our expectations, delivering more capacity, better shaped product and requiring less maintenance,” continued Andrew. “The plant was optimised to meet our specifications while also achieving the robust safety, functionality and performance standards needed for our jobsite. The result is a plant that is operating effectively, with minimal downtime.”
