HYDRAULICS FW Bau, the construction company based in Salzhemmendorf in Germany, has used a Doosan DX255LC excavator to dismantle a concrete tank at a sewage treatment plant at Malente in Schleswig-Holstein. This is not the only project where the company is putting its trust in Doosan excavators. Since the DX255LC, the company’s first Doosan excavator, went into operation in April 2018, FW Bau has purchased four more Doosan excavators from Authorised Doosan Dealer, Atlas Hannover Baumaschinen GmbH & Co. According to Felix Wessel, the owner and managing director of FW Bau, the combination of the reliable, efficient Doosan machines and a strongly customer and solution-oriented dealer in Atlas Hannover Baumaschinen, has given FW Bau the security the company needs in carrying out its everyday business. Faster than expected In dismantllng the tank at the Malente sewage treatment plant, the Doosan DX255LC impressively demonstrated its efficiency and strength. Originally, it was planned it would take three weeks to demolish a tank like this with a height of 14 m and a diameter of 14 m, including the processing of the roughly 200 m 3 of demolished concrete and around 800 m? of stone that was produced by the work. Felix Wessel’s company was able to complete the project in just two weeks. One of the reasons was the trouble-free operation of the construction machinery used. “I can fully rely on the Doosan machines, which is an important factor for me as a medium-sized contractor,” Felix explains. While the 25 tonne DX255LC excavator was demolishing and processing material with the help of a jaw crusher, a Doosan 14 tonne DX140LCR-5 excavator was used to load it into FW Bau’s own trucks. Complete package FW Bau has had a partnership with Atlas Hannover Baumaschinen for many years and after the company hired a Doosan excavator for the first time in 2017, Wessel decided in favour of Doosan machines for future machine purchases that began in April 2018 with the DX255LC. Felix adds: “From today’s perspective, it was exactly the right decision. Bernd Desenberg at Atlas Hannover Baumaschinen recommended the Doosan to me and the complete package consisting of the Doosan machine and the dealer as a service partner has proven itself. So good that I have now bought four more Doosan machines from Atlas Hannover.” In addition to the FW Bau demolition ahead of time with Doosan excavators Our Purpose The British Fluid Power Association is the voice of a billion-pound industry at the heart of the UK’s manufacturing capability.
