Mobile Crushing and Screening for Renewable Energy Projects
On-site aggregate production for wind farms and solar developmentsEco-Match provides mobile crushing and screening services for renewable energy and associated infrastructure projects across Southern Africa.
Wind farms and solar developments often require significant volumes of aggregate for access roads, internal road networks, hardstands, laydown areas and other construction infrastructure. Depending on the project location and the availability of suitable source material, on-site crushing and screening can provide a practical way to produce the required aggregate close to where it will be used.
Eco-Match works with EPC contractors, civil engineering contractors and project teams to assess material availability, aggregate specifications, production volumes and project schedules before establishing a suitable processing solution.
Crushing and screening in remote project locations
Where suitable raw material is available on or near the project, mobile crushing and screening can reduce the need to transport unprocessed material elsewhere for processing or to bring all finished aggregate in from external suppliers. The potential logistical benefits depend on source suitability, haul distances, material volumes and the project's overall construction plan.
Our approach is to understand the project's aggregate demand and determine whether on-site processing can support the required production programme.
Aggregate products for renewable energy infrastructure
Depending on the available material and the project specification, Eco-Match can process aggregates for applications including:
- Wind farm access and internal roads
- Solar park access roads and internal infrastructure
- Hardstands and construction platforms
- Laydown areas and other infrastructure works
- Other specified road and civil construction applications
The required aggregate products and processing configuration are determined by the project specification and the characteristics of the source material. Required grading and material properties should be confirmed through the applicable testing and approval process.
Eco-Match has delivered mobile crushing and screening services on major renewable energy developments in South Africa.
OYA Energy Wind Farm, Northern Cape
Seriti Green Ummbila Emoyeni Wind Farm, Mpumalanga
These projects demonstrate our experience delivering substantial aggregate volumes in renewable energy construction environments, including remote locations and projects with specific material and programme requirements.
Working with EPC and civil contractors
Eco-Match understands that crushing and screening is one component of a much larger construction programme. Our team considers the expected aggregate demand, feed material, product requirements, site access and production period when assessing a project.
We engage with the appointed contractor to understand the required scope and determine whether our mobile crushing and screening services are appropriate for the project.
If your wind farm, solar project or associated infrastructure development has suitable source material available, Eco-Match can assess the potential for on-site crushing and screening. When contacting us, please include the project location, anticipated tonnages, required aggregate products, source material details and expected construction programme.
