Lintec CDP12001M Asphalt Mixing Plant selected for major water infrastructure project in Gabon
The Lintec CDP12001M Asphalt Mixing Plant helped create the road network to support a major water supply installation in Libreville, Gabon.
One of the world’s largest multinational engineering and construction companies, China Communications Construction Group Ltd., selected a Lintec CDP12001M Asphalt Mixing Plant for a major water supply project in Libreville, the capital city of Gabon. The equipment arrived in December 2022 and was fully installed and commissioned by March 2023.
The project is part of an international assistance initiative that was funded by loans of EUR 75.40 million from the African Development Bank and EUR 42 million from the Africa Growing Together Fund. Launched in Gabon in 2019, the drinking water component of the Libreville Integrated Drinking Water Supply and Sanitation Programme (PIAEPAL) was completed in June 2024.
To help complete this highly ambitious project, the Lintec CDP12001M played a crucial role in developing the transportation network and enhancing road infrastructure in the water supply areas, reinforcing the importance of the highly mobile capabilities of the asphalt mixing plant that easily facilitates movement between job sites.
Fully installed and commissioned by March 2023, the Lintec CDP12001M proves its value with quick relocation and short-term setup capabilities.
The plant produced an estimated 50,000 tons of asphalt to build a host of roads around the new water supply system. With the road-building projects spread across a wide area, the asphalt plant was required to move multiple times throughout the job, representing a key reason why China Communications Construction Group Ltd., opted for the highly mobile Lintec CDP12001M.
A spokesperson from China Communications Construction Group Ltd., said: “We are thrilled that the Lintec CDP12001M played such a pivotal role in our major water supply project in Libreville, Gabon. The selection of the Lintec CDP12001M was driven by key factors including its exceptional mobility and ease of installation which is ideal for projects such as the one in Libreville, that required quick relocation and short-term setup.”
The Lintec CDP12001M played a pivotal role in enhancing Gabon’s road network, enabling better access to clean drinking water for thousands of residents.
With a maximum capacity of 120 tons per hour, the Lintec CDP12001M can be assembled without the need for cranes or concrete foundations. The plant has been conceptualised for easy and quick set-up and dismantling. This makes the Lintec CDP12001M particularly suitable for mobilisation from one project to another.
China Communications Construction Group Ltd and Lintec & Linnhoff have a long history of partnering on key infrastructure aid projects. Between 2010 and 2022, the company purchased several asphalt mixing plants including the Lintec CSM and Lintec CSD series, that contributed to projects in several countries including China, Ethiopia, Cameroon and the Republic of Djibouti. This project marks the first time that China Communications Construction Group Ltd has purchased a model from the Lintec CDP range.
