Installation was delayed until August unfortunately due to quarantine and flight restrictions. It was completed in about 4 weeks although the conditions were not very favourable and the plant was started up successfully in mid-September. During the test runs, excellent results in terms of performance and hot-mix asphalt quality were reached.
