Site cleared by Doosan excavators
A fleet of Doosan excavators working with large breakers has been used by the company, Excavaciones Gaby, to clear space for a new site for building work in the centre of the city of Santander in Spain.
"The work carried out required excavation, emptying and removal of materials for the future construction of subsidized housing, promoted by the Santander City Council. This entailed removing materials to a fair depth for the creation of underground garage space and much of the work involved the removal of quite hard rock,” said Gabriel González, President of Excavaciones Gaby. "The task of removing rock and soil from between buildings in the centre of Santander, in the middle of Alta Street and in front of the Cantabrian Parliament, began with drilling work on the very hard and rocky soil terrain we found."
Two Doosan DX340LC-5 excavators with breakers and a Doosan DX255-3 were used for the clearance work after the drilling and helped to remove about 50,000 cubic metres of material from the site. González said the machines were chosen for the job because of their sheer grunt, as well as their large hammers and good fuel efficiency. Excavaciones Gaby currently owns eight Doosan crawler and wheeled excavators including DX85R-3, DX225LC-3, DX255LC-3 and DX340LC-5 models.
