First Kocurek machine into India - Advanced Construction Technologies (P) Ltd
Late 2008 also saw us make our debut into the previously untapped Asian market with the sale of a new Volvo EC460BLC complete with 26m high reach demolition equipment incorporating our modular joint and all base machine demolition features. This company is based in Chennai, India and the Managing Director Mohan Ramanathan took great pleasure in introducing the 1st 3-piece high reach demolition equipment into India. The machine was commissioned over Christmas 2008 and went to work on its first job carrying out a prestigious job to demolish part of Mumbai International Airport and was sub-contracted from M/s Larsen & Toubro Ltd. ACT has been a pioneer in India for a number of years having introduced many demolition technologies for the first time into its marketplace including Diamond cutting, Implosion, Silent demolition and now of course High reach machines. India, by its own admission, is 20 years behind the UK and Europe in demolition techniques but with people of Mohan Ramanathan’s calibre who has a strong desire and proven track record to broach new technologies watch this space.
