Lafarge Canada Inc. engaged AMIX in the procurement of a grout mixing unit to improve placement of Duratough grout and provide a solution to unique paving challenges.

Lafarge construction companies provide complete highway construction services for commercial, residential, airport, municipal and highway projects in Western Canada and the Western United States.

The need

Lafarge construction needed a system that would provide a cost-effective alternative to concrete, where construction speed and traffic application are factors.

AGP-Typhoon Fully Automated Mobile High Transparency Colloidal Mixer

• High efficiency
• Fully automated
• Easy to maintain
• High quality control
• Easy to operate
• Self-cleaning
• Low waste
• Compact

The solution

AMIX Systems provided a conceptual design and built a fully automated small-scale high-shear colloidal slurry plant. The AGP-Typhoon is a modular design that was mounted on a trailer for easy mobility and access to project sites. The AGP-Typhoon successfully provides a more robust, reliable and faster method of pavement repair, reducing downtime on road and highway projects.

More Accessible
AMIX Grout Plant (AGP) is simple to operate, low maintenance, compact having a low carbon footprint, highly mobile and easily accessible to site.
More Reliable
The AMIX Grout Plant (AGP) allowed Lafarge to quickly mobilize and make repairs quickly reducing traffic and delays.
More Efficient
AMIX Grout Plant (AGP) required little or no operator intervention, minimal clean up, no waste while producing high quality grout mixes within customer specifications.
