In recent years, Honduras has experienced continuous growth in residential housing, small commercial buildings, and infrastructure construction. Many construction projects are distributed across different regions, often facing challenges such as:
- Limited access to ready-mix concrete plants
- High transportation costs for fresh concrete
- Unstable supply schedules and quality fluctuations
- Increasing labor costs and reliance on skilled workers
For this project, the customer in Honduras was mainly engaged in on-site concrete works, including foundations, slabs, and small structural elements. Their key requirement was not simply to “mix concrete”, but to achieve independent, flexible, and cost-controlled concrete production directly at the construction site.
Under these conditions, traditional solutions such as outsourcing ready-mix concrete or installing a small stationary batching plant were either too costly, inefficient, or inflexible. This created a strong demand for a mobile, integrated concrete production solution capable of adapting to varying job sites.
