    Agg-Pro adds Arjes Impaktor dealership: shredder fleet implications for UK recyclers

    First reported on The Construction Index

    30 Second Briefing

    Agg-Pro has been appointed exclusive dealer for Arjes Impaktor GmbH across England, Scotland and Wales, adding five twin-shaft, slow-speed shredders for wood and green waste, stumps, stone and concrete, demolition debris, municipal and industrial waste, tyres and scrap metal, with two further models in development. The range includes the Impaktor 250 and Impaktor 350, conceived and produced by founder Norbert Hammel, who built the first twin-shaft slow-speed shredder in 1989. For UK recyclers and demolition contractors, this expands Agg-Pro’s existing McCloskey, Jonsson, GIPO, McCloskey Environmental and Terracon offering following its SMT/Volvo-backed takeover 18 months ago.

    Technical Brief

    • Impaktor units are configured to handle both mineral (stone, concrete) and ductile (tyres, scrap) feedstocks.
    • Arjes machines are positioned to treat municipal and industrial waste where variable feed grading is expected.

    Our Take

    With Agg-Pro already aligned to McCloskey International and Volvo via SMT, adding Arjes Impaktor gives UK customers a more complete in-house route from primary crushing through to slow-speed shredding, which can simplify service contracts and fleet standardisation across England, Scotland and Wales.

    In our Infrastructure coverage, there are relatively few product stories that add five existing machine models plus two in development at once, suggesting this dealership materially broadens Agg-Pro’s offering rather than being a marginal line addition.

    The focus on twin-shaft, slow-speed shredders positions Arjes Impaktor as a complementary fit to McCloskey Environmental’s higher-speed equipment, which is likely to appeal to C&D recyclers looking to handle both bulky feedstock reduction and downstream sizing with a single supplier group.

    Strabag’s Pfaffensteig Tunnel contract: design and delivery notes for rail engineers

    Strabag and Group company Züblin have secured the design-and-build structural works for the ABS Gäubahn Nord/Pfaffensteig Tunnel in south-west Germany, centred on an 11km twin-bore rail tunnel linking Stuttgart Airport station directly to the Gäubahn line towards Switzerland. About 9.8km will be driven by two TBMs, with conventional tunnelling for the A8 motorway undercrossing and airport connection, plus a 240m cut-and-cover section, retaining structures, railway underpasses and a grade-separated crossing. A 3km surface section will be upgraded and partially realigned for 200km/h operation, delivered under an integrated project delivery model with Ed. Züblin, Wayss & Freytag and Strabag AG sharing tunnelling, structural and earthworks packages.

    National Grid TBM under the Thames: tunnelling design and risk notes for engineers

    A 271.5‑tonne Herrenknecht Mixshield TBM, Caroline, has started driving a 2.2km electricity cable tunnel with a 4m internal diameter beneath the River Thames in Essex for National Grid’s Grain to Tilbury project, delivered by the Ferrovial BEMO joint venture. The drive will pass through variable Thames estuary ground conditions between 35m‑deep launch and reception shafts of 15m and 12m diameter, with tunnelling continuing into 2026 and overall scheme completion targeted for 2029. The new tunnel will replace the 1969 Thames Cable Tunnel and carry new high‑voltage circuits between Grain and Tilbury substations.

    Panama Canal Mixshield undercrossing: design and tunnelling lessons for engineers

    A 13.46m diameter Herrenknecht Mixshield TBM has broken through into the future Balboa station on Panama Metro Line 3 after completing the first-ever TBM undercrossing of the Panama Canal at depths exceeding 60m below sea level. The 5,600kW, 26,616kNm machine, fitted with an accessible cutterhead and more than 4,500 sensors linked via the Herrenknecht.Connected platform, has achieved peak advance of 150 segment rings (about 300m) per month through mixed sandstone, tuff, breccias and basalt. Around 1.5km of the 4.5km twin-track tunnel remains to final breakthrough.
