Composting Efficiency Boosted for Civil Engineering Projects in Colombia

Background

Ingeniería de Valor de Colombia S.A.S., a well-established company in the heavy construction and civil engineering sector, manages multiple large-scale infrastructure projects across Colombia. The company generates significant volumes of organic and biodegradable waste during site development and land reclamation activities, including vegetation residues and soil materials.

Challenge

Before adopting our solution, waste management and organic material decomposition were time-consuming and labor-intensive. Traditional composting methods limited efficiency and slowed down land restoration work. The client sought a durable, efficient, and mobile composting solution that could operate effectively under Colombia’s diverse terrain and climate conditions.

Solution

Our company supplied a crawler-type compost turner, designed to aerate and mix compost piles quickly and evenly. The machine’s robust crawler chassis provided superior traction and stability on uneven ground—ideal for construction sites and rural environments.

Key features delivered:

• High-efficiency compost aeration and mixing system
• Heavy-duty crawler design for all-terrain mobility
• Low fuel consumption and easy maintenance
• Strong frame and corrosion-resistant materials for tropical climates

Results

After integrating the compost turner into their site operations:

• Processing efficiency increased by over 60%, reducing composting time significantly.
• Waste volume was minimized while producing high-quality organic fertilizer suitable for land reclamation projects.
• The company achieved cost savings in material handling and improved environmental compliance.

Customer Feedback

The team at Ingeniería de Valor de Colombia S.A.S. praised the machine’s stability, low maintenance requirements, and excellent composting performance, stating that it has become a key part of their sustainable project management strategy.
