MACC starts crushing 111,000 tonnes of concrete rubble in Rafah for UNDP

MACC has started Package 4 of UNDP's Rubble Removal from the Gaza Strip programme in Rafah: preparing a 15,000 m² crushing pad and crushing 111,000 tonnes of concrete rubble into 10–80 mm aggregate.

In April 2021 MACC started site preparation and crushing of concrete rubble in Rafah under Package 4 of UNDP's Rubble Removal from the Gaza Strip programme (ITB-0000144080). The contract covers crushing 111,000 tonnes of war debris into graded aggregate from 10 to 80 mm.

MACC is preparing a 15,000 m² crushing and storage pad with cut and fill, compaction to 95%, polyethylene sheeting and a 25 cm crushed-aggregate layer. Rubble is pre-screened on an 8 cm bar sieve and crushed in a mobile jaw crushing plant of at least 150 t/h with a magnetic separator, removing reinforcing steel and plastics, with dust suppression throughout.

The crushed material is stockpiled to 6–8 m, weighed at the nearby dump-site weighbridge and tested at two laboratories. Site staff receive UXO awareness training, with UXO risk insurance and coordination with UNMAS. MACC previously crushed rubble in Rafah for UNDP in 2016 and managed debris after earlier conflicts.
