Djibouti is a piece of 23000 km2 land in the Horn of Africa. Bordering with Somalia, Ethiopia, Eritrea, the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. Close to Yemen and Saudi Arabia, the country is also strategically located near some of the world's busiest shipping lanes, controlling access to the Red Sea and Indian Ocean and serving as a key shipment refuelling centre and as principal import export maritime port to neighbouring Ethiopia. Host to a number of foreign military bases, today Djibouti is a developing multi-ethnic commercial hub requiring massive infrastructure investment to be able to thrive, road building demand being on the rise across the land.

The company is in urgent need of a batch asphalt plant as the project delivery time is short. The production site is located 150 km inland at five hours drive from Djibouti city in an area with no roads ad difficult to get to. Following careful consideration, MARINI INDIA BEST BATCH 2000 with 160 t/h capacity proves to be the winning choice to meet all the customer requirements.

Marini India Best batch is compact and offers simplified logistics while executing the laying operations, in addition it comes in containerized modules, making it easy to transfer in a simple and quick manner to the most remote site, and each module is pre-cabled, making is easy to assemble and dismantle in all conditions. When the cusotmer is requesting a bitumen melter as part of the project specification, MARINI MAKINA Turkey joins the team and the final solution is served. In fact, in a world area where bitumen is made available only in barrels, this is a key aspect of any installation. Not to mention local contractor's Italian Holding, who’s been helicopter viewing the whole installation via Marini Headquartes in Italy.
