Welcome

Based in the Asturias coal mining region of northern Spain, Emcor has 30 years of experience in the manufacture and supply of machines and consumables to the underground sector. Equipment from Emcor has helped drive the Spanish tunnelling industry to its present position as the most efficient in the world.

Whether the call is for production machines, material transport, rock support or environmental improvement, Emcor has the answer.

Emcor was set up in 1978 at Oviedo in northern Spain to supply equipment and material for underground coal mining. The company introduced innovative systems that helped to improve productivity, both in the local Asturias mines and in the rest of Spain, and also supplied equipment to South American mines.

The professional team that grew out of this work has allowed Emcor to expand, and it now has four well-defined business units serving the mining, tunnelling and civil engineering, railway, and environmental sectors.

A variety of TH steel arches and profiles are available to norm DIN 21544, together with welded joint plates, clamps and bolts. Metal supports in I and U, profiles HEB, IPN and UPN are also supplied. Bernold plate is delivered flat, or rolled to customer’s requirements.

Shotcrete fibre to improve the mechanical properties of concrete is supplied as glued or loose type in biodegradable bags of 20 kg or large bags of 1,000 kg. The addition of steel fibre to shotcrete helps control cracking, resists shrinkage stresses, and increases durability.
