Bhachau weighbridges for salt, stone and Samakhiali freight.
Bhachau is the taluka town of the Vagad region in eastern Kutch, rebuilt after the 2001 earthquake. Salt works spread across the flat land towards the Little Rann and the Surajbari creek, the Samakhiali junction in the taluka joins the highways and the railway line that carry cargo between the Kutch ports and mainland Gujarat, and stone crushers and building-material suppliers serve the busy construction work across Kutch. Symphony supplies weighbridges, truck scales and dharam kanta (धर्म कांटा) across Bhachau taluka, including Samakhiali.
A salt works in Bhachau taluka usually needs a 60–80 MT, 16 m concrete (RCC) weighbridge (dharam kanta) so loaded salt trucks are weighed the moment they leave the pans; a stone crusher or aggregate supplier 80–100 MT on 12–16 m in concrete (RCC); a transport yard near Samakhiali 60–80 MT on 18 m. Symphony builds it in Ahmedabad and dispatches it about 2 weeks after a cleared order with PO.
Draining salt and zone V ground both shape the weighbridge.
- Built for zone VFoundation, ramps and cabin designed by the client's structural engineer to IS 1893.
- One figure for draining saltEach salt truck weighed at the pans, with the time of weighing on the SMFW slip.
- Headroom for stone tippers80–100 MT in concrete (RCC) for short, heavy aggregate loads.
Who needs one in Bhachau: Salt works and salt traders towards the Little Rann and the Surajbari creek; transport yards, warehouses and factories along the highways around the Samakhiali junction; stone crushers, aggregate and building-material suppliers; and the cotton, castor and cumin farms of Vagad.
Also called a dharam kanta (धर्म कांटा), truck scale or weigh bridge. We also serve Samakhiali, Surajbari, Chirai.
Salt works, crushers, transport yards across Bhachau taluka.
Salt works
Freshly harvested salt keeps draining brine in the truck, so the buyer's weight can be lower than the dispatch weight.
Our setup: A 60–80 MT, 16 m concrete (RCC) weighbridge at the pans, with the time of weighing on every SMFW slip.
Stone crushers and aggregate suppliers
Short, very heavy tippers for construction work across Kutch, shedding grit on every trip.
Our setup: An 80–100 MT, 12–16 m concrete (RCC) weighbridge, with the gaps swept every shift.
Transport yards around Samakhiali
Multi-axle trailers carry port cargo between Kutch and mainland Gujarat.
Our setup: A 60–80 MT, 18 m weighbridge that takes the whole trailer in one weighing.

Design for the earthquake zone, weigh salt the moment it leaves.
Bhachau weighs heavy, gritty cargo on ground that asks for careful civil work. Start with the ground: the taluka lies in seismic zone V under IS 1893, so the weighbridge foundation, the approach ramps and the operator cabin should be designed by the client's structural engineer to the earthquake code (IS 1893) and built on firm, well-compacted soil, with the reinforcement detailed as the design calls for. Then the salt: freshly harvested salt still holds brine, and it keeps draining in the truck, so a load weighed at the pans can weigh less when it reaches a refinery or a port. A weighbridge at the salt works, with the time of weighing, vehicle number, party and net weight on every SMFW slip, gives both sides one agreed figure to settle any shortage against. A concrete (RCC) platform, with a 25-year structural warranty on the RCC (T&C), resists brine and salt dust better than painted steel, and IP67/IP68 load cells with a sealed junction box keep the readings steady. Stone and aggregate tippers are short but very heavy, and they shed grit on every trip, so choose capacity for the heaviest loaded tipper, keep the gaps around the platform swept, and check the approach ramps for wear. Highway transport yards around Samakhiali weigh multi-axle trailers, for which an 18 m platform takes the whole vehicle in one weighing. Kutch summers are very hot and dusty: give the indicator and printer a shaded, closed cabin. Symphony gives stamping support for Legal Metrology verification.

Structural design to stamping support: a Bhachau weighbridge for Vagad.
Six steps for your project in Bhachau. Most of the waiting is the foundation curing, so the drawing comes first.
- 1 · Your traffic in BhachauTell us the heaviest vehicle you weigh (here, typically salt tippers and trucks), the space at the gate and the daily count. An engineer replies within one working day.
- 2 · Size and quotationOur usual starting point (salt works): 60–80 MT, 16 m weighbridge, Concrete (RCC) or steel-cum-RCC. The quotation comes with the foundation drawing.
- 3 · Foundation on siteYour civil contractor builds the concrete pedestals to our drawing; we can check the levels before the weighbridge arrives.
- 4 · Fabrication and dispatchBuilt and tested in our Ahmedabad workshop; dispatch in about 2 weeks from a commercially cleared order with PO, then delivered and placed on your foundation.
- 5 · Installation and calibrationWeighbridge placed, load cells and indicator connected and calibrated, slip printing set up, and Legal Metrology verification supported.
- 6 · AMC and serviceAMC, breakdown visits, calibration and annual re-verification support from our technical desk, so the weighbridge stays accurate for years.
