 Mechanized Construction and Farming
JBL is the official sole distributor of Komatsu Limited, Japan - one of the
leading manufacturers of the world for earthmoving and mining equipment. Komatsu
machines are used for mining, land cultivation, expansion of road networks, building
dams, rehabilitating and constructing canals for irrigation systems, quarrying
for cement plants, developing oil fields, etc. A number of construction and
farming projects were funded under Japanese
grants and credits. Keeping in view the reliability and range of earth moving machinery
offered by Komatsu, most of the foreign and local contractors rely on them for major
construction work. Ventures like Karakoram Highway, all national motorways and reservoirs
like Khanpur, Simly, Hub, Satpara, Mangla Raising and Mirani Dams are some prestigious
examples of projects of national importance where Komatsu equipment was used. Currently,
Komatsu equipment is being used for the Neelum-Jhelum Hydro Power Project, the construction
of Kathchi Canal and Rehabilitation of Taunsa Barrage.
 P&M also facilitated the Ministry of Communications to establish a Construction
Machinery Training Institute - CMTI (now known as the Construction Technology Training Institute
- CTTI) in Islamabad. The institute is imparting operational and maintenance
training of heavy earth moving equipment to local and foreign students, as well as
to public and private sector organizations.
