Sustainable solutions
As the UK market leader in GGBS (Ground Granulated Blast-furnace Slag), we can offer concrete mixes that significantly reduce the use of Portland cement, resulting in a substantial reduction in carbon emissions. Our on-site batching plants are also equipped with water recycling systems to reclaim water and aggregate from truck mixer washing, plant cleaning, and returned concrete. Additionally, we implement measures to minimise dust and noise pollution, including full plant cladding when necessary.
Efficient, Flexible, and Safe Operations
We pride ourselves on delivering fast, flexible solutions for projects across the country. Our fleet of over 20 on-site batching plants can be mobilised quickly, typically within a week, depending on the plant size. Each plant is operated by our experienced, fully trained staff, ensuring the highest of safety and quality standards, consistent with those of our static operations. Our plants can offer a range of wet batch production capacities, stretching from 60 – 150 m3 per hour, giving us the ability to meet a wide array of project scales and timelines.
