Recycling

Recycling is a key operation in the modern-day construction industry and in recent years we have benefitted from our association with WRAP (Waste Resources Action Program).

Waste demolition and excavation materials are processed to produce aggregates for re-use in our projects. We can recycle materials off site at one of our waste recycling depots or on site when site programs and space permit. Aggregates are produced in accordance with protocols to ensure that they achieve quality requirements and cease to be classified as waste.

Waste soils are also recovered to production protocols whenever possible at one of our waste recovery sites.

On all projects we produce site waste returns to assist in compliance of site waste management plan targets. Early project involvement on some schemes allows us to assist in compiling the site waste management plan.

We are licensed to operate the latest efficient recycling and waste recovery plant including items listed below.

• Jaw crushers
• Impact crushers
• Chieftain 1400 and 1800 screens
• Warrior 1800 finger screens
• Commander 1400 screens
• Trommels
• Powergrids

These are all supplemented by the latest loading shovels, hydraulic excavators ranging from 20t to 50t, dozers and dump trucks. Within each of our six recycling centres are weighbridges, wheel washes and dust suppression units which as always support our intention to limit our impact upon the environment.
