Sand Processing Facility
Produced by - AdfilProject Name: Sand Processing Facility
Location: Devon, United Kingdom
Application: Hardstand
Aggregate Industries required the installation of a hard wearing external concrete pavement for a sand processing and stockpiling facility at Hillhead Quarry. The original reinforced concrete specification included two layers of steel mesh (A393) reinforcement to accommodate mobile plant operations. A macro synthetic fibre alternative was requested to ease installation, reduce project cost and ensure service life was assured.
Outcomes:
- Reduced construction time & significant cost savings
- No reduced service life due to a chemical inert reinforcement
- H&S hazards associated with steel mesh fixing are eliminated
- Embedded CO2 reduced with 56%
