Delivering

sustainable constructionWhat makes a construction solution sustainable?

The can depend on a number of factors:

• Type, size and scale of the construction project

• Location of the project (including transport links)

• Source and transport of constituent materials

• Specific client requirements

– Responsible sourcing

– % recycled content

– Product specification (durability, thermal performance etc)

– Carbon footprint

• Whole life performance of the product

• Cost Vs value

Aggregate solutions

High performance, quality assured materials

• Primary aggregates

• Secondary aggregates

• Recycled aggregate

Secondary aggregates

• Steel slag provides high abrasion and crushing

resistance for road applications

• Blast furnace slag increased bonding for cement

and bituminous binders

• Alternative to primary aggregates

• Low carbon

Recycled aggregates

Asphalt solutions

High performance, quality assured materials

• Hot rolled asphalt (HRA)

• Stone Mastic Asphalt (SMA)

• Asphalt with recycled content (RAP)

• Porous asphalt solutions

• Cold mix – FoamMaster

• Low temperature asphalt

•The UK’s

Sustainable asphalt

• Source of constituent materials

Alternative materials – slag aggregates

• Recycled content

Increase RAP addition

• Whole life performance

• Durability

Consider alternative mix design

A product with a high carbon footprint could be

the most sustainable choice

• ‘Off highway’ application: car parks, retail parks,

housing developments

• Fast installation over large areas

• No need for iron work or traditional drainage

• SUDs solution

• Reduce risk of flooding and standing water

• Harvest and recycle water

Asphalt SUDS solution

FoamMaster

• Application: Base and binder course, footpaths

and cycleways

• High addition of RAP (80% + addition)

• Cold mix - Low carbon footprint

• Instiu process

• Encapsulate ‘tar bound’ plannings

• EA permitted treatment process

• Reduced transport

• Cost saving innovation

Product innovation

We are leading industry trials on

behalf of the Carbon Trust

• Target temp - 125OC (35-50OC less than convential)

• Proven technology and durability

• Allows for increased RAP additon (up to 30%)

• Fuel and associated CO2 savings

• Technical specification to be launched ...

Readymix solutions

High performance, quality assured materials

• Self compacting concrete

• High strength / chemical resistant concrete

• Macro reinforced concrete

• Low carbon concrete

• Trench fill materials

Self-compacting concrete

High strength concrete

• Application: Physical / chemical environs

• Placed underwater

• Chemical resistance

• High impact

• Early strength

• Durable, long design life

Innovative, low carbon alternative to traditional

steel reinforced concrete

Reinforced concrete - Topforce

• Application: high impact floor slabs

• Removes the need for steel / steel mesh

• Reduces plastic shrinkage and cracking

• Health and safety benefits

• Saves time

• Saves money

• Low carbon (savings up 67%)

Low carbon concrete

• Application: Utilities sector

• Flowable structural

• On site application

• 100% reuse / recycling of trench arising

• Health and safety (HAVs)

• Cost savings

• Innovative partner development

Trench reinstatement - FSMR

Cement & Lime

A wide range of high quality cement and lime products

• Bulk / packed portland cement (CEM1)

• Bulk / packed portland limestone cement (CEM2)

• High purity chemcial limestone

Energy waste sector - flue gas treatment (Limbux)

Water treatment – drinking water, effluent treatment (Kalic)

Ground engineering – soil stabilsation (Limbase)

Construction – formulated building mortars (Limebond)

Carbon footprintA carbon footprint is a measure of the

impact of our activities on the environment,

specifically our greenhouse gas emissions.

We calculate and report the carbon footprint

of our products in CO2e.

A product / location specific carbon

footprint can be provided for any of our

products.
