Connecticut Brothers Use Construction Waste to Supply Aggregate Products Burns Construction was established in 1957 by Ed Burns Sr. with one truck, a small crew and a focus on residential paving. Over the course of the past 53 years, Burns has experienced steady growth and today is not only still involved in residential paving, but has expanded to tackling paving projects that include airport runways and everything in between. Additionally, the company has expanded to playing a major role in utility construction, handling major projects and repair for various water and gas companies. In 1991, Burns diversified and started B.C. Sand & Gravel, located at 412 Housatonic Ave. in Bridgeport, Conn. The concept was to provide a one-stop location for trucks to drop off asphalt and concrete for recycling into a reusable aggregate product because, at the time, there was not an approved site in the Bridgeport area of Connecticut for contractors to dispose of concrete and asphalt waste products that were being removed from paving or demolition sites in Connecticut. In addition to asphalt and concrete, the site also accepts shot rock, boulders and clean fill. No organics are accepted at the site. As Burns Construction continued its growth in the utility market it faced two challenges. One, having the disposal of its own construction waste products from excavating utility lines; and two, having a consistent and reliable source of bedding sand and other aggregate materials needed for its pipeline work. So, in addition to solving the local market’s need for an asphalt and concrete recycling facility, it also was able to resolve some of its own internal needs. The site in Bridgeport that it was permitted for was very small — only 7-1/2 acres. To design a crushing screening and recycling plant and have room for stockpiling waste materials as well as finished aggregate stockpiles, along with room for a scale house, has been a challenge from the start. However, with patience and careful planning over the past 25 years, it has been able to make it work. From the wide variety of waste products that are delivered to its site, B.C. Sand & Gravel can recycle and produce an assortment of aggregate products, which it uses on its own see POWERSCREEN page 14
