Swindon’s new concrete plant

Quarry Products’ further expansion

Quarry Products has strengthened its presence in the ready-mixed concrete market with the opening of its seventh concrete plant located at Kendrick Trading Estate, Galton Way, Swindon.

Peter Andrew, Group Director said: “The new site will greatly enhance the geographical area in which Quarry Products operates and also expand the level of service we can provide to our customers with a mini-mix service now available from all our concrete plants. In addition, Swindon will, alongside our existing plant in Newbury, be offering 24-hour, seven-day-a-week opening on request.

“We are also aiming to further grow the business with another, larger concrete plant being planned for installation and a summer opening at Wilmington. The Wilmington plant, near Honiton in Devon, will offer a wide range of delivery vehicles provided by one of our franchisees, Adrian Clarke.

“Quarry Products is constantly looking at ways in which the business can improve environmentally.

New plant installations are more efficient and have improved air filtering technology. We are keen to adopt carbon capture once product safety standards in the UK have been established and we will continue to explore the increased use of greener, cementitious materials such as GGBS.”

Carbon capture embeds CO2 within concrete permanently, providing businesses with carbon credits. GBBS is a cement-like by-product of blast furnaces which reduces the demand for raw materials in concrete manufacture.

The Swindon site is registered with the Quality Scheme for Ready-Mixed Concrete (QSRMC) and is able to provide high-quality concrete and screed to both small and large customers with product available for collection or delivery using 4m³, 6m³ and 8m³ sized vehicles.
