Technical capabilities

We boast an unrivalled network of aggregates terminals and concrete plants across the capital that ensures that no matter how large the job, we can supply it.

 

Aggregates

Each year, we bring 7 million tonnes of high-quality aggregates into London and the Home Counties by rail and by sea from our three superquarries at Torr, Bardon Hill and Glensanda.  This is deposited at our terminal at the Isle of Grain, and delivered to our plants and depots by the most sustainable methods available, keeping road miles to an absolute minimum.

Our aggregates have been used across the capital in numerous high-profile applications, such as the rail ballast on Crossrail and in various uses across the Olympic Park.

Ready mixed concrete

Our specialist ready mixed concrete supplier in the capital - London Concrete - offers a network of 12 state-of-the-art production units, so you are never too far from a London Concrete plant.

These sites incorporate the latest advancements in plant and materials technology to ensure the highest standard in concrete quality. They supply specialist mixes designed to meet the needs of application in the most challenging of environments, including concrete mix to be placed underwater, concrete which withstands chemical abrasion and colourful concrete mixes to add aesthetic appeal to structures.
