BARDON CONCRETE HELPS TO BUILD A STRONG FACTORY FOR BISON
Bardon Concrete, part of Aggregate Industries, has undertaken one of
its biggest installations in recent years, supplying 50,000 cubic metres
of high-quality reinforced ready-mixed concrete from its Newbold Quarry
site in Burton on Trent, to build the new Bison factory in Swadlincote,
Derbyshire.
An ongoing installation for the last two years, the project will give
Bison, a leader in the design and manufacture of structural products,
one of the most advanced plants in the country.
Alan Dawson, Bardon Concrete’s plant manager at Newbold Quarry,
explains: “The factory is an impressive Italian designed spectacle
and measures over a third of a mile long.
“As a project, the factory has been a very demanding installation
using as much concrete as it would take to fill the new Wembley Stadium.
Through constant and close contact with Bison we were able to have at
any one time, as many as 12 trucks on site pouring over 300 cubic metres
of ready-mixed concrete a day. When you look at how the construction has
come together, this development has really made a positive difference
to the area.”
Now finished, the project was completed on time and to the specified
budget. |
