Recycled Vs Natural Aggregate - Everything Contractors Need To Know - //

Aggregates are key components in the construction industry. No matter the scale of your project, whether you’re building bridges and roads or paving driveways or landscaping, you’ll probably need to use aggregates such as natural gravel, sand, or stone chippings.

The Role of Sand in Construction Projects - //

Do you remember the joy of building sandcastles on the beach or in a sandpit as a child? This childhood pastime contains a vital element of civil engineering. Although each grain of sand often measures no more than 0.02mm, it’s a key ingredient of every building structure around us.

4 Benefits of Using Recycled Aggregates in Construction - //

Every construction site has two things in common - construction waste and aggregates. Aggregates are an extremely vital component in civil engineering projects, whether for drainage, protecting pipes, or even making concrete or asphalt for surface dressing. If you’re looking to reduce your carbon footprint and sustainably utilise resources, using recycled aggregate products might be the best solution. Similarly, proper construction waste disposal and management are integral to your project’s success and the reduction of overall environmental pollution.

How to Choose the Right Construction Vehicle - //

Heavy machinery and equipment are essential to construction projects. For instance, you need bulldozers to push, dig or excavate soil and other materials on the site. Similarly, you need backhoes for digging trenches and ditches, and front loaders to assist in removing demolition waste and aggregates across the site. Contractors are often required to hire big construction vehicles but choosing the right provider is important to ensure the success of your project completion. Choosing the right vehicle will aid proper construction waste recycling and allow for an uninterrupted aggregate and building material supply chain.

Improve Your Construction Waste Management Plan in 2025 - //

The construction industry, including excavation and demolition, produces three times more waste than the commercial or industrial sectors. The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs notes that 62% of waste in the UK is generated by the construction industry. Hence, it’s critical for construction companies to have a proper construction waste management plan in place. This plan not only helps reduce a company’s carbon footprint but also helps save thousands of pounds by salvaging or reusing material through recycling.
