Delivering
sustainable constructionWhat makes a construction solution sustainable?
The can depend on a number of factors:
• Type, size and scale of the construction project
• Location of the project (including transport links)
• Source and transport of constituent materials
• Specific client requirements
– Responsible sourcing
– % recycled content
– Product specification (durability, thermal performance etc)
– Carbon footprint
• Whole life performance of the product
• Cost Vs value
Aggregate solutions
High performance, quality assured materials
• Primary aggregates
• Secondary aggregates
• Recycled aggregate
Secondary aggregates
• Steel slag provides high abrasion and crushing
resistance for road applications
• Blast furnace slag increased bonding for cement
and bituminous binders
• Alternative to primary aggregates
• Low carbon
Recycled aggregates
Asphalt solutions
High performance, quality assured materials
• Hot rolled asphalt (HRA)
• Stone Mastic Asphalt (SMA)
• Asphalt with recycled content (RAP)
• Porous asphalt solutions
• Cold mix – FoamMaster
• Low temperature asphalt
•The UK’s
Sustainable asphalt
• Source of constituent materials
Alternative materials – slag aggregates
• Recycled content
Increase RAP addition
• Whole life performance
• Durability
Consider alternative mix design
A product with a high carbon footprint could be
the most sustainable choice
• ‘Off highway’ application: car parks, retail parks,
housing developments
• Fast installation over large areas
• No need for iron work or traditional drainage
• SUDs solution
• Reduce risk of flooding and standing water
• Harvest and recycle water
Asphalt SUDS solution
FoamMaster
• Application: Base and binder course, footpaths
and cycleways
• High addition of RAP (80% + addition)
• Cold mix - Low carbon footprint
• Instiu process
• Encapsulate ‘tar bound’ plannings
• EA permitted treatment process
• Reduced transport
• Cost saving innovation
Product innovation
We are leading industry trials on
behalf of the Carbon Trust
• Target temp - 125OC (35-50OC less than convential)
• Proven technology and durability
• Allows for increased RAP additon (up to 30%)
• Fuel and associated CO2 savings
• Technical specification to be launched ...
Readymix solutions
High performance, quality assured materials
• Self compacting concrete
• High strength / chemical resistant concrete
• Macro reinforced concrete
• Low carbon concrete
• Trench fill materials
Self-compacting concrete
High strength concrete
• Application: Physical / chemical environs
• Placed underwater
• Chemical resistance
• High impact
• Early strength
• Durable, long design life
Innovative, low carbon alternative to traditional
steel reinforced concrete
Reinforced concrete - Topforce
• Application: high impact floor slabs
• Removes the need for steel / steel mesh
• Reduces plastic shrinkage and cracking
• Health and safety benefits
• Saves time
• Saves money
• Low carbon (savings up 67%)
Low carbon concrete
• Application: Utilities sector
• Flowable structural
• On site application
• 100% reuse / recycling of trench arising
• Health and safety (HAVs)
• Cost savings
• Innovative partner development
Trench reinstatement - FSMR
Cement & Lime
A wide range of high quality cement and lime products
• Bulk / packed portland cement (CEM1)
• Bulk / packed portland limestone cement (CEM2)
• High purity chemcial limestone
Energy waste sector - flue gas treatment (Limbux)
Water treatment – drinking water, effluent treatment (Kalic)
Ground engineering – soil stabilsation (Limbase)
Construction – formulated building mortars (Limebond)

Carbon footprintA carbon footprint is a measure of the
impact of our activities on the environment,
specifically our greenhouse gas emissions.
We calculate and report the carbon footprint
of our products in CO2e.
A product / location specific carbon
footprint can be provided for any of our
products.
