Concrete Plants, Equipment & Applications

Building materials giant Heidelberg Materials has been selected for funding of up to US$500m to advance industrial-scale carbon capture, transport, and storage (CCUS) at its new US cement plant in Mitchell, Indiana.

ABB and Captimise are extending their collaboration to drive the adoption of cost-effective carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) technologies in the cement industry.

The World Cement Association (WCA) has announced the outcomes of its 7th General Assembly, held on February 27th in London at the National Liberal Club.

Mark Cowan, former director of transport and concrete at the British Aggregates Association (BAA) and creator of MixerSURE training, has called for UK mixer manufacturers and their supplier network to form an association like ALLMI (The Association of Lorry Loader Manufacturers and Importers). 

Betonwerk Högerle in the south German town of Dietenheim has modernised its production of precast concrete parts with a new Betomat 3-235 concrete mixing tower supplied by Liebherr.

Based in County Armagh, Northern Ireland, Rapid International recently supplied Orchard Fencing with a new bespoke static concrete batching plant in Erith, Southeast London. The plant can produce up to 22m3 per hour of concrete. Orchard Fencing aims to produce 1500 precast fencing products per day in addition to interlocking blocks.

Aggregate Industries has appointed Ian Dean to lead its Concrete Products division.

The World Cement Association (WCA) is working to support the roll-out of the EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) by joining its stakeholder communication campaign.

Liebherr's new generation of batching plants is also available in a mobile version, Mobilmix. As a double plant, it can supply large volumes of concrete, yet it is extremely mobile and can be set up or moved quickly. This plant can even be used to supply concrete to vast construction sites.
