Works on Longcliffe Quarries Ltd’s new granulation plant are in their final stages following one of the largest investments by the company in decades.
The plant will open new product ranges for the family-owned business’s agricultural portfolio, including granulated lime products that will support the optimisation of soil pH levels for UK farmers.
“We are pleased to say that this milestone project for Longcliffe is well underway and on track for completion on our planned commissioning date,” Longcliffe group managing director Paul Boustead said.
“We are looking forward to finishing and commissioning the plant and being able to get the product out to the market.”
The plant is being constructed at Longcliffe’s Brassington Moor Quarry and is expected to be completed by the end of 2026. According to the company, the project has involved the excavation of 1500 tonnes of material and installation of 40 tonnes of reinforced steel, while the foundations incorporate 600 cubic metres of concrete.
