Aggregate Washing & Screening
Major construction materials
supplier The Ashcourt Group
leads a sustainable future
with CDE wash plant
CDE, a leading provider of wet processing
solutions, has commissioned a 100tph C&D
waste recycling plant for The Ashcourt Group,
located at their Pocklington site in East
Yorkshire.
Operating since 1996, The Ashcourt Group is a leading
construction materials supplier throughout Yorkshire,
Lincolnshire and the North East. The company operates a
number of state-of-the-art wet batch concrete batching
facilities which are some of the largest and most technically
advanced concrete production facilities in their operating area.
In addition to this, The Ashcourt Group produce and distribute
a wide range of high-quality aggregate products derived from
a network of quarries, wash plants and overseas imports.
As one of the biggest concrete manufacturers and aggregate
suppliers in their operating area, The Ashcourt Group wished
to expand its operations with the integration of a new wash
plant which will be used to support its existing concrete and
aggregates businesses.
Commenting on the decision to invest in a CDE plant, Emily
Summerson, Group Operations Director at The Ashcourt Group
said: “As a market leader and innovator, The Ashcourt Group is
forward looking and recognises the need to move towards
providing more sustainable construction materials. There is a
market shift in what customers are looking for, many
customers now care about the green credentials of their
materials and materials suppliers.
“Additionally, it made sense for us as we are generating these
materials which, without the wash plant, would have to be
processed as a waste material, instead we are able to wash
and recover a range of sand and aggregates in a well-placed
location to serve the markets from Hull to York whilst diverting
more waste from landfill.”
The Ashcourt Group had confidence in CDE’s expertise to
design a solution which would increase the amount of
material they could process to meet current business and
market demands.
Reginald Port, Director Ashcourt (Hull & East Yorkshire) said:
“We spoke to some major suppliers and decided to opt for
CDE based on their extensive experience with this type of
plant. I visited a number of older CDE plants which have been
operational for over a decade. We are interested in the lifetime
of this investment, and we know that with CDE we have a
long-term partner that will continue to provide support across
the life of the plant.”
