Aggregates production

Crushing and grading plant at the Cemex operated Shap Blue Quarry.

 

The ‘blue’ quarried granite rock is used exclusively for hardcore purposes, and as aggregate for tarmacadam and concrete plants. This stone is found to be superior to other chippings use in road making, because it does not break easily and therefore does not require replacing so frequently.
