UK contractor FM 2329 Conway has formally opened its new ship unloading facility at its asphalt plant at Erith in Kent on the banks of the River Thames near London. The unloading facility will allow the plant to increase efficiency for the delivery of recycled materials to the plant and reduce truck movements. This is one of the largest and most sophisticated asphalt plants capable of using recycled feed materials to make high quality asphalt road product. The 167 Benninghoven BM5000 plant was purpose built for FM Conway and because the contractor produces a range of environmentally friendly asphalt products, the input from 294 Nynas with regard to mix design has been invaluable according to FM Conway’s head, Michael Conway. In the 15 months since the plant was commissioned, it has produced 450,000tonnes of asphalt, including specialist materials to a specification from Nynas containing up to 80% recycled materials.
