Aggregate Industries moves plant to Inverness city centre

Aggregate Industries said that its new plant in the centre of Inverness, Scotland, provides warm mix asphalt to allow surfacing contractors to extend their range of products. AI, which relocated its asphalt plant in Daviot to Inverness, said that the new location makes it faster for customers to access the plant by offering 24-hour service by request. Also, customers are less likely to be affected by adverse weather conditions as previously experienced in Daviot.

    Asphalt production is a complex process featuring many variables - Mike Varner, chief engineer at Astec Inc discussed methods with Mike Woof Asphalt production in a black art in more ways than one. It involves a complex process of mixing bitumen with aggregates under temperature and optimising this operation is crucial to maximise quality. But with so many variables, determining exactly what is going on inside an asphalt plant involves extensive research, sophisticated computer modelling and the use of a

    New developments in low temperature asphalt offer both cost and environmental benefits - Dr Nizar Ghazireh (Lafarge Tarmac) & Dennis Day (Nynas Bitumen) Low temperature asphalt (LTA) technology has considerable potential for reducing carbon emissions associated with road construction. The lower temperatures used to manufacture these materials mean that less energy is required and therefore lower emissions, which create better working conditions and result in lower impact on the environment.
