The new CDE washing plant is helping Norwegian sand producer Reddal Sand recover material that would previously have gone to waste
A Norwegian sand producer has improved material quality since it began using a new washing plant from CDE. 4918 Reddal Sand's new plant has resulted in a significant improvement in the quality of the product from its site in the South of Norway. Reddal Sand is located in Grimstad, Aust-Agder and has supplied a variety of construction materials to major projects in the area since 1989, including materials for use in concrete, road construction and various types of groundworks.
The firm began looking for suitable wash plants as it believed it could recover more material from its sand and gravel reserve. A particular area of concern was from the top 3-4m of the deposit, which contained a high level of fines and clay contamination that was compromising the final quality of the sand product. After looking into a number of potential suppliers they chose the Evowash sand washing plant from Northern Ireland company,3168 CDE Global.
The new sand washing plant includes the Evowash 71 and Evowash 151 supplied by4917 Ankerløkken Equipment which represents CDE in Norway. The firm is now able to recover material that would have previously gone to waste and Reddal Sand is supplying material to a diverse range of customers including concrete specialists 4920 Ribe Betong, Digernes Betong and Betong Sør. The company also supplied all the aggregates used on the construction of the new E18 road between Grimstad and Kristiansand through Ølen Betong.
Samples taken of material from the site suggest it is a high quality reserve for natural sand and gravel in the South of Norway. The current processing licence is initially for a 20 year period with an option to extend for several more years. Current production capacity at the site following the addition of the two Evowash sand washing plants is 200,000tonnes/year.
