Grouts Underpin Sales
Grouting and waste stabilisation contracts boosted ScotAsh's sales for 2005/06, reports Sales Manager Chris Bennett.
More than 170,000 tonnes of PFA for grouts were supplied during the year for projects ranging from a housing development in Prestonpans, to retail developments at Cambuslang and Port Glasgow and the relining of a 2km, 70-year-old tunnel at Drumjohn Power Station, Galloway (above).
Pre-blended grouts were also supplied for projects at Waverly Station, Edinburgh, Hyde Farm landfill site in London and Northwich Salt Mines in Cheshire. A consignment of 150 tonnes of specialist grout was exported to the Middle East to be used in the linings of oil wells.
Sales of stabilisation products rose during the year. ScotAsh is currently supplying 750 tonnes of EnvirOceM C25 to Digit, to stabilise dredgings from the Forth and Clyde Canal at Spiers Wharf, Glasgow, as part of a major regeneration project.
Contracts to supply Farr and Paul's Hill windfarms with Trojan T27 RM cement are complete, while the supply of materials for the Stirling to Alloa rail link continues.
Sales of Superpozz SV80 are also picking up. The superfine product, used as a part replacement for microsilica, has been used in high strength concrete for a bridge in Fife - and to manufacture stronger, lighter roof tiles.
