24 24 HOUSING CASE STUDY BELLWAY HOMES DEVELOPMENT SECTOR: Housing CLIENT: Bellway Homes CONTRACTOR: M&J Evans Construction Ltd Working closely with Midlands based M&J Evans Construction Ltd for many years, Aggregate Industries has supplied Cemflow H, horizontal self-compacting concrete, to several housing developments across the region, including Bellway Homes developments in the East Midlands and the West of England. Brief With house building steadily on the rise, it s fair to say cost effective, high quality concrete is a must for contractors such as M&J Evans Construction Ltd. The project team required a solution for the internal housing slabs across multiple residential sites, which offered value for money but also enabled a speedier construction process. Solution We supplied Cemflow H for the flooring, as a highly durable and efficient solution. The high fluidity of this self-compacting concrete ensures coverage of a larger area at a more rapid pace, guaranteeing a smooth surface finish, which allowed for the final floor finish to be directly applied. Because Cemflow H can flow into formwork from a single point, is self-levelling and self-compacting, work can be completed at a significantly quicker rate, and ultimately at a lower cost to us and our client. Alex Clack, Commercial Director M&J Evans Construction Ltd Cemflow H does not require power floating or a screed layer as it is left with a smooth surface after finishing with a dapple bar. Crucially for M&J Evans Construction, this eliminates the need and cost of vibration equipment and ensures that the noise level produced on-site is greatly reduced so work can continue outside of standard hours.

42 42 INFRASTRUCTURE CASE STUDY DAWLISH RAIL, DEVON SECTOR: Rail CONTRACTOR: Dyer and Butler Brief When winter storms severely damaged one of the slipways adjacent to the Dawlish rail line, civil engineering and building contractor Dyer and Butler surveyed the site in order to formulate the right solution for the urgent repair work. Upon inspection, it was discovered that the site was only accessible via a 1200m long promenade, which ruled out the use of conventional delivery trucks for getting materials onto the site. Armed with this new information, engineers set about finding a manufacturer capable of providing not just a durable and cost effective product for the job, but a bespoke transportation solution too. Solution The answer was a grout mix that would encapsulate all the existing construction materials on site, delivered via a continuous pour along the promenade. Aggregate Industries designed and supplied 270m 3 of Diamondcrete GR High Strength Grout mix, which is a high-performance ready-mixed grout boasting indicative strengths in excess of 15N/mm 2 at 24 hours and 35N/mm 2 at 28 days. Diamoncrete GR was supplied at a sump flow value 650mm which proved to be the ideal level for a challenging construction task. With the ideal product identified, the Aggregate Industries team turned their attention to the logistics of delivering the grout to site. The main challenge was maintaining a continuous pour and avoiding blockages, which could result in unforeseen additional cost implications. The pours were conducted at dawn when the air and ground temperatures were cooler, which assisted with the continual movement of the liquid grout. Pouring at this time of day also kept traffic disruption to a minimum, which helped to reduce the overall impact of the works on the surrounding communities. Diamondcrete GR was delivered in a number of loads each day, over 10 days, meeting the project deadline. Delivering a bespoke product in an emergency situation using a highly complex logistical solution, is a great demonstration of Aggregate Industries extensive capabilities when a number of different specialisms work together from across the business. This project encompassed experts from the commercial, technical, production, transport and distribution teams, who pulled together seamlessly to deliver a complete solution to the contractors working to protect Dawlish rail.

54 54 INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL CASE STUDY WALKERS CRISPS SECTOR: Civil Engineering CLIENT: Walkers Crisps CONTRACTOR: Planters Aggregate Industries supplied the ideal concrete product to meet the customer s needs when resurfacing the deteriorating yard area. With fast setting concrete we were able to cause minimal disruption to Walkers productivity. Brief Walkers needed to replace large areas of their yard due to deterioration over time. The new slab had to have the ability to be driven on within 24 hours by HGV s. Solution Diamondcrete RA is a fast setting, highly durable concrete designed for heavily trafficked external yards. The concrete was supplied at an S3 slump and is as easily placed and finished as standard concrete. Slabs were cast and trafficked to schedule to the satisfaction of all parties. The fast setting concrete met the criteria of being safe for HGV use after just 24 hours.
