21  Soil and aggregate recycling


Inert material makes up the bulk of construction and demolition waste.  Segregation of all recoverable materials will help maximise efficient use of these bulk materials.  Reducing contamination and improving quality will enable the high grade application of inert waste materials.

The Building Research Establishment is working with demolition contractors, recycling sites, ready-mix concrete sites and local authorities to develop quality control and markets for recycled aggregates in high grade applications such as ready mix concrete.

The entries in this section will help potential users of recycled aggregates to identify sources of material.  For further details on sources, the Aggregates Advisory Service provide listings of fixed recycling sites throughout the UK.  For information on recently available material, the Department of the Environment has sponsored BRE to set up a Materials Exchange on the internet which will help with this.  Please bear in mind the need to ensure the quality and fitness for purpose of these materials.

Note also that mobile machinery for the production of recycling aggregates can be noisy, dusty and dangerous; its use is controlled by the Environmental Health Departments (EHDs) of local councils.  Local EHDs should be informed in good time of plans to use such machines and double check on what is being supplied and where it is to be used.

THE WASTEBOOK SAYS  
Fly-tipping is illegal, unsociable and unnecessary - don't even think about it.

There is a charge for every load of waste you take to landfill
BUT the organisations below may want to use your waste, 
or they could direct you to someone who does.

If you know someone who may be fly-tipping, PLEASE put them in touch 
with someone listed in
THE WASTEBOOK
who can help them.

Wallage Lane, Rowfant, CRAWLEY, West Sussex RH10 4NF

Subsidiary of Colas SA of France (itself a subsidiary of Bouygues Group).  Operates from Crawley head office and over twenty other UK sites.  Offers a cold mix process for road surfacing and maintenance.  Existing materials on site are broken up, mixed with bitumen and recompacted to give a low noise surface.  This is quick and saves energy as aggregates do not need to be transported, heated and dried.  Information on the process also from The Energy Efficiency Enquiries Bureau at ETSU.  Colas also claim their high friction surfacing system has saved lives for over thirty years.  Manufactures and supplies a range of packed bitumen products, quarry binders, surface dressing binders, bond coats and coated stone, also available from Aram Resources, its quarrying subsidiary.  Founded 1929 to ensure development of the then new cold asphalt technique - hence Colas, COLd ASphalt.   
Technical recycling details:
on-site 'road recycling uses existing failed surface as a linear quarry; produces a thin surfacing incorporating recycled rubber that can make roads quieter.  Damaged layers of road surface are revitalised, mixed with binder (eg bitumen emulsion, foamed bitumen, or cement) and relaid, conserving natural resources, reducing quarrying and costs.  Hot on-site carriageways recycling uses Repave machine to weld new materials, so a tack coat is not needed.  Alternatively, existing surfaces can be planed-off and transported to a nearby self-contained plant, for re-use at the site or in later projects.  Planings can be mixed with other recycled products such as glass, china clay, crumb rubber; greater quality control may be maintained at the plant, enabling consistent formulated mix.  Recycol bitumen emulsion is formulated so the bitumen mainly coats the finest aggregate particles, forming a rich bituminous mortar that encapsulates the larger aggregates and binds them together under compaction.  The Foam Mix process preferentially attaches tiny specks of bitumen to the finest aggregate particles - particularly effective with cold, damp aggregates - and can process prepared construction waste and other marginal materials.  The Fibredec system is directly layable onto a compacted granular base, saving new materials and reducing subsequent disposal problems.'
