Sustainable solutions that won’t cost the earth 

AGGREGATE INDUSTRIES believes in continuous improvement and 

development but not at the cost of the overuse of scarce natural 

resources or inefficient production processes. 

Our businesses... 

take a responsible approach to the consumption of resources, the 

management and minimisation of our waste and the impacts our operations 

have on the communities within which we operate. We are also mindful of 

the increasing customer requirement to describe the environmental 

performance of our products and services. 

With this in mind... 

we have developed a dedicated symbol to highlight 

those products that have especially strong sustainability 

credentials. 

The icon and strapline has been created to... 

embody the principles of innovation, sustainability and regeneration, and has 

been assigned to those sector products and services that conform to 

sustainability criteria, ranging from the use of recycled materials to systems for 

sustainable drainage.

AGGREGATE INDUSTRIES BUSINESSES 

Overview 

As an indication of our commitment to minimising 

impacts we have through the agreement of a 

target of net reduction, begun a process of 

reducing our emissions of carbon dioxide, 

working towards a target reduction of 12.5% per 

tonne of production, by the end of 2010. 

The acceptability of our products in use, and the 

desire to provide a better living environment for 

local communities and their future generations, 

are important issues for our business. As a 

demonstration of this, Aggregate Industries 

sponsors the Civic Trust Sustainability Award, 

which recognises and rewards excellence in 

sustainable landscape design. In addition, our 

Charcon business has given its name to the Civic 

Trust Hard Landscaping award, which encourages 

submissions from large or small schemes that 

exhibit imaginative and varied use of hard

range of sustainable drainage systems, which can be tailored to suit the specific 

requirements of a particular project. 

The innovative high strength sub-base replacement system, Charcon Permavoid, forms the 

basis of some of Aggregate Industries’ range of SuDS solutions. Charcon Permavoid 

combines with a range of surfacing options, including Charcon Infilta block paving and Bardon 

DrainAsphalt. Charcon Permavoid also provides an effective drainage solution when 

combined with Charcon Permakerb. 

As an alternative, each of the surfacing options supplied by Aggregate Industries can also 

be used in conjunction with a granular sub-base. 


Case Study 

Salford Sports Village, Charcon Permavoid and Permachannel 

In order to provide ‘a sporting opportunity for all’, the car park and roof drainage system at the new 

Salford Sports Village had to be able to withstand the full force of the British weather. In keeping with 

Salford City Council’s sustainable development policy, a Charcon Sustainable Drainage System (SuDS) 

was chosen to meet the project criteria. 

The Charcon solution provided comprised: a Permavoid TM cellular interlocking box structure; 

a geotextile fleece to protect against ingress of silts, and Charcon Permachannel TM to provide petrol 

interception/oil separation. Very little excavation was required to install the system.

AGGREGATES 

Enviroaggs Secondary 

Enviroaggs Secondary is a full range of construction aggregates (including concreting 

aggregates), fills, hardcores and sands, produced from mineral waste generated from the 

extraction of China Clay in Cornwall. Asphalt products can be produced using a proportion 

of these aggregates. 


Bardon Aggregates currently re-processes in excess of 1.5 million tonnes of China Clay waste 

annually, which would otherwise be sent to tips. This represents about 7.5% of the overall tipping 

carried out by clay producers. 

Case Study 

A30, Goss Moor, Enviroaggs Secondary 

Bardon Aggregates, Bardon Contracting and Needham & Cullen were involved in the largest 

construction project of its kind in the South West, to construct a new by-pass on the A30 at Goss Moor 

near Indian Queens in Cornwall. Working in association with main contractor, Alfred McAlpine, this 

unique project is the first ever major national network highway road built using almost entirely 

secondary aggregates. Figures suggest that in excess of 90% of the imported materials were secondary 

aggregates derived from the waste generated by the China Clay industry. The China Clay industry 

generates waste at a high ratio to finished product, usually around the 9 tonnes of waste to 1 tonne 

of finished clay product. Currently some 20 million tonnes of waste is generated per annum. 

This particular method was very successful and has reduced wastage considerably.

AGGREGATES 

Garside Glass Sand 

Garside Sands is working towards a sustainable future through the development of ‘Glass Sand’ 

a sustainable alternative and complementary addition to its portfolio of silica sand products. 

The glass sand produced for Garside Sands is made from post-consumer bottle waste of all 

colours and is processed by implosion rather than crushing. A number of grades can be 

produced, from ultra-fine to coarse, each lending itself to a number of applications either 

used alone or blended with sand. Depending on performance or aesthetic requirements the 

proportion of the sand and glass in the blend can be varied. Waste and Resources Action 

Programme (WRAP) has undertaken a number of studies, with encouraging results, into 

various applications of glass sand as alternative to silica sand. 

It is hoped that glass sand may provide a sustainable filter media for water filtration and 

other industrial and decorative applications where silica sand is currently used. 


Glass Sand has been assigned the sustainability icon as it uses a potential waste material. Made from 

recycled bottle glass, the product will provide an alternative to virgin material. 

Case Study 

West Kent Golf Club, Sustainable Glass Sand blend for bunkers 

In response to a need for a more stable bunker sand at West Kent Golf Club, Garside Sands developed 

a sustainable solution of a sand blend containing 20% recycled Glass Sand. From a performance point 

of view, Glass Sand can be used as a replacement to the traditional natural bunker sand. 

The Glass Sand is produced from the surplus of recycled bottle glass in the UK as a result of the volume 

of wine imports, and provides similar characteristics to natural silica sand. As well as offering a more 

sustainable product, the addition of the Glass Sand to the bunker sand blend maintains a more even 

distribution in steep sided bunkers as at West Kent Golf Club. It also results in less ‘plugging’ and offers 

greater stability underfoot, giving members a safer, and more sustainable, playing environment.

READY-MIXED CONCRETE 

London Claycrete 

The greater use of secondary aggregates reduces the demand for primary aggregates. 

London Concrete is currently producing Claycrete, which uses secondary aggregate to 

replace the coarse aggregate in the product - representing 55% of the total aggregate in the 

concrete. The recycled content in elements such as pile caps represents typical values of 70%. 

The concrete supplied with an addition of 40% PFA as a cement replacement provides an 

overall reduction in CO 2 emissions in the order of 70 kg/m 3 and still meets the required 

durability standards. 


Cornish secondary granite aggregate is supplied by Bardon Aggregates from St. Austell in 

Cornwall. The aggregate is derived from the waste stream from the production of 

Metakaolin/China Clay process. Once the Metakaolin has been extracted, the remaining hard 

material is not processed but discarded as waste. The material is now taken and crushed to meet 

the requirements for concrete aggregates.

STRUCTURAL WALLING 

Masterblock Enviroblock 

Enviroblocks are sustainable aggregate building blocks certified by the BRE with an A rated 

environmental profile. The product range consists of 100mm widths in Dense 7N Solid and 

Lightweight Aggregate 3.5N Solid and the range is being expanded to include special paint 

finish and high strength variants. 


Contains 100% recycled aggregate or 100% China Clay secondary aggregate. 

Case Study 

Housing Corporation and Housing Association, Masterblock Enviroblock 

The specification for this project required an external leaf to timber frame houses to be ‘aerated’ or certified 

through the ‘BRE Environmental profile scheme’. After some discussion with project consultants the architects, 

JJ Jones and Sons, decided that producers of ‘aerated’ blocks were located many miles from Cornwall and 

therefore the delivery of blocks would offset any environmental gain in using their product. ‘Enviroblock’ were 

the only product that could respond to all aspects of the brief including having a local outlet. 

Feedback from those who worked on site was very positive as the blocks are the same size and similar to use 

to traditional concrete blocks, so therefore eliminating any confusion with new building methods. 

The architects were very pleased with the finished project and would not hesitate to use ‘Enviroblock’ again. 

The product allowed the Housing Corporation and Housing Association to achieve a pass with the Ecohomes 

Environmental Assessment Scheme.

ASPHALT 

Bardon Superflex 

Bardon Superflex is a superior sustainable binder course asphalt material developed to 

extend the performance gap found in existing generic products. 

The asphalt mixture is highly engineered using advanced polymer binder technology to 

provide long-term engineering best value for new construction or for the maintenance of 

existing pavements. 


Reduced mixing temperature by up to 30ºC degrees resulting in less consumption of fossil fuels in 

the production process and subsequently lower CO 2 emissions, while reducing exposure to bitumen 

fumes for operatives. It also increases lifespan of product in comparison with conventional surfaces 

resulting in less long term requirements for primary aggregates production and transportation of 

product and disposal waste asphalt. 

Case Study 

Chapel Ash, Bardon Superflex 

Chapel Ash, in Wolverhampton, is a major commuter road into Wolverhampton from the South West. 

Wolverhampton Council had noticed cracking of the surfacing during their routine inspections and 

sought advice on the best materials to use for repairs. Bardon Superflex has provided this area with 

a high degree of flexibility combined with significantly enhanced fatigue life, whilst retaining a high 

level of resistance to permanent deformation. It also offers a much quieter surface, dramatically 

reducing road noise at night, which is less intrusive on both the environment and the residents’ 

everyday lives.

Bardon Superstructure 

Bardon Superbase 


Superstructure is a modified road base designed to bear the load from the demands of 

modern traffic levels. It can either be laid thinly for short-run cost benefits or at normal road 

base thickness for enhanced whole life costs. 


Bardon Superstructure uses advanced polymer technology to provide best resistance to fatigue and 

deformation, increased durability and reduced consumption of primary aggregate. 

Bardon Superbase is a new generation base and binder course asphalt designed to offer high 

levels of resistance to permanent deformation in a mixture that can be produced and laid to 

give a low risk of segregation. 


Bardon Superbase provides increased durability and best performance against fatigue and 

deformation, reducing the requirement for repairs using primary aggregate. 

Case Study 

A1 Darrington to Dishforth, Yorkshire, Bardon Superbase and Hitex 

The A1 through Yorkshire forms part of a strategic link in the national network between Scotland, the 

north-east and the south of England. The challenge was to provide a binder course asphalt material that 

could support very high volumes of traffic without undue deformation. The laid material had to be 

constructed so that it was impermeable and provided protection to the lower bound materials. Modern 

thin surfacings are now the surface material of choice because of their user benefits, such as low noise 

and low spray. These materials can be regarded as semi-permeable and therefore the impermeability of 

the binder course layer is today of greater importance. Bardon Superbase14 was laid as the binder course 

layer, 50mm thick on top of a 28mm DBM50 base, with Bardon Hitex as the surface material. The overall 

pavement was designed as a flexible composite and used cement bound material in the lower base layers.

ASPHALT 

Bardon ASHphalt 

Bardon ASHphalt is a patent awarded asphalt material that guarantees a minimum content 

level of at least 15% of municipal incinerator ash but typically, used in combination with other 

secondary or recycled aggregates, uses levels of up to 20% or more. The product can be 

formulated to meet most British Standard requirements or design asphalt base and binder 

course mixtures. 


Uses locally available secondary aggregates to reduce reliance on primary aggregate sources and 

reduces impact on land fill. 

Case Study 

A316 at Twickenham in West London, Bardon ASHphalt 

The A316 at Twickenham in West London was chosen as a site for trialling Transport for London’s (TfL’s) 

Business Procurement Efficiency Programme (BPEP). The BPEP initiative aims to maximise immediate 

and ongoing cost savings in road works through the appropriate use of recycled materials to support 

the Mayor’s Green Procurement Code. 

100mm of existing surfacing was planed off and the area resurfaced with a proprietary 35mm thin 

wearing course and 65mm HDBM base course with recycled aggregate. This was laid in the same way 

as conventional HDBM. The HDBM mix contained 35% RAP, 10% glass, 10% IBA (total 55% recycled 

content), with the remaining aggregate sourced from Bardon Hill Quarry.

Case Study 

Wimbledon High School, Mansell Road, Wimbledon, Bardon Leisuretex Plus 

The objective was to create an updated playing area for a prestigious private school, with a proud 

sporting history. The client decided to use Leisuretex Plus because the site involved a play area that was 

to be used unpainted and would be likely to get considerable use. The client thought the risk posed 

by the material softening in the summer and any subsequent damage issues could be reduced by using 

an alternative material.

Case Study 

Private residence, near Maidstone. Kent, Bardon Prodrive 

The challenge was to create a driveway for a large private dwelling in a rural setting, that would both 

be tough enough to resist the effects of power steering and would not detract from the idyllic country 

setting. The customer, O’Rourke Construction, chose Prodrive Plus because the nature of the site 

demanded a tough and resilient surface course that would withstand power steering in tight turning 

circles. Prodrive Plus was laid in a 25mm thickness, on top of 0/20 DBM binder course, laid approximately 

70mm thick. This in turn was laid, in some areas, on top of a compacted hardcore of brick and concrete, 

with Type 1 put down to maintain levels and make it suitable for laying the binder course.
