A Rapid International product story

Edited by the Buildingtalk editorial team Aug 3, 2010

Rapid International has provided a readymix concrete plant to help Bardon Concrete secure a contract to supply concrete to Carillion for the extension to the Airdrie-Bathgate rail link in Scotland.

This modular plant has enabled Bardon Concrete to improve its production capacity and become the flagship plant at its Scotland Headquarters in Duntilland Quarry.

With the Rapid R3000 Pan Mixer, six high capacity aggregate bins and four silos, Bardon Concrete can now produce a range of technically high specification concretes and screeds.

The two outlets on the Rapid R3000 pan mixer allows for two mixer trucks to be positioned underneath, allowing continuous batching.

In addition there is a completely separate batching facility for floor screeds such as the Bardon Highflow S, self levelling floor screed.

This ensures that there is no possibility of contamination of oversize aggregates or cement.

A special feature of the whole plant is that stepped access is provided to every area requiring maintenance or adjustment, including access to the tops of the silos.
