Overview

Avonmouth Docks, Port of Bristol, have a continual development programme to improve infrastructure and facilities across their sites. They run a number of initiatives to offset environmental impacts of future port developments. Developments within the port have a key focus on sustainability and maximising environmental benefits

Project Scope

Projects have been quick to adopt manufactured and recycled aggregates. One project involved the laying of a new 10,000m2 Reinforced Concrete (RC) Slab for aggregate bays and hardstanding, including associate drainage.

Material Requirements

This project required both Ecoblend MA Type 1, (5773 tonnes) and Ecoblend MA 6F5, (888 tonnes). Having successfully used both materials in previous projects, the combination offered the ideal choice due to its:

  • Environmental impact reduction
  • Ready availability
  • Superior quality

Availability

Local supply logistics, both
road and rail, reduced the
project’s carbon footprint

Outcome

The continued commitment to using Ecoblend MA Type ` and Ecoblend MA 6F5 aligns to the Port’s environmental and sustainability objectives without compromising on quality or availability.

This case study illustrates the effectiveness of seamlessly integrating sustainability practices, making significant reductions to environmental impact whilst maintaining technical standards.
