Coming Soon to the North East!

Blue Machinery (Scotland), in collaboration with Terex Washing Systems, is poised to undertake a significant project in the North East of England for long standing customer, Thompsons of Prudhoe.

Thompsons of Prudhoe, a renowned contractor operating nationwide, excels in demolition, deconstruction, decommissioning, industrial dismantling, asbestos removal, site reclamation, earthmoving, quarrying, contaminated land remediation, and site clearance. In line with their commitment to building a sustainable circular economy, the company is making a substantial investment by incorporating two cuttingedge washing plants.

The first plant, due for installation in October 2023, is an impressive C&D Terex washing plant, incorporating a full ‘Feeder to Filterpress’ solution. Boasting a full loop crushing circuit, the plant is geared to recover an impressive 85% of the water used during the washing process. The facility will effectively operate as Newcastle's sole urban quarry, with an ambitious target to redirect a staggering 300,000 tons of aggregate away from landfills each year, significantly contributing to sustainable waste management.

Following the successful implementation of the first plant, the subsequent build will involve installing a state-of-the-art sand and gravel washing plant in early 2024, further elevating Thompsons of Prudhoe's commitment to sustainable practices. As the project progresses, stay tuned for more updates on these revolutionary washing plants, where the combined expertise of Blue Scotland and Terex Washing Systems promises to drive environmental conservation and promote responsible resource utilisation.
