Overhall MiX.
WE AIM TO RECYCLE 100% OF INERT CONSTRUCTION AND DEMOLITION WASTE
At Overhall Contractors, we operate state-of-the-art volumetric concrete mixers, enabling us to produce high-quality ready-mix concrete directly on-site. This method allows for the precise batching of concrete as needed, significantly reducing waste and minimising the environmental footprint of each project. By producing only what is required, we eliminate overordering and surplus material -translating into both cost savings and a more sustainable construction process.
All concrete is mixed in-house using recycled aggregates sourced from our own recycling centres. This closed-loop system not only supports the circular economy but also reduces the demand for virgin materials and limits transportation emissions. Our commitment to using locally sourced, recycled materials and producing concrete on-demand reflects Overhall’s broader dedication to environmentally responsible construction practices.
To further enhance our in-house capability, we operate our own KMA mobile mixing plant, which allows us to produce macadam using recycled construction waste.
The plant manufactures Cement Bound Granular Mixtures (CBGM), which is an extremely durable and economic construction material used in both foundation and structural pavement layers. CBGM uses 100% recycled aggregates which increases sustainability with no effect on the quality or cost.
The Environment Agency recognise cold recycled bound materials (CRBM) as a stabilising technology for hazardous materials specifically asphalt waste containing coal tar. There is a calculated 90% reduction in carbon using CRBM in comparison to non-recycled asphalt equivalents, without carbon offsetting.
The transition to 100% recyclable tarmac in construction represents a significant stride toward sustainable development. By reducing waste, lowering carbon emissions, conserving natural resources, and providing economic benefits, this approach addresses multiple facets of environmental and societal challenges.’
