CDE Plant Optimises Concrete Mix

CDE has been commissioned to supply a new sand wash plant by the Al-Jazera Concrete Company. JCC produces and supplies readymix concrete of varying strengths to largescale public works and infrastructure projects throughout the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

With a view to further improving the efficiency of its operation, the compressive strength of its concrete and to reduce the environmental footprint associated with concrete production, JCC has partnered with CDE to design and engineer a wash plant to efficiently process and enhance the sand equivalent value of its crusher fines.

“The use of unwashed crusher fines in concrete production can impact upon the end use of the final concrete product, rendering it unsuitable for higher value construction applications. It can also increase the requirement for cement in the concrete mix in order to achieve the desired compressive strength, a costly process both commercially and environmentally.” said CDE’s regional manager for the Middle East & Africa, Mr Ruchin Garg.
