how come you didnt crush the concrete giles and re-use it ?
Posted: Wed Feb 20, 2013 6:02 pm
no 300mm of a393 reinforced crete on top of 2000mm of the granular fill its super solid, that rammax is the mutts nuts i want it
ambient becuase it all getting crushed by a demo contractor when half the factory gets crushed, b. i dont like crushed concrete c. i dont know anyone with a suitable sized crusher d. i can buy fresh limestone mot for £7 a ton delivered, crushing cant compete with that when theres no muck away costs. and proper stones only £7 a ton, e. the health and safety and dust control night mare of crushing on a cdm site, i leave that to the demo boys with there 50 ton crusher

It would take too much time and slow the job to crush up the arisings for reuse.
