Here at Feltham Demolition, we take our commitment to the environment seriously. We are constantly looking for ways to improve the environmental impact of our demolition services, from recycling debris to eco-friendly machinery. One of the key ways we achieve this is through the use of our mobile washing plants on our demolition projects. These highly versatile machines help us slash the carbon footprint of our services and aggregate production can cut down on waste and streamline the recycling process.
With the UK Government aiming to eliminate all avoidable waste by 2050, councils around the country are looking for percentages of recycled aggregates in every project to be put back into the ground. Feltham Demolition are proud to provide this service through mobile washing plants as one of the most ethical and environmentally friendly demolition companies in the UK.
What are mobile washing plants?
Mobile washing plants are transportable eco-friendly machines that rinse, screen, scrub and process waste materials on a construction site. Its transportable nature and quick set up means that it can be taken on every project like demolishing houses, factory unit strip outs, and taking down car parks, apartment blocks or office buildings.
Mobile washing plants are electrically powered and can be hooked up to green solar power generators for increased efficiency. Their robust construction makes them ideal for work in rugged conditions and difficult terrain.
What do mobile washing plants do?
Mobile washing plants use various pressures of water via a conveyor belt to clean rubble and debris, like stones, sand, and soil which can then be used in construction materials like concrete. The mobile washing plants used by Feltham Demolition are able to process 10mm, 20mm and 40mm shingles and clean and divide 4 grades of aggregate and 1 grade of sand including sharp sand.
Mechanisms within the mobile washing plant are able to break up contaminants found within soil and rocks, ready for the material to be placed back into the ground and its oversized concrete crunch can grind down large chunks of debris for recycling. They’re a quick and cost-effective way to dispose of trash and ferrous materials during the demolition process.
What are the benefits to a mobile washing plant?
Using a mobile washing plant on your demolition site comes with a wealth of advantages for you and the environment. Here’s just a few of them:
- They can be easily transported and set up anywhere, no matter the site.
- Using a mobile washing plant to recycle on-site cuts down on the need for trucks and 3rd parties to take rubble elsewhere, saving time and money whilst reducing environmental impact.
- Mobile washing plants can be set up and ready to go in a single day to minimise the impact to your construction timeline.
- Mobile washing plants produce zero emissions.
- Water is recycled and treated within the plant ensuring environmental standards are met.
- No more paying licensing fees to dump rubble as it can be easily recycled.
- Reduction on material costs as material is recycled quickly on site. For example on demolition sites material can be re-used as foundation for the next structure or recycled for landscaping and road surfacing.
- Boosted efficiency as mobile washing plants are able to divide and recycle materials that would often be sorted by hand.
- Ability to clean and divide large piles of materials at once, up to 400 tons an hour, saves time and energy for construction crews.
Mobile washing plants are revolutionising the way we approach environmental concerns within construction and are able to produce quick results with a fraction of the carbon footprint of other demolition services.
