Mobile Asphalt Plant
Wherever asphalt is required to be manufactured on site for
major projects, Colas is able to utilise its mobile asphalt
plants.
Use of our mobile asphalt plants on airfield sites has proven to
have a significant environmental benefit and is an important part
of our sustainable offering. Colas currently operate two
mobile asphalts plant for larger airfield projects and sites.
Use of onsite production means greater control over quality and
supplies, minimised site disruption and avoidance of lorry
movements on local roads.
Intrame M260 Plant
The Intrame M260 Mobile Asphalt Plant was procured in April 2010
for the runway resurfacing project at Manchester Airport, Mount
Pleasant Airfield in the Falkland Islands. The project called for
larger volumes of materials, so the output capacity of the new
plant needed to be significantly higher.
With no foundations required and a delivery to commissioning
period of three weeks, the plant can achieve a remarkable mixing
capacity of 280 tonnes per hour.
Ermont TSM225 Plant
The Ermont TSM225 has been used on a number of airfield
projects, namely; Manchester Airport, Falklands, Isle of Man,
Sumburgh Airport, Tiree Airport, Jersey Airport, Islay Airport,
Rockingham Motor Speedway and M77 Glasgow.
The plant has been accredited to ISO 9001:2000 under National
Highway Sector Scheme 14, together with the latest environmental
and quality standards, and is available to provide full production
support for all major projects.
All components of the plant, which is operated and maintained by
our own personnel, are trailer mounted and require no foundations,
enabling a delivery-to-commissioning period of seven to ten days.
It is powered by generators, which are also trailer mounted, and
benefits from 45 tonnes capacity hot storage for mixed
material.
The plant is a continuous mixer with an output rated at 225
tonnes per hour at 4% moisture. However, this may vary depending on
types of material being produced.
Bitumen storage capacity is 150t and two grades can be stored
simultaneously. Burner fuel storage capacity is 50 tonnes.
Accredited to ISO 14001, our plant currently holds permits to
operate in the UK under the Pollution Prevention and Control Act
1999 and compliant test certificates for particulate emissions.
Colas is also able to offer additional services allied to the
mobile plant.
