Why Choose Cloburn for your Wind Farm Project?

Cloburn Quarry are renowned for producing both high quality coarse aggregates as well as a high performing washed concrete sand, perfect for high specification projects.

The following properties make Cloburn Quarry your first choice for all windfarm projects…

Very low water absorption meaning you can control water contents. This in turn means you can control cement contents producing a higher strength with lower costs
High resistance to freeze thaw – the freeze thaw cycle causes water expansion which can crack concrete.
Low shrinkage value – reduces chances of cracking, currently 0.023%
Excellent shape with a single figure flakiness value – poor shape increases surface area, therefore, requiring more cement.
Low water demand – less water, less cement means production cost saving.
Low abrasion value – gives longer life and better durability of the end product.

Our unique haulage model also gives us an advantage for high volume requirements. We have access to several different hauliers covering a vast number of trucks, many of these hauliers have been working with us since the early 80s!
