Aggregates
The aggregates we supply conform to European Standards (EN), as detailed in the Highways Agency’s Specification for Highways Works (SHW). The aggregate types can be split into five main groups:
- Primary Aggregates such as limestone, granite and flint based aggregates with a normal 85% natural aggregate content,
- Secondary Aggregates made from industrial by-products such as pulverised fuel ash (PFA), blast furnace slag (BFS) and incinerator bottom ash aggregate (IBAA),
- EcoBlend™ A mixture of natural and recycled aggregates in a controlled blend,
- Recycled Aggregates recycled concrete aggregates (RCA), recycled asphalt and other mixes of materials produced from construction and demolition waste,
- EcoFILL a hydraulically bound mixtures made to SHW 800 series or customer designs.

Recycled aggregates supplied may be produced either by Day Aggregates under the WRAP Quality Protocol or from a third party supplier who may or may not comply with this standard.
