We have been involved in the production and supply
of high quality aggregates for use in all aspects of the construction industry since 1945. From the environmental friendly methods of extraction of the raw material through subsequent grading, crushing and washing to delivery via our own fleet of tipper lorries – we are a flexible and responsive producer of high specification construction aggregates.

Indeed, our flexible attitude to supply means customers can get what they want, when they want it (we often supply out of hours materials for public works) and we have an impressive track record of carrying out extraction in environmentally sensitive areas, for example, on the banks of the River Evelix in Sutherland.

We currently hold over five million tonnes of resource and supply some 150,000 tonnes per annum. Our main facilities are based at Caplich by Alness and at Dornoch Bridge by Dornoch with further due to come on-stream. Over the years, we have supplied approximately five million tonnes of aggregates for construction projects in the Highlands. Other key elements of our service include:

• Modern mobile processing equipment designed to limit environmental impact
• A large fleet of modern and reliable delivery vehicles.
• Strict quality control procedures to ensure highest standards of aggregates
• Experience in all aspects of construction to assist with understanding client’s issues.
• Continuity of personnel and a high level of customer care.
• Ability to bag aggregates to suit client’s requirements.
• Recognition to ISO 9002.

We supply many thousands of tonnes of high specification materials each year, to the Highland Council for surface dressing of roads throughout the Highlands. In addition, many thousands of tonnes have also been supplied as the foundation for the construction of the entire roads network throughout the Highlands, from the main A9 trunk roads to the small single track remote highland roads vital to the Highlands.

We supplied specialist aggregates for use in the production of lightweight concrete which was used by Taylor Woodrow to construct a concrete flotation oil facility. Also supplied Barmac with materials for the construction of specialised oil rig fabrication facility.

Many tonnes of bedding materials have been supplied to utility clients such as British Gas, Hydro Electric and North of Scotland Water Authority to protect the utilities laid throughout the Highlands.
