Fast, Bespoke Storage Solution for Aggregate Moisture Control at Castacrete

The Company:

Established in 1966, UK based Castacrete is a leading supplier of an extensive range of quality paving products, including paving slabs and driveway blocks, all sold through their trusted brand. Castacrete operates three major manufacturing sites across the UK, serving construction and landscape contractors as well the general public.

The Challenge:

Castacrete was facing a challenge with maintaining the moisture content of their aggregates. This consistency was essential for ensuring the high quality of their finished paving products and meeting the requirements of their clients. The company needed a storage solution that was both robust and efficient.

The storage solution needed to address several key issues. Firstly, it had to provide reliable protection from the elements, as fluctuations in temperature and humidity could significantly impact the moisture content of the aggregates. Secondly, it had to maximise storage capacity within the limited space available at the Medway City Estate location. Lastly, the solution had to be robust and durable, capable of withstanding the heavy use and harsh conditions of an industrial environment as well as the British weather.

Castacrete’s search for a solution was driven by the need to meet the demands of their clients and maintain their reputation for high-quality products. The right storage solution would not only protect their valuable aggregates but also streamline their operations and enhance their overall efficiency. The company was looking for a partner who could understand their unique needs and provide a bespoke  solution that would meet those needs effectively.

The Zappshelter Solution:

Zappshelter provided Castacrete with a bespoke storage solution, consisting of a Zappshelter setup sized at 17m wide x 22m long, tailored to fit the limited space available on site. The Zappshelter was mounted on a precast concrete block wall with a partial end wall for enhanced protection. A key feature of this installation was the inclusion of a divider wall, creating separate storage zones within the shelter for multiple aggregates. 

The Result:

Castacrete, found the solution to be highly effective in maintaining the quality of their aggregate, enabling them to:

• Maintain consistent moisture levels in their aggregate, ensuring product quality.
• Maximise storage capacity within a confined space.
• Benefit from a fast and efficient installation process, minimising downtime.
