The crusher plant
The crusher plant will break up rock from the quarry into aggregate and sand that will be mixed with the RCC. The crusher equipment turns boulders into rock no bigger than 2 inches.
The quarry
Rock will be excavated from the on-site quarry and brought to the crusher plant where it will be turned into aggregate and sand for the RCC.
What is RCC?

Making RCC on-site
We have built an on-site quarry, crusher plant and batch plant to make RCC. This will reduce the number of truck trips by about 70%.
