伯灵顿规划对柯比采石场进行数百万英镑的投资，以促进采石场可持续成长

坎布里亚郡的 BURLINGTON Stone 公布对其柯比采石场投资数百万英镑，进行采石场重建、购置较量机辅助生产设备以及斥地新的太阳能项目，以促进采石场将来几十年的可持续成长。

这家拥有170年汗青的企业是 Holker 集体的一部门，已投资500万英镑从新斥地采石场，剥离表层以获取高质量的资源储量。

此外，还投资了30万英镑购置现代较量机掌握的“CNC”机械，用于切割和抛光采石场的高品质建筑石材产物，这些产物活着界各地的声明项目中都能够看到，此外还投资了25万英镑购置太阳能电池板，将知足采石场三分之一的电力需求。

Burlington Stone 董事总司理 Richard Page 透露，新的CNC机床将提高该公司石材工人的花样，并可以为其建筑产物高效生产更大、更复杂的定制外形。’

“我们使用CNC的体式相符伯灵顿的价格观，”佩奇师长说。“我们永远不会抛却我们著名的产物的高水平工艺和手工品质。这是对工艺元素的增补，而不是庖代它。”

在公布对Kirkby Quarry进行投资之前，Burlington Stone 收购了位于巴罗的 Burlington Aggregates 剩余50%的股份。

从Neil Price Construction Services收购其余买卖后，该买卖规模扩大了一倍，成为西北区域最大的自力建筑材料集体之一。

佩奇师长透露，此举将使伯灵顿可以进一步改善为客户供应的办事，增加斥地新产物的能力，并确保南坎布里亚郡的就业机会。

对于伯灵顿来说，这是感动人心的时刻。新买卖将把Burlington Stone的高质量、完美的屋顶和建筑买卖与Burlington Aggregates 经验雄厚的骨料和预拌混凝土团队连系起来。

与此同时，安装在采石场工场屋顶上的 890 块太阳能电池板每年将发生27.5万千瓦时的电力，几乎是该场年用电量的三分之一。

佩奇师长透露在柯比采石场的这项重大太阳能投资是公司削减碳排放的立异之旅中的一大步。

Burlington unveil multi-million-pound investments at Kirkby Quarry

BURLINGTON Stone in Cumbria have unveiled a multi-million-pound investment in their Kirkby Quarry, securing the future of the business for decades to come.

The 170-year-old business, part of the Holker Group, has invested £5 million redeveloping the quarry, removing overburden to access high-quality reserves.

In addition, £300,000 has been invested in modern, computer-controlled ‘CNC’ machinery for cutting and polishing the quarry’s high-quality architectural stone products, which are seen in statement projects across the world, and a further £250,000 on solar panels which will deliver one-third of the quarry’s electricity needs.

According to Burlington Stone’s managing director, Richard Page, the new CNC machines will enhance the skills of the firm’s stone workers and allow efficient production of larger and more complex bespoke shapes for its architectural products.

‘We are using CNCs in ways that fit with Burlington’s values,’ said Mr Page. ‘We will never come away from the high levels of craftsmanship and hand-finished quality of our products that we are renowned for. It’s to supplement the craft element, not replace it.’

The announcement of the Kirkby Quarry investments follows the acquisition by Burlington Stone of the remaining part of their 50% stake in Barrow-based Burlington Aggregates.

The acquisition of the rest of the business from Neil Price Construction Services doubles the size of the business to form one of the largest independently owned construction materials groups in the North West.

Mr Page said the move would enable Burlington to further improve the services provided to their customers, enhance their ability to develop new products, and secure jobs across South Cumbria.

‘These are exciting times for Burlington. The new business will bring together the high-quality, well-established roofing and architectural business of Burlington Stone with the experienced aggregates and ready-mixed concrete team at Burlington Aggregates,’ he said.

Meanwhile, the 890 solar panels fitted to the quarry’s factory roofs will generate 275,000kWh of electricity a year, which is nearly one-third of the site’s annual consumption.

‘This major solar investment at Kirkby Quarry is a big step in our innovative journey to significantly reducing our carbon emissions,’ said Mr Page. ‘Within days of the first electricity being produced, we have been able to measure and share live data with our teams of the impact it is already having on our carbon footprint.’

Epiroc release new-generation SmartROC C50

FEATURING a new, smart graphical interface and even better fuel efficiency, Epiroc have released a new generation of their SmartROC C50 drill rig that combines the high penetration rates of top-hammer drilling with the superior hole quality of down-the-hole drilling.

‘We have fine-tuned and improved an already top-class surface drill rig,’ said Ulf Gyllander, global product manager with Epiroc’s Surface division. ‘The new generation of the SmartROC C50 will be beneficial to mining and quarrying operations around the globe.’

According to Epiroc, the SmartROC C50 is one of fastest, safest, and most efficient drill rigs available on the market. This is due to the COPROD technology, which offers a combination of drilling precision and optimal blasting results.

The new generation of SmartROC C50 is now fitted with an updated Rig Control System (RCS), which is said to improves fuel efficiency by up to 5%. The smart RCS system constantly monitors the compressor load and keep track of engine rev/min to ensure no fuel is wasted and that environmental impact is kept to a minimum.

‘Using less fuel has a big impact on cost savings – and the SmartROC C50 offers the lowest fuel consumption on the market,’ said Mr Gyllander.

The new generation of SmartROC C50 is also equipped with a new, easy-to-use touchscreen which includes an updated graphical interface. The screen provides valuable information and presents the operator with data such as Measure While Drilling. The updated system optimizes workflow and makes navigation even easier, with enhanced automation reducing the demands placed on the operator.

The new display also assists with trouble shooting by showing exactly where a problem is located so that downtime can be kept to a minimum. The smart technology also boosts productivity thanks to more precise drilling and consistency in operations.

‘The SmartROC C50 delivers improved blast results and the smart technology assists the operator every step of the way,’ said Mr Gyllander.
