Holcim UK support project to boost bees and pollinators
HOLCIM UK have backed a project to increase the population of bees and other pollinators across the country. The sustainable building solutions provider partnered with the North Wessex Downs Landscape Trust to provide tens of thousands of spring-flowering bulbs. More than 60,000 bulbs, including Crocus, Grape Hyacinths, Star of Bethlehem, Bluebells, and Snowdrops, were purchased with a grant from Holcim and distributed to community groups for planting during October and early November. Holcim also sent 1,000 bulbs to their own teams as part of the company’s drive to create wildlife-friendly spaces across its 200-plus UK sites. At its Torr Quarry in Somerset, the company purchased 10,000 bulbs, sharing 7,500 with local groups in Downhead, Cranore, and Nunney, while planting the remainder on site.

Brokk robots celebrate 50 years in demolition
Brokk was founded 50 years ago as a solution to a problem faced by a small but innovative team of contractors. Brokk’s journey began in northern Sweden, inside a smelter furnace at Rönnskärsverken. Faced with dangerous manual demolition tasks, brothers Lars and Per-Martin Holmgren created a new solution: a remotely operated machine capable of doing the job with greater safety and efficiency. Their first prototype did far more than solve a local challenge, it laid the foundation for a new industry. “It was truly see-a-need, fill-a-need. They’re entrepreneurial guys that saw this is something that is needed and they made it. It’s quite remarkable,” said Lars Lindgren, President of Brokk North America. At World of Concrete in January, the demolition robotics company celebrated the 50 anniversary since the Holmgren brothers (now retired) made their first model. “Brokk was born from necessity, to protect workers and improve productivity in some of the toughest industrial settings,” said Ma

OSSGA seminar draws crowd, but education doesn’t end there
While the annual Operations, Health & Safety Seminar is the Ontario, Stone, Sand & Gravel Association ’s (OSSGA) signature event, the organization representing the province’s aggregate producers has evolved its educational offerings in other ways. OSSGA now runs more than 40 programs each year, including Common Core, supervisor modules and confined space training. “Workers at sites in Ontario are required to complete their base Common Core training,” says Julie Harrington , senior director of training and events at OSSGA. “Beyond this foundational training, workers may also be required to complete specialty modules. For example, anyone operating a front-end loader or a fuel truck has 12 months to gain knowledge and experience before being certified.” More than 30 modules are currently offered on top of OSSGA’s base educational offerings. While OSSGA members are among the biggest proponents of them, the association also engages a number of nonmembers because the education is onl

Aggregate production declines for third consecutive year, BDS report
BDS have published their ‘Estimated Outputs (2024) of Aggregate Sites in Great Britain’ report, showing total aggregate production exceeding 165 million tonnes, but marking a third consecutive year of decline. Crushed rock accounted for around 70% of output, with the remainder split between land-won and marine sand and gravel. The market remains dominated by five major producers – Breedon, CEMEX, Heidelberg Materials, Holcim UK and Tarmac – which together account for over 70% of national output, with Tarmac identified as the largest producer. Despite weak production trends, BDS recorded more than 30 new reserve planning permissions granted across ten regions between January and September 2025, offering some longer-term supply reassurance.

Tru-Trac highlight common conveyor problems
LOST production is a major direct cost that quarries and mines contend with when a conveyor system goes down. Some of the most common conveyor issues include belt misalignment, material carryback and rip events, amongst others. Drawing on decades of field experience, Tru-Trac’s Douglas van der Westhuizen and Guy Fitt have outlined some of the best-practice maintenance approaches to keeping conveyors at peak performance. One of the most common causes of unscheduled downtime on conveyor systems is belt misalignment which often results in spillage, belt edge damage, damage to the structure, increased power consumption and increased labour costs. According to Mr Fitt, national sales manager at Tru-Trac, a specialist provider of conveyor components for the global mining and bulk material handling industries, misaligned belts will ultimately result in lost production, increased operating costs and safety hazards. Mr van der Westhuizen, technical sales representative at Tru-Trac, said misalig
