New
Plant
Where the old office building stood for 15
years, Halifax Paving with intentions of growing and becoming more
environmentally friendly, tore down the three story office building
and replaced it with a brand new "green" asphalt plant. As opposed
to running solely on large diesel-powered-generators, the new plant
runs mostly on electricity. The new asphalt plant is not only
efficient, but cleaner. It is able to produce up to 400 tons of
asphalt an hour, which is more than the combined effort of the
previous two plants. The new plant has four silos that at full
capacity can hold 200 tons of asphalt for up to three days. The old
plant will be taken apart and shipped to Saudi Arabia, for it to be
re-built and used again. |
