Doosan debuts
with Wring
W
ring Group is currently working
on the site preparations for
a temporary campus facility
that will house 1,000 workers that will be
employed on the construction of two new
nuclear reactors at Hinckley Point C power
station in Somerset. The site was formerly the
home of a British Cellophane factory acquired
by Innovia Films in 1996 that had lain derelict
after the plant finally closed in 2005.
Wring was brought in to clear the
buildings, which it achieved by the end
of 2010. The company is now removing
the substructures and foundations of the
demolished buildings as part of the current
land remediation contract. By the end of
the work, Wring is expecting to have sorted,
recycled and removed more than 250,000
tonnes of material from the site.
Four new Doosan machines are working
on the site, with pride of place going to the
first Tier4 Final/Stage IIIB compliant 39 tonne
DX380LC-3 to be supplied to a UK contractor.
It is working alongside three from a batch of
six new DX225LC machines also acquired by
the company. The DX380LC-3 is powered by

Costello Dismantling has recently completed
the demolition of the 55,742 m

(600,000 ft

)
Quaker Fabrics textile mill in Fall River in
Massachusetts, USA. The demolition resulted
in the generation of 100,000 tonnes of mixed
waste, with Costello recycling all but 2,000
tonnes that had to be sent to landfill.
Costello used a recently acquired
Sennebogen 821 material handler equipped
with a magnet grapple to feed two mobile
shredders, also recently acquired, to process
the timber waste. According to president Dan
Costello: “We look very carefully at each job
to identify those materials that are most easily
handled and recyclable; the highest and best
use opportunities for each type of material.
We have tailored our equipment fleet and
our personnel training to be disciplined
between the different markets for materials.
The thing we learned early on was the need
to meticulously manage the infeed,” Costello
explained.
“That mainly involves picking out any
heavy metals before the load goes into the
shredder. This will minimise damage and
minimise downtime on that side of the
operation. The maggrapple gives us the
capability to pull any steel present out of the
wood, then load the wood into the grinder
with the same grapple.”

Finlay solution
ideal for
Cappagh
UK recycling specialist Cappagh Group has
taken delivery of a Terex Finlay 883 screen
from dealer Finlay Plant South East that
it is currently using at its Stanwell, UK,
site for the contractor’s work at Heathrow
Airport, making reject sand that is used
for pipe bedding and filling.
Cappagh is headquartered in
Wimbledon, UK, and has operational and
recycling centres across the south east of
the UK. The company has made significant
investments to establish Aggregate
Recycling Centres, which are strategically
placed to serve customers across the
region. Designed to recycle construction
waste and maximise the production of
recycled aggregates for re-use within the
company’s own construction projects,
these centres provide an environmentally
friendly, cost-effective and uniquely
integrated service.
According to Michael Ferncombe,
managing director of Cappagh Group:
“Flexibility enables us to meet the
challenges of the evolving utilities and
construction market, and the introduction
of high performance plant and machinery
over the years has been key to us meeting
those demands. We have worked with
Finlay Plant South East for more than 15
years to introduce new plant that makes
a real difference to our operations. We
also benefit from excellent support in
terms of service and spares, to ensure
day-to-day operations run smoothly
and efficiently.”
