CDE, a leader in the design and engineering of sand and aggregate wet processing solutions for the waste recycling and natural minerals processing sectors, has unveiled its new ProPress high-performance filter press at Hillhead, adding to its state-of-the-art water management and recycling systems.

Developed to meet the evolving needs of the construction and demolition (C&D) waste recycling, quarrying, and mining sectors, the ProPress integrates the latest technological advancements to deliver exceptional operational efficiency and maximum water recovery.

CDE Group’s ProPress, which features patent-pending technology, benefits from a flexible design and variable throughput that can be scaled to fit the processing volume of any operation.

Unlike traditional filter presses, the system is dual feed, meaning sludge is fed from both sides of the ProPress for improved efficiency and faster cycle times. Optimised sludge feed pressure also allows for faster dewatering to increase overall throughput.

This is further supported by an overhead beam design that ensures reliability by reducing stress on the unit and improving its durability.

A £7.3 million scheme that will complete the fit-out of the recently widened Ash Barge Dock at Northumberland Energy Park has been awarded to Esh Construction.

Northumberland Energy Park (NEP) is the premier offshore energy base, located near the Port of Blyth. The site is part of Energy Central, the UK’s unique port-based service, investment and growth cluster for companies operating in the offshore energy and subsea markets.

Working on behalf of Advance Northumberland, the scheme includes the construction of a 3,000m² piled concrete relieving slab behind the west and north quay walls at ground level. On completion, areas of the berth will provide a safe working load of 5,300kN to make the dock serviceable for the import and export of components and finished goods.

LIGHTNING strikes and electrical surges disrupt critical operations and cause billions of dollars in damage to structures and equipment each year.

With the growing reliance on electronics and data centres, ABB is investing more than $35 million (£27 million), in a greenfield facility in Nottingham, United Kingdom, to meet increased demand for Furse® earthing and lightning protection solutions

The new state-of-the-art site is expected to open in early 2025 and will integrate advanced technology, flexible automation, R&D and testing, and digital processes to boost production capacity and enhance efficiency and sustainability.

More than 100 employees will relocate to the new 9,500 m2 facility from the existing 6,300 m2 ABB Installation Products Nottingham foundry, which has continually operated for over a century in the area where Furse originated in 1893.

MARCON Fit-Out is marking 20 years in business with the announcement that it has created 20 new jobs over the last two years in support of its sustainable growth plan.

The Antrim-baed company was founded by Mark O’Connor and Mark McElroy in 2004 after they noticed a gap in the UK & Ireland marketplace to service the interior fit-out market.

Initial growth led to the opening of a specialist joinery workshop in 2006 which has since grown into a standalone manufacturing space adjacent to Marcon Fit-Out's Antrim headquarters. A second office was opened in Leeds in 2021 to support the increasing business in England and Scotland.

THE UK construction industry is facing a gloomy outlook for 2024, despite tentative signs that the economy is improving says Data Analyst, ALEXANDER JONES

This slump in building is having a knock-on negative impact on sales of construction vehicles and we don’t foresee sales picking up until overall economic conditions improve enough to fuel new investment in construction, with activity potentially increasing by the end of this year.
