Cherry Crushed Concrete opens new plant in Houston area
The Stabilized Material Division of Cherry Crushed Concrete
has opened its fourth stabilized materials plant in the greater Houston
area. Cherry’s newest stabilized material plant is located on a 56-acre
site in Fort Bend County. At this location, the new state-of-the-art
stabilized material plant is geographically situated to service Fort
Bend, Harris and Brazoria counties.
The new stabilized material plant began operations
in mid-February and processes crushed concrete and limestone. The resulting
stabilized road base material is targeted to local heavy highway contractors,
such as the Texas Department of Transportation and county municipality
road work. The new plant is located adjacent to one of Cherry’s concrete
crushing facilities, which processes concrete hauled from Cherry’s demolition
sites. The resulting crushed concrete is then processed into the stabilized
material at the new facility.
Cherry’s Fort Bend County crushing yard is equipped
to crush up to approximately 1.3 million tons of concrete annually, bringing
the combined annual crushing capacity of Cherry’s three area yards to
approximately 2.5 million tons of concrete. Its two other yards are located
in Houston, one at Loop 610 and Cullen and another in northwest Harris
County.
