More than 100 people attended an open house at Granite Construction’s Coyote Pit in Stansbury Park, Utah, where a brand-new wash plant from CDE was on display.
Representatives from Granite, CDE and Goodfellow Corporation showcased the 550-tph plant, demonstrating how effective management can preserve water resources.
“We knew this plant would present challenges given the complexity of water management needs, and that the deposits we’re processing [are] very dirty, but CDE was certainly the right partner for us,” says Stormy Watne, plant manager at Granite’s Coyote Pit. “They understood our desire to recycle as much water as possible to better preserve local water resources, as well as [provide] technology that can process the challenging deposits, which we’re able to turn into clean in-spec material for local construction projects. We are now seeing firsthand how these challenges were at the heart of the design process.”
With this plant, Granite can process and clean dirty material from the area to produce five in-spec products: C33 washed concrete sand, #67 washed rock, 1.5-in. washed rock, 3/8-in. washed chips and 1/4-in. washed chips.
“We’re proud to be partnering with Granite and Goodfellow on this state-of-the-art plant, and this event allowed us to demonstrate our innovative technologies to industry professionals to gain a deeper understanding of the solution’s capabilities,” says Ryan O’Loan, business development manager at CDE. “With the greater Salt Lake City area currently facing a severe materials shortage as resources are exhausted, this plant is vital in meeting the growing demands of the construction industry.”
Goodfellow, which CDE established as a preferred partner earlier this year, was also instrumental in bringing the plant to life for Granite.
“From the moment we introduced CDE and Granite, we knew this would be a meaningful and fruitful partnership,” says Tom Childs, business development manager at Goodfellow. “At their core, the two firms want the very best for their customers, and by collaborating, we worked together to deliver the optimal solution for Granite.”
