40 YEARS OF CARRYDUFF BUILDING SUPPLIES
EVOLVING ALONGSIDE TRADE DEMANDS, CARRYDUFF BUILDING SUPPLIES HAS INVESTED IN A PRECAST CONCRETE MANUFACTURING FACILITY, BLOCK- MAKING TECHNOLOGY, BAGGING PLANT AND ROBOT PALLETISER OVER THE YEARS… 40 years as a concrete choice for builders
Always responsive to the needs of the building trade, Carryduff Building Supplies installed a ready-mix concrete plant in 1997 to enhance its service to customers. A fleet of 11 concrete mixer and tipper lorries delivers ready-mixed concrete and screed to site from 0.4 cubic metres upwards. Allocated delivery times, spaced in two- hour slots, ensure customers are not kept waiting for concrete deliveries and can better plan their working days. At the same time as the concrete plant installation, Carryduff Building Supplies started offering limited concrete precast manufacture using individual hand-filled moulds. With the construction industry booming in the early 2000s, there was
yet again more expansion when the company installed an automated pre-cast unit, which allowed mass production of concrete products. With the success of the pre-cast production facility, it made sense to start manufacturing concrete blocks and bricks and, in 2006, a Finlay block-making and strapping machine was installed. In 2012, in the middle of the recession, the company took the bold step of installing a new precast production facility, housed in a purpose-built, 900sqm building to further diversify the range of products on offer. “Our precast facility manufactures a vast range of concrete construction materials from concrete lintels and window sills to
kerbing, gully surrounds, water troughs, water channels and much more,” said Andrew Gilliland, Director. In 2020, a semi-automatic bagging plant and robot palletiser was installed to allow filling of 25kg bags of stones, topsoil and more on site. A purpose-built shed was also erected to facilitate the screening of rough topsoil, allowing it to be stored inside to ensure a great quality product for customers.
