A Hereford-based demolition company is utilising an Extec S-5 track mounted mobile screen to process around 100,000 tonnes of waste wood to make way for a new power station. Haywood Demolition is using the 29 tonne unit to spearhead a fast-track, 22-week site clearance contract.
Haywood Demolition is using an Extec S-5 track-mounted mobile screen to spearhead the segregation and processing of around 100,000 tonnes of waste wood for Pontrilas Timber in Hereford. Comprising some 51,000 m3 of material and including 15,000 tonnes of concrete, the material is being cleared to make way for a new and much-needed power station, which will supply the needs of Pontrilas Timber and enable the company to sell any surplus back to the National Grid.
Site Clearance
Haywood Demolition Limited was formed in 2000 and has grown quickly. Today, the company employs 47 people and operates an impressive and young equipment fleet including excavators from 21 tonnes to the jewel in the company crown, a 68 tonne high reach machine. The company is also a long-term Extec customer and currently operates C-10 and C-12 crushers and an E-7 screen.
Pontrilas Timber, meanwhile, can trace its history back to 1947. The company’s operation covers a 9.7 hectare area and incorporates a pair of sawmills, two hardwood kilns and five computer-controlled softwood kilns. Together, the two companies are pooling their resources to tackle a site clearance project that will clear the way for the new power station.
The site clearance project is scheduled to last for 22 weeks and Haywood Demolition spent the first two weeks of this trialling some equipment alternatives. “One of the key equipment challenges here is segregating wet waste,” explains Haywood director Ian Musto. “The material has accumulated over the past 30 years and comprises a large degree of wet and rotted wood waste and chippings but it is also mixed with concrete, metals and waste aggregates.”
Awesome Machine
According to Ian, the company had tried a number of screening alternatives, but he was immediately impressed at the Extec S-5’s ability to segregate the cloying wet waste. “Until we tried the S-5, we had nothing that would effectively separate the waste without clogging the screens. Even now we have one man on site to clean and blast down the screen decks at the work breaks, to ensure material cleanliness,” Ian adds. “We’ve enjoyed a long relationship with Extec but when they suggested the S-5 for a job that had thwarted every other machine tried, I was sceptical at first. But when I saw what it had screened after just two days, I was shocked and amazed to see how much of the waste pile it had cleared.”
Ian reports that the segregation process is now so efficient that it is now generating a series of valuable resources. “At present, we’re taking the clay and soil out of the mix, then the compost and top soil in varying grades. The remaining material can be washed for aggregate, the concrete crushed and used as sub-base and the metal reclaimed and recycled,” Ian Musto concludes. “The Extec S-5 has been the only machine up to the job. The double-deck screener is so effective at removing the fines that they can be used as top soil straight away. This is an awesome piece of kit and certainly one that is staying on site until the job is done”.
