Tarmac to open UK’s largest aggregates terminal
Tarmac have committed to a 25-year partnership with the Port of Tilbury London Ltd Forth Ports Limited, to build the UK’s largest aggregates terminal. The long-term agreement follows a £250 million pound investment made by Forth Ports at Tilbury2.
The purpose-built aggregate processing and manufacturing facility will be strategically located to serve London and the South East, with multimodal connectivity.
The terminal will use the very latest technology and be capable of discharging the world’s largest deep-sea vessels. The riverside location combined with a dedicated rail head will mean efficient delivery of construction materials into central London without the use of heavy road haulage, supporting Tarmac’s commitment to reducing emissions and creating a safer environment for other road users.
