Concrete Recycling

With the growth of Campbell Infrastructure over the years, a new challenge arose with waste concrete stacking up in the depot. Founder Euan Campbell began researching ways to repurpose concrete from job sites all over town. In 2021, our team purchased a Sandvik QJ241 Jaw Crusher and other necessary equipment, such as an Anaconda conveyor belt, a screen pod for dust suppression and a Warrior Scalping screen.

Today, all waste concrete is processed into workable sizes, crushed, and screened into metal. With these resource developments, we now produce Gap100, 65, and 40 mm metal and a highly sought-after drainage metal product. We utilise these reclaimed products on a day-to-day basis on the job site.

By making our product from waste and setting up the pickup point from the depot, we are cutting back travel time from the quarries (which are out of town). The system allows us to cart twice the amount of metal daily, cutting fuel and metal costs. It also stops the waste from going to landfill or into farming blocks, where it is often tipped and forgotten.

The final recycled product is high quality and used in various projects across Rotorua and the surrounding areas. We are proud of the quality of our concrete recycling and the innovative work done by our team to reclaim material that would otherwise clog up our landfills.
