GRS forms a new aggregates and waste joint venture in Surrey
GRS has formed a new joint venture to run a quarry and inert waste disposal business in Surrey.
The deal sees GRS partner with Guildford firm Down To Earth Developments (DTE), each taking a 50% stake in Alton Road Aggregates (ARA).
Initially the business will operate a single quarry and waste facility off Alton Road near Farnham, but the partners plan to grow the business and already have their sights set on other potential operations across Surrey and Hampshire.
The venture brings together DTE’s operational expertise in mineral extraction and land remediation with GRS’s aggregates and waste trading network. The Alton Road quarry will supply sand to the local market, as well as GRS bagging plants west of London, and take in inert demolition and excavation wastes to restore and landscape the site.
With an operational lifespan of more than 10 years, the partners believe the site is ideal for recycling demolition and excavation waste, diverting as much as possible away from landfill, materials which cannot be recovered would be used to restore the 36-hectare landscape.
