Summit's aggregate network

Summit's aggregate plants and quarries showcase our extensive network and ability to efficiently supply materials to projects across our 5 regions.

Different regions produce different types of aggregates based on local geology, from mountain rock to coastal sand.

Rock is mined from the ground.When the rock is too hard, explosives are used to break it into more manageable pieces. Loose material like sand or gravel, known as Alluvial deposits, are simply dug out with large equipment like front-end loaders or excavators.

Transport

The sorted aggregates might be transported to construction sites or other facilities, where they will be utilized in various building and infrastructure projects.

Aggregates are defined by their size, ranging from giant boulders used to prevent erosion on lakeshores, down to fine sand, and everything in between.

Transporting Excavated Material from Quarry to Plant. After the rock is extracted, excavators load the material into large haul trucks, which then transport it from the quarry to the processing plant. These trucks carry massive loads, often weighing several tons, and play a critical role in moving raw materials efficiently to the plant where the crushing and screening process begins.

Stockpiling

The aggregates may be sorted by size and quality before being stockpiled for future use in construction projects.

Use in Asphalt

The aggregates may be used in asphalt production to create a strong and durable material for paved surfaces, such as roads, parking lots, and driveways

Washing for cement & concrete

The aggregates may undergo washing to remove dust and impurities, ensuring they meet the quality standards required for use in cement and concrete production.
