Waurn Ponds Recycling

Victoria, Australia · Processing Facility

Operating

GraphiteSilica SandKaolinHalloysiteTitaniumIron Ore (Magnetite)+39

Overview

The Waurn Ponds facility in Victoria, Australia, is an operating quarry and recycling operation owned by Boral Limited. It extracts materials like limestone, sandstone, aggregates, sand, and fill to produce crushed rock and roadbase. The site also includes a recycling operation, in partnership with Delta Group, which processes construction and demolition waste such as concrete, bricks, and reclaimed asphalt into recycled aggregates, sands, and roadbase. A former cement manufacturing plant on the site has ceased operations and is being repurposed.

Processing

The quarrying process involves the extraction of rock, which is then crushed and screened to produce various grades of aggregate and other construction materials. The recycling process involves sorting, crushing, and blending recovered construction and demolition waste to produce recycled construction materials.

Equipment

Boral is currently undertaking a multi-year investment program to upgrade its heavy machinery fleet across Australia, which includes the rollout of new front-end loaders, excavators, and dump trucks.

Expansion

The former cement manufacturing plant at the Waurn Ponds site has been decommissioned, with cement operations relocated to the Port of Geelong. The land from the old cement works is undergoing a rejuvenation project, with plans for a precinct that may include tourism, commercial, and residential developments. A portion of this land has been returned to the Wadawurrung Traditional Owners Aboriginal Corporation.

Deer Park Asphalt Plant

Victoria, Australia · Processing Facility

Operating

GraphiteSilica SandKaolinHalloysiteTitaniumIron Ore (Magnetite)+39

Opened

1965-01-01

Workforce

The operating site employs 48 full-time staff and provides work for up to 45 transport drivers.

Overview

The Deer Park site in Victoria, Australia, established in 1965, is an integrated Boral Limited facility supplying building and construction materials to Melbourne. Occupying 1100 hectares at Ravenhall, it comprises a hard rock quarry, an asphalt plant, a concrete batching plant, and a recycling facility. A former landfill business on site was sold in 2015.

Production

The open-pit quarry produces between two and three million tonnes of basalt-based aggregate annually.

Processing

The open-pit quarry extracts basalt, which is processed through drilling, blasting, loading, hauling, crushing, and screening to produce aggregate, road base, ballast, and sand. The asphalt plant uses aggregates from the quarry, sand from Boral Bacchus Marsh Quarry, and bitumen. The concrete plant produces pre-mixed concrete using aggregates and sand from the on-site and Bacchus Marsh quarries, with cement from Boral's Waurn Ponds Works. The recycling facility processes construction and demolition waste, including concrete, brick, masonry, and reclaimed asphalt, into reusable construction materials.

Equipment

The site includes a new processing plant with crushers and screens, and Boral Logistics agitators (concrete trucks).

Expansion

Boral is currently exploring the long-term potential for repurposing parts of the site, with investigations into industrial development opportunities on a 450-hectare portion of the landholding in partnership with developer Logos.

Opened

1977-01-01

Workforce

The facility employs around 115 to 130 people in operational and administrative roles. The quarry's workforce consists of about five contractors, including dozer and loader operators and truck drivers.

Overview

The Berrima Cement Works and its integrated Berrima Shale Quarry, owned by Boral Limited, are located in New South Wales, Australia. The cement works, which began operations in May 1929, is a major cement supplier for New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory, producing up to 60 percent of the state's total cement. The quarry, operational since 1977, provides clay shale as a raw material for the adjacent cement plant.

Production

The Berrima Cement Works produces approximately 1.5 million tonnes of clinker annually. The associated shale quarry extracted approximately 160,000 tonnes of shale in 2022, with a capacity to extract approximately 320,000 tonnes of clay shale per year at peak clinker production.

Processing

Limestone from Boral's Marulan South Limestone Mine is transported by rail and blended with other materials, including clay shale from the on-site quarry. This mixture is then heated in the No. 6 kiln to produce clinker, which is subsequently ground to create cement powder. The works produce approximately 1.5 million tonnes of clinker annually.

Equipment

Equipment at the quarry includes a D9 Dozer, a D8 Dozer, a 980 front-end loader, and several semi-trailers for material transport.

Expansion

Boral is transitioning to alternative fuels to reduce coal dependency and has received government funding to support this initiative. The company aims to achieve up to 60 percent thermal energy substitution in the kiln, which will also divert a significant amount of waste from landfill annually. Recent upgrades, including a chlorine bypass system commissioned in 2024, are designed to facilitate the increased use of alternative fuels.
