Infrastructure networks are crucial to enable efficient movement of people and goods, but also have an impact on the environment. With a growing population there is an increasing need for high quality and sustainable infrastructures and constructions.
As part of our sustainable value chain approach, we innovate and invest in research and product development to make the build environment future proof. The carbon footprint per tones is relatively low due our energy neutral crushing process in Bremanger Quarry. Our large bulk carriers provide us a low footprint per transported ton. And last but not least, we take a circular approach to asphalt.
We meet the highest standards as set in the Construction Products Regulation (CPR). All products are manufactured under Factory Production Control (FPC), and comply with the highest environmental specifications and verified Life Cycle Analyses
BONTRUP delivers aggregates for all layers that make up a high quality and sustainable road, meeting the strict safety and sustainability criteria. Our Bestone® is by far the most common primary stone used in the roads of the Benelux and makes a significant contribution to the quality of Dutch roads when it comes to safety and noise reduction. The combination of roughness, hardness and homogeneity makes Bestone® very suitable for road building. Requirements for road construction differ across Europe. To meet the different market needs and unique criteria for aggregates, our terminal and production facilities are designed to operate flexibly and can tailor aggregates to meet specific country requirements.
The infrastructure of a railway is complex and requires multi-disciplinary engineering intelligence. BONTRUP’s company Graniet Import Benelux (GIB) is home to our rail intelligence and rock products. Our inhouse rail experts understand the complexity of rail design, strict health and safety requirements and the importance of homogeneous and solid ballast. Bestone® improves stability of the ballast and in this way will better resist movement. Roughness combined with hardness and homogeneity makes Bestone® the best and most common primary stone used as ballast in Dutch rail infrastructure. It complies with all strict health and safety requirements in Europe. Just-in-Time logistics, years of experience, and the highest quality make Graniet Import Benelux the reliable partner for railway construction.
GIB and Railpro are more than 10 years partners for the delivery of track ballast. For both companies, innovation and sustainability has high priority. Bestone® is the ballast deliverd with the SALT train. The cooperation of Bestone® and the SALT train is unique in the market.
