Heidelberg Materials Completes USD 24 Million Expansion of Port Canaveral Facility
Addition of energy efficient roller press increases grinding capacity by more than 25%
Heidelberg Materials North America has completed an ambitious $24 million expansion of its Port Canaveral slag plant and terminal, expanding capacities with the recent addition of an energy efficient hydraulic roller press. The new expansion, coming less than 20 years after the plant was opened, has increased grinding capacity by more than 25% and ensures the facility’s position as a state-of-the-art provider of slag for use in construction projects in Florida and the southeastern U.S.
“Investments made by our Port partners contributes to our strength and growth outlook,” said Port Canaveral CEO Capt. John Murray. “We’re proud of Heidelberg Materials and the commitment they’ve made to our Port and this community.”
