Limestone filler enables lower-carbon infrastructure
The finely milled calcium carbonate is being used for concrete production at the UK's new Sizewell C nuclear power station.
LKAB Minerals and Heidelberg Materials UK collaborate on the project.
Heidelberg provides the raw limestone, which LKAB then mills and processes locally at its Gurney Slade site in Somerset. The finished product is sent back to Heidelberg for concrete production at Sizewel
Arj Parekh, Commercial Director for limestone filler at LKAB Minerals says, ‘By processing the limestone, we are reducing supply‑chain emissions and supporting the delivery of high‑performance, low‑carbon concrete for a nationally significant energy project.’
