Aggregates
Sales of aggregates posted a significant decline compared with 2010 due to the ongoing contraction in construction activity and significantly reduced investments in public works.
Investments on quarry modernisation were carried out, with an emphasis on safety and environmental protection, with projects such as modifications on crushing-classification facilities and waste management processes.
Educational seminars with the participation of both employees and contractors were carried out across all quarries, focusing on raising awareness on health and safety issues.
Nearly all quarries were certified in accordance with ELOT 1801 on Occupational Health and Safety, ISO 14001 on Environmental Management and ISO 9001 on Quality Management. Furthermore, all INTERBETON quarries are certified with the CE conformity marking.
