River of opportunity

摘要

No one can afford to stand still for long in the aggregate industry, and Big River Industries, the nation's largest producer of expanded clay lightweight aggregate (LWA), is no exception. With its largest markets, concrete and masonry, the company is constantly evaluating and setting new goals to streamline its mining processes and employ evolving technology. Big River Industries operates three mines to produce its expanded clay LWA products, sold to customers throughout the South and Midwest, and elsewhere through exclusive distributors. The aggregates are currently used most extensively in concrete, asphalt, concrete masonry, storm water runoff, geo-technical and horticultural applications.
