Building a Sustainable Future

Lightweight aggregate (LWA) is a versatile construction material renowned for its durability, insulation properties, and environmental sustainability. At Russell County Reclamation, we are proud to lead the charge in lightweight aggregate production, revolutionizing the construction industry and paving the way for a greener, more sustainable future.

Lightweight aggregate is a type of aggregate used in construction that is manufactured from various raw materials, including waste coal, gob, and shale rock. Through a process of heating and expansion, these materials are transformed into lightweight, porous aggregates that offer numerous benefits over traditional aggregates.

Reclaim. Renew. Prosper

Reduced Weight

Lightweight aggregate is significantly lighter than traditional aggregates, making it easier to handle and transport. This reduces labor costs and improves efficiency during construction projects.

Enhanced Insulation

 LWA offers superior thermal insulation properties, helping to regulate indoor temperatures and reduce heating and cooling costs in buildings.

Environmental Sustainability

By repurposing waste materials such as coal waste and gob, lightweight aggregate production helps to minimize environmental impact and reduce the carbon footprint of construction activities.

At Russell County Reclamation, we utilize advanced technologies and sustainable practices to produce high-quality lightweight aggregates. Our production process begins with the selection and preparation of raw materials, followed by a controlled heating and expansion process. The resulting lightweight aggregates are then screened and graded to meet specific size and quality requirements before being packaged and distributed to customers.
