DHB moving to acquire bitumen emulsion plant

With the intention to ensure there is sustainability in its operations, the management of the Demerara Harbour Bridge Company’s Asphalt Plant is moving to procure a bitumen emulsion plant.

Plant Manager Rory Ramdas yesterday told Stabroek News that it is a move by the company to ensure they remain competitive and sustainable. He noted that the plant currently produces asphalt only.

The bitumen emulsion plant will ensure  a steady supply of bitumen for asphalt production but will also allow them to retail the emulsion to road builders, generating a new stream of income.
