Sando Materiales is the Sando company specialising in the exploitation, processing, supply and transport of construction materials. To this end, it has several specific plants for obtaining aggregates, concrete and mortar, and asphalt agglomerate.
This activity provides a sustainable response to the demand for materials for infrastructure construction. Sando focuses on establishing responsible and productive operations that guarantee quality work, deadline compliance, and the lowest possible environmental impact.
Sando Materiales manages the “El Sillero” quarry in Churriana, Malaga, which has two mobile aggregate crushing and screening plants with a total capacity of 320 tonnes per hour. It also has the facilities of the “La Ventilla” materials plant, located in the “Aguilar” quarry in Parauta, Malaga. It includes a fixed aggregate crushing and classification plant with a capacity of up to 1,000 tonnes per hour. ate crushing and classification plant with a capacity of up to 1,000 tonnes per hour. As well as the “La Cabaña” materials plant in San José de la Rinconada, Seville, has an aggregate treatment, washing and classification plant that processes 1,000 tonnes of siliceous natural gravel every hour.
Concerning concrete and mortar, the company has concrete batching plants in Mijas and Parauta, each with a capacity of 80 cubic metres per hour. It also has two concrete plants in Malaga, one in the Villa Rosa Industrial Estate and the other in Marbella, each with 80 cubic metres per hour capacity.
In developing its activities, the company guarantees availability, competitiveness, delivery times, and the use of top-quality raw materials that comply with all international standards and environmental regulations. To this end, it has homologations to be able to carry out the marking of its material with the European Community (CE) and the Officially Recognised Distinctive (DOR) in different operations, such as in the Villa Rosa Concrete Plant (Malaga).
Landscape restoration and recycling are a fundamental part of the activity in this area, with land regeneration taking place as the land is exploited.
Depending on the specific characteristics of each project, different types of restoration are applied: agricultural, forestry, restoration of natural habitats, urban and industrial, recreational and sports or controlled landfills. In some cases, regeneration is carried out with previously processed inert residues, and the original agricultural use of the soil is restored.
Several research projects are being carried out to integrate innovation to obtain more sustainable materials, among which the following should be highlighted MAPS: Modernisation and Retrofitting of a Sustainable Agglomerates Plant. A project at the La Cabaña production centre in Seville seeks to modernise and adapt the asphalt mix plant to use recycled pavement as raw material. This project aims to improve efficiency and contribute to environmental protection by reducing emissions generated and avoided.
