Walker’s Alvanley Ready-Mix Plant Receives Eco Gold Certified Designation
GREY-BRUCE, ON – Walker’s Alvanley Ready-Mix Concrete site located in Grey Bruce has received its Eco Gold Certification from the Ready-Mix Concrete Association of Ontario (RMCAO), in conjunction with the Ministry of Transportation of Ontario (MTO) and the Ontario Provincial Standards and Specifications (OPSS).
Concrete processors must complete two mandatory audits before issuing a plant certificate: a Concrete Facility audit and an ECO facility audit. Walker’s Ready-Mix Concrete plant achieved gold distinction for its facility exceeding minimum environmental requirements (ECO Gold). This recognition is a testament to our unwavering commitment towards a sustainable future.
“I am proud of the team here at our Ready-Mix site, knowing the hard work and focus it took to earn this environmental designation,” said Caitlin Winkels, Ready-Mix Manager. “As the Grey Bruce region continues to grow, we are happy to continue to offer high quality products and services while looking for new ways to reach our sustainability goals.”
Walker’s Alvanley Ready-Mix site offers many products and services including, high performance concrete, concrete barriers/blocks, decorative concrete, and a range of specialized equipment. To reduce the impact on natural resources, the site recovers used concrete, reuses water in operations to wash equipment and has invested in on-site reclaiming devices to separate sand and stone from old concrete to utilize in mixes.
Walker’s Aggregates and Construction division provides services throughout the Grey-Bruce area, with its Ready-Mix site operating year-round. The company offers local building materials and services to support critical infrastructure while minimizing travel, which helps reduce carbon emissions and project costs.
