Hillhead is Back!

Hillhead Show

 

This summer sees the return of Hillhead, the UK's largest quarrying, construction and recycling exhibition.

We can’t wait for the three-day event which runs from 21-23 June and preparations are already well underway for our biggest and best stand yet.

We’re delighted to announce that the show will see the debut for our much talked about water quality management system EnviroHub.

Launched to the quarrying industry in 2020, EnviroHub has since enjoyed continued growth both here and overseas.

The last six months has also seen the brand introduced to the construction industry in the UK where nationwide take up has been rapid.

With sites now required to provide proof of safe water disposal and water quality checks routinely being carried out by the Environment Agency and SEPA, a robust treatment and monitoring system such as EnviroHub plays a vital role. Disposing of water that contains pollutants can result in heavy fines and can damage a company’s reputation.

In addition to monitoring and reporting water quality onsite, EnviroHub can inform the site if the water is unsafe to be disposed of and can automatically intervene. Furthermore, the relevant system ensures that any water the site is to dispose of is treated and is free from pollutants.

EnviroHub won’t however be the only debutant on our stand; also making its first appearance at Hillhead will be an example of one of our new dredgers (below).



Perfect for quarries, the dredgers are particularly suitable for use in complex and hard to reach environments.

Used in Europe on sites such as ports, quarries and mines, the small, powerful dredgers can be used to mount pumps and dredging equipment and can be operated in shallow waters. They are also remote controlled which ensures the operators’ safety should they be working in the presence of acidic or corrosive substances.

Our dredgers can be transported and assembled more easily than larger dredgers which in turn provides the owner with savings both in terms of time and start-up costs.

Additionally, our dredger package includes a Welfare and Control cabin for operator comfort and real time monitoring of all functions.

Visitors can learn more about EnviroHub plus the dredgers and cabins by visiting us on stand A12 where staff will also be on hand to offer advice on pumps, how you can reduce pump related downtime on site and how you can save money.

“Atlantic are the only UK pump manufacturer dedicated to the quarrying industry and we’re very much looking forward to being back at Hillhead to meet both new and existing clients” said Managing Director Andy Smith.

‘’Hillhead is really key to our industry and is a home from home for us. Since our last visit we’ve even moved into Derbyshire so it’s even physically just down the road!

“We have also significantly developed our complete ‘dewatering to discharge’ concept so a visit to the stand should prove helpful for virtually all quarry operators”.
