PROJECT SUMMARY
Bluff City Materials, Inc., was awarded a 5-year contract by Lehigh Hansen Cement, Inc. to restore its Hansen Materials mine in Romeoville, Illinois. This project involves significant materials management, placement and compaction in the 55 acre mine. Over 1,000,000 tons of fill is required to be brought on-site on an annual basis.

In addition, Bluff City has material handler offloading systems, 45 ton Haul trucks, bull dozers and compactors to manage the closure of the site. Bluff City unloads each barge, 1600 tons of soil, within 3 hours.
