Location

The Muskeg Valley Quarry We currently have one crushing plant with a capacity of 7.5 million tonnes per year, based on a throughput capability of 1400 tonnes per hour producing 20 mm product. The large capacity plant was specifically designed for our limestone formation. With abundant screening capacity, it can produce aggregates to any gradation currently specified by Alberta Transportation, Public Works Canada, and the Canadian Standards Association.
