Lehigh Hanson has submitted a proposal for a new grinding facility with a marine terminal located next to its existing integrated plant on Tilbury Island, Canada. The 0.65Mta Delta grinding unit would have an operational life of at least 40 years, according to the company.

Panamax or Handymax vessels would deliver raw materials to the facility, while the final product would be delivered to customers by truck or barge.

The Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency is currently determining whether an environmental assessment is required and is inviting public comments on the matter.
