On this episode of “Drilling Deeper,” Peter Brewitt and Magnus Skörvald with Weir sit down with P&Q managing editor Jack Kopanski to discuss the company’s latest offerings and provide an update on the North American sand and aggregate market.

Brewitt, global product manager of sand and washing at Weir, and Skörvald, the company’s global product owner for crushers, offer their insights on how the sand and aggregate market in North America is experiencing strong growth. The pair points to urbanization and an increased focus on recycling construction and demolition waste as a buoy for this growth. They also note the shift they have seen from natural sand to manufactured sand due to the declining availability of natural resources.

Also discussed in this episode is Weir’s holistic, end-to-end solutions; the company’s comprehensive product portfolio; and its focus on service and customer support. Weir prides itself on offering equipment that spans the entire production flow, including ground engagement tools, crushing, screening, washing, fines removal, sludge treatment and tailings management. To support these offerings, Weir works with customers at the earliest stages to understand their specific needs and optimize the entire process.

Additionally, hear about Weir's focus on innovation, technology, and sustainability initiatives. While some aggregate producers remain hesitant to change, Brewitt and Skörvald say there is an increasing openness to adopting new, more efficient and sustainable technologies.

Finally, learn how Weir is leveraging well-known brands such as WARMAN pumps, ENDURON screens, CAVEX cyclones and LINATEX rubber to deliver high-quality, integrated systems.
