A professional body realises its
dreams
Dry shrinkage of concrete made
from recycled materials
In this article, MQ looks at how the industry
has changed over the few decades, and
reviews a report from Sir Rupert Bromley
some 30 years ago, only to find that many
of the challenges in those days still apply
today.
This technical trial which was conducted
in Australia by the University of Wollon-
gong’s Bradley Whiting, Timothy McCarthy
and Eric Lume, describes the procedure
and results of a range of experiments
conducted on a commercially available
recycled concrete aggregate (RCA).

Transformation beyond the
equity scorecard – Part I
32 Proactive Aspasa
– a tough campaigner
This paper provides qualitative insight into
the initiatives employed and challenges
experienced by mining companies in a
quest to transform the mining industry;
contextualising the challenges experienced
by industry participants in their quest to
transform.
In this regular Aspasa feature, we discuss
the forthcoming GAIN meeting, which is
being held in April in Somerset West. The
formation of this body was driven by the
conviction that international sharing of
experience and best practice promotes
an efficient and sustainable aggregates
industry globally.
