The Stabilized Material Division of Cherry Crushed Concrete has opened its fourth stabilized materials plant in the greater Houston area on a 56-acre site in Fort Bend County. The new plant, geographically situated to service Fort Bend, Harris and Brazoria counties, began operations in mid-February processing crushed concrete and limestone. The resulting stabilized road base material is targeted to local heavy highway contractors, such as TxDOT and county municipality road work.

"Locating the new stabilized material plant adjacent to Cherry's crushing facility eliminates the transportation costs of double-handling the crushed concrete," says John Conyer, division manager, stabilized material of Cherry Crushed Concrete, Inc. "With zero transportation costs, we can be more price competitive, which in turn will save our clients money."

Cherry's Fort Bend County crushing yard is equipped to crush up to approximately 1.3 million tons of concrete annually, bringing the combined annual crushing capacity of Cherry's three area yards to approximately 2.5 million tons of concrete.
