"The willingness of the CDE team to enter into the production of a performance statement demonstrated a confidence in their technology which automatically gave us more confidence that the plant would do what it says on the tin. In our experience it is also extremely unusual for a company to do this, especially when dealing with construction and demolition waste material as a result of the variations in feed. Since final commissioning of the plant the products are meeting the specifications as laid down in the performance statement drafted at the outset of the project. This consistency allows us to command the best commercial value for our products while also allowing us to give our customers the comfort that material will be delivered in-spec. This can only lead to the development of stronger relationships with our customers which will make our business stronger going forward."

“The introduction of the performance guarantees on the plant was a critical factor for us in order to ensure that this considerable investment delivered the required results. We were very impressed with CDE’s willingness to work with us on these guarantees. It demonstrated a level of confidence in their capability that is not the norm in our experience.”

“The use of high specification components can be seen throughout the plant. We had some fairly tight guidelines for CDE in terms of what we expected from the plant and in order to achieve this it was essential that we took the quality route. CDE have demonstrated the benefits of this approach in relation to product quality and efficiency and the results being achieved speak for themselves.”

“The CDE plant has allowed us to consistently and economically achieve an in-spec washed manufactured sand. This has transformed our production and allowed us opportunities to further develop our business.”

“One of the key things on our shopping list was a plant customised to deal with our specific issues. We had tried the off the shelf option and it just didn't work for us. CDE spent a lot of time analysing our material in the first instance and making adjustments to their set up to ensure that the plant delivers the products we require and most importantly, improves the quality of our final products.

Another key advantage of the CDE plant is the modular nature of the system. This new plant is able to accommodate any future changes in requirements whether they relate to capacity or final product specification. This gives us comfort that the new plant provides us with a long term processing solution.

Not only are we now able to effectively process material that we were previously unable to handle, but we have also seen the final value of our products increase across the board.”

Prior to awarding an order with CDE ltd, myself and other colleagues visited some of their installations and were impressed with the design, quality, flexibility and performance of the plant. We compared the CDE product to others in the industry and after a detailed adjudication decided to place the contract with them.

Throughout the tendering process we found CDE to be professional and responsive, they impressed us with their commitment and were prepared to guarantee that their plant would meet the production requirements. During the final design phase our engineers and CDE's engineers met to ensure that the plant layout and access was optimised, we found this to be very beneficial.

The plant is currently being installed, the works are being carried out by sub-contractors however all aspects of the works are being controlled by CDE site supervisors. A high standard of Health and Safety Management is being maintained and the installation timetable is in line with as agreed."

“We have purchased a number of processing plants from CDE since 2006. The decision to give CDE the orders were based on their technical approach to the plant design process which looked at our specific requirements and created systems to deliver the results we required.

Since installation the plants have performed as promised by CDE and they have continued to work with us to ensure optimum performance in maintained.

We are very impressed with the company's partnership approach and have no hesitation providing this reference."
