CDE brings insight-driven agenda to CONEXPO with range of on-stand presentations
Ahead of CONEXPO-CON/AGG next month, CDE has revealed more plans for its stand during the show.
Taking place from March 3rd to 7th at the Las Vegas Convention Center, CONEXPO-CON/AGG is North America’s largest construction show, and this year marks CDE’s fifth year in attendance at the show.
Through a range of presentations on its stand CDE plans to showcase how its expertise in sand and aggregate wet processing is keeping pace in a changing market and how its solutions continue to unlock value from waste materials.
The talks and presentations are designed not only to deliver valuable insights and practical knowledge to show attendees, but also to provide Professional Development Hours (PDH) to support on-going professional growth in the industry.
CDE will be joined by a range of customers and industry bodies to discuss topics such as plant optimization, processing tough materials, pondless wash plant designs and winterizing your plant.
With PFAS, also known as forever chemicals, becoming a pressing challenge, particularly for materials processors across Europe, CDE will discuss the lessons learned from real-world PFAS remediation using soil washing and separation.
This year CDE will also be joined by a range of its pioneering customers including Freehaven Materials, Posillico, Repurpose Aggregates and Calgary Aggregate Recycling to share insights into the washing process, the innovations incorporated into their wash plants, and provide wider industry perspectives.
Hadi Rashidi, Director of Engineering and Technical Policy at the National Stone, Sand & Gravel Association (NSSGA), will also join CDE for a friendly debate on the topic of virgin vs. non-virgin materials.
Darren Eastwood, Business Development Director at CDE, said: “Not only will we be showcasing our solutions and technologies on our stand, but we want to highlight how our innovations are transforming our customers’ washing processes. In these presentations, we want to challenge how the industry thinks about resource recovery and help rewrite the narrative around waste for a more circular future.”
