Our Whatley and Westdown quarries form the heart of our operations in the East Mendips.
Limestone extraction in the East Mendips has a long history. From Georgian crescents in Bath, to projects such as Hinkley Point C power station and HS2, it has helped to build our world.
Today, limestone in the East Mendips is considered a nationally significant aggregate resource and is used to make ready-mixed concrete and precast concrete products, as well as asphalt for use in highways.
At Heidelberg Materials we are committed to being a good neighbour and to playing an active part in the communities in which we operate. We currently employ over 60 people at our Whately quarry, plus many more in our supply chain of contractors and support staff. We actively support local initiatives and programmes and regularly host school and college visits.
Our operations can be viewed at a public viewing platform overlooking the quarry. Go to grid reference: 51.231433, -2.401429
