MOODIE QUARRY

The Moodie Quarry is based on 201 acre

site which opened in 1981. The site is a

limestone quarry that mines the Gull

River and Bobcaygeon formations. Stone

from the quarry is used at the onsite

asphalt plant and supplies construction

materials to the communities of

Barrhaven and Kanata.

LAFARGE BEARBROOK QUARRY

Lafarge Bearbrook is on the eastern end of

Ottawa and produces more than 700 thousand

tonnes of product a year. The site is currently

combining two quarries into one large quarry.

It has both a wash plant and crush plant. It also

brings in both recycled concrete and asphalt.

One of the unique things about the site you will

get to see is the fault zone that goes through

the middle of the quarry.

THOMAS CAVANAGH

ALMONTE QUARRY / WASH PLANT

Almonte Quarry is a 141 hectare site and is one

of Cavanagh’s main sources since opening in

1971. With increasing pressure on natural sand

& growing haul distances, Cavanagh purchased a

wash plant capable of producing wash stone and

manufactured sand. The plant is powered off the

grid. It consists of an 8x20 three deck incline wet

screen which washes over a 2500 gallon

re-circulating tank where the fines are pumped

up to the cyclone that discharges onto a 5x10

dewatering screen.
