Thompsons of Prudhoe, a respected name in Demolition, Deconstruction, and Site Reclamation, is spearheading a ground- breaking project in partnership with Blue Machinery (Scotland) Ltd and Terex Washing Systems. The site is set to unveil a state-of-the- art C&D waste washing plant featuring a bespoke 'Full Feeder to Filterpress' washing solution.
