COMPANY HISTORY Ebor Concretes Ltd has manufactured precast concrete at their Ripon works for over 50 years. Ebor Concretes is a private limited company and part of the Allton Group of Companies. Established in 1942 by the present chairman's father, for the specific purpose of providing much needed employment for local labour returning from the 2nd World War. The original works were built with the help of prisoners of war from the adjacent camp, one of whom stayed on after hostilities had ceased and became the company's first design engineer. During the intervening years the company has established an enviable reputation for the rapid turn round of both quotations and projects. THE PRESENT SCOPE OF ACTIVITIES Ebor design, manufacture and deliver bespoke reinforced concrete components including ground, edge and spine beams, columns, stairs, landings, stadia terracing, wall planks, insulated sandwich panels, firewalls, retaining walls and dock loading pits. Ebor also manufacture reinforced concrete specials to clients' own design specifications. Pre-encasement of client's structural steelwork to provide fire protection is now a regular feature of Ebor's production. A wide range of standard products including outdoor furniture, fencing and agricultural products are also produced, details and colour brochures available upon request. DESIGN - It Pays To Talk Early communication with the full design and build team is essential if value engineering and best solution targets are to be achieved. Ebor personnel are at hand to advise and when necessary to bring in one of the many consulting engineers with past experiences of similar projects to aid the process along. A full design service with support calculations, general arrangement and manufacturing drawings is provided for approval/information prior to manufacture. PROFESSIONAL INDEMNITY All design is covered by our own insurance with a £2,000,000 cover. FACILITIES The companies manufacturing capabilities include a mouldage facility for in-house production of both timber and steel moulds. A reinforcement department equipped with semi-automatic rebar cutting and bending machinery enabling all reinforcement to be fully caged before being placed into moulds. In addition, concrete production facilities include a modern batching plant serving a total covered casting area of 28,000 sq. metres with internal and external cranage to give a maximum lifting capacity of 10 tonnes. More and more we are taking advantage of recent advances in the production of Self-Compacting Concrete. This gives many benefits including improved surface finish and reduced exposure of our workforce to the effects of vibrating tools. QUALITY CONTROL A project quality plan will be tailor made to client's specific requirements, and will include third party testing by a UKAS laboratory. DELIVERY All deliveries are confirmed in advance having agreed dates and times with your site representative.
