Groundbreaking Set for $30M Slag Plant at Florida Port

Slag recycling plant expected to bring 25 new jobs to Port Canaveral.

British-based Civil and Marine Inc. announced today that it is investing $30 million in a new granulated slag processing plant at Port Canaveral, the largest single investment at the port by a private company.

Construction of the plant, which is slated to take a year, begins with groundbreaking on July 30.

As a result of this investment, Civil and Marine will bring up to 25 new jobs to Port Canaveral.

Civil and Marine Inc. currently operates five plants in the United Kingdom, all certified as meeting International Standards Organization requirements for quality.
