RECLAMATION SUCCESS

Francesville Quarry


National Stone, Sand & Gravel Association Environmental Eagle Award

Operated by Vulcan Materials Company, the Francesville Quarry in Indiana was awarded the National Stone Sand and Gravel Association’s 2003 Silver Environmental Eagle Award. The Environmental Eagle Award was created in 1992 to provide national recognition for aggregate-producing companies actively contributing to the maintenance of the environment in and around their operations, as evidenced by a corporate commitment to the full use of environmental controls and systems.

The Francesville Quarry is also involved in the Vulcan Scholarship Award program with West Central High School. Products produced at the quarry include agricultural line, asphalt aggregate, concrete aggregate, and manufactured sand. 

Vulcan Materials Company and the Francesville Quarry believe that: 

  • Social responsibility efforts at Vulcan are focused upon four areas: Community Involvement, Environmental Stewardship, Safety and Health, and Product Usage.  

  • Community Involvement ensures we help strengthen the communities that support our facilities and provide us with employees. 

  • Environmental Stewardship preserves the quality of life for future generations while providing products to enhance the quality of life for the present generation. 

  • Safety and Health programs are fundamental in ensuring the health and well being of our workers and neighbors.  

  • Product Usage reflects our determination to manufacture quality products in a responsible manner that adds value to society.
