| FLUSHING
SLAG BOUND MIXTURE Flushing SBM describes a HBM that uses the
hydraulic combination of granulated blast furnace slag
and air-cooled steel slag. FSBM is produced in Vlissingen
in the Netherlands (Anglicized to Flushing) hence the name.
The mixture is transported to the UK ready to use by barge
across the North sea. It has proved to be an economic construction
choice for structural pavement courses at locations close
to UK ports. More information on the material can be sourced
from Euromin Ltd (see LINKS).
