Planned 400-ton-per-hour hot plant plant will expand local asphalt production for agencies, owners, and private customers.
Growing demand for asphalt in the Uintah Basin is increasing the need for local production. BHI is investing in a stationary asphalt plant in Vernal, Utah, with a production capacity of 400 tons per hour. The investment aims to reduce haul times, improve product quality, and expand the company’s ability to serve customers across the Basin.
“We see this as an investment in the future of eastern Utah,” said Nate Huschka, Senior Vice President at BHI. “Our customers need a high-quality product closer to their projects. This plant will give our team more capacity to meet that need and strengthen our partnerships with local agencies, owners, and private customers.”
The plant will produce a range of asphalt mixes to meet customers’ project needs. Before installation, BHI will complete the planning and permitting work, then build the plant’s foundations.
The Vernal plant builds on significant BHI investments in aggregate and asphalt capabilities over the past 18 months, adding production capacity across BHI’s Utah Markets.
