SRMG Coronado Harvested Fly Ash Approved by TxDOT

February 20, 2025

At Salt River Materials Group (SRMG), we are constantly innovating to provide high-quality, environmentally responsible solutions for the construction industry. One of our most groundbreaking projects, the Coronado Harvested Fly Ash Project, has reached a significant milestone—its harvested fly ash has been officially approved by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT).

What is the Coronado Harvested Fly Ash Project?

In July 2020, SRMG expanded its agreement with the Coronado Generating Station to begin an innovative fly ash harvesting initiative. This project was designed to reclaim previously landfilled fly ash, process it using state-of-the-art beneficiation equipment, and reintroduce it as a high-performance supplementary cementitious material (SCM). This process not only enhances environmental responsibility by reducing landfill waste but also ensures a reliable, long-term supply of ASTM C618 Class F fly ash for the construction industry.

TxDOT Approval: A Major Achievement

TxDOT approval is a rigorous process, requiring extensive testing and compliance with strict quality standards. Achieving this approval means that SRMG’s harvested Coronado fly ash meets the high-performance demands for infrastructure projects throughout Texas, a state with a substantial need for durable, long-lasting concrete solutions. This approval reinforces our commitment to providing high-quality, sustainable pozzolanic materials that contribute to stronger and more resilient infrastructure.

The Benefits of Coronado Harvested Fly Ash

  • Sustainability – Reduces landfill footprint and promotes circular economy practices.
  • Reliable Supply – Adds approximately 300,000 tons per year to SRMG’s fly ash network, helping alleviate seasonal supply shortages.
  • High-Quality Performance – Meets ASTM C618 Class F specifications, ensuring optimal durability and strength for concrete applications.
  • Enhanced Infrastructure – Supports critical transportation projects across Texas with approved and dependable material.

Pioneering the Future of Sustainable Construction

SRMG has a long-standing reputation for expertise in classifying, beneficiating, and blending fly ash to meet the highest industry standards. The Coronado harvested fly ash approval by TxDOT further solidifies our position as a leader in environmental responsible materials innovation. We remain dedicated to advancing solutions that reduce environmental impact while delivering superior performance in construction.

Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to expand our harvested fly ash operations and support critical infrastructure projects across the Southwest and beyond.
