Contractor Felix O'Hare and architects/engineers Teague and Sally have officially handed over CDE's new campus in Cookstown.

CDE is expected to move into the Centre of Excellence in the first half of 2019 after the finishing touches are made.

The following months will involve erecting signage and moving equipment and staff into the building ahead of its opening.

The new offices will enable the business to continue to expand its team, providing space for over 400 staff across areas including engineering, product development, and business services.

It will be the world's largest campus dedicated to the wet processing of materials in the sand and aggregates, mining, construction and demolition waste recycling, industrial sands and environmental sectors.
