Another big ‘Thank You’ goes out to all of our teams for continuing to develop and implement their ideas that will help make CEMEX a Safer place to work, with better Quality and greater Efficiency/ Effectiveness.

Here is a summary of June and July’s ideas:

West Deeping quarry – Used brainstorming techniques with the team to develop ideas to overcome downtime due to blockages. This involved redesigning and fabricating a better, more effective reject chute.

Midlands Readymix – Developed very visual silo and tank measurement signs to help with the consistency and accuracy of stocks.

Aston Readymix – Installed an air flow system that feeds the water pit which agitated the silt and water allowing it to be pumped and kept clean throughout the day. This eliminates overflowing water in the yard which created STF Hazards and stops the need for dig outs every other day.

Procon Brentford – Introduced very visual colour coded admixture lines to help with auditing and traceability.

Willington quarry – Overcame the plant feed hopper tensioning bar spinning by drilling through and installing a nut and fitting a bolt. This removes the need to remove guarding therefore making adjustments much safer and quicker!

Congratulations goes out to the teams at West Deeping quarry and Willington quarry who joint took the Top Award for June and July!
