On behalf of the Management Team, another big ‘Thank You’ goes out to everyone for continuing to develop, implement and share their ideas that will help make Cemex a Safer place to work, with better Quality and greater Efficiency/Effectiveness.
The following summary gives a brief overview of the ideas from the January 2024 competition:
- Willington Quarry – To help reduce unplanned downtime due to sand pipes bursting because of excessive wear, the team have started to use an Ultrasonic Thickness Tester to measure pipe thicknesses and build the results into Checkproof. At a pre-defined thickness level, identified pipes are either turned to get additional use or replaced.
- Bramshill Quarry – The team installed 2 x 6″ hdpe pipes to replace a hired 900L Fuel Cube that moves water from the recycled lagoon to freshwater lagoon using gravity. Pipes were installed at a 1:100 angle and staggered to avoid creating whirlpools and disturbing silt. This is a great way to reduce fuel and hire costs, as well as improving the site’s carbon footprint!
Our congratulations go out to our Willington Quarry team who took the Top Award this month!
