Congratulations to the team at Barrington for reaching a significant milestone!

The landfill operation at our former quarry at Barrington has been receiving regular trains of inert spoil from tunnelling works being carried out at Willesden Euro Terminal for the HS2 project, and now the 1,000th train has been received! This equates to ~1.5Mt since we commenced in June 2021. This milestone is a testament to the hard work put in by our team, in partnership with the SCS Railways Logistics team.

This achievement also highlights the hugely important role that Rail Logistics plays in the success of major construction projects, such as HS2. Moving spoil by rail and taking lorry loads off the UK road network has provided huge environmental benefits. This is supporting our Future in Action strategy through the reduction in carbon emissions.

Thanks to everyone involved in this fantastic ‘One Cemex’ joint effort from our Operations, Commercial and Supply Chain teams. Special thanks go to Edgaras Dapsauskas, Tracey Millen and Michael Haines.

Barrington is a huge site with a large complex track with many stakeholders, both internal and external.

Many thanks to everyone keeping this operation safe and effective.
