Congratulations to Berkswell quarry for winning the EXCEED Ideation UK Award for February.

The team secured the victory after successfully trialling a polyurethane pipe liner which not only lasted approximately 50 hours more than the existing parts but was also 73% cheaper and easier to fit.

Well done to the other nominees too, including:

• Aston Readymix – Installed 5 x 3,500ltr admix tanks with electronic measuring device with auto shut off valves to stop overfilling and gantry to safely carry out dip checks.
• Willington quarry – Installed auto greasers on fixed plant in difficult to reach places.
• Rugeley quarry – Built a very professional looking ‘one stop’ mobile plant cleaning station to minimise non-value adding time obtaining the equipment.
• Leeds Readymix plant – Introduced a hopper and sock at the end of the spill tray to allow truck to reverse on to and help control / minimise spillage.

On behalf of the Management Team, another big ‘Thank You’ goes out to everyone 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.
