Leamouth Wharf’s Best Op Ex Idea

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.

The ideas for this month’s competition include:

  • Leamouth Wharf: Used an old peristaltic pump along with some new pipework to pump approximately 50% of the silt that would previously been loaded onto a barge and disposed of at sea back onto the sand on the dewatering screen.
  • Hatfield quarry: Replaced a rented tractor and bowser with a towable dust suppression unit which is usable with site trucks. This alternative is a more cost-effective solution to dust suppression.
  • Willington quarry: Improved access to the Skako feeders by reusing some site redundant equipment and minimise work at height issues from this maintenance task.
  • Halkyn quarry: Improved access to the large Don Valley triple deck screen to minimise STF and fall from height hazards by installing a stairway and handrails.

Our congratulations go out to the team at Leamouth Wharf who took the Top Award this month!
