As reported last week, CEMEX UK is in the process of constructing a new Quarry at West Deeping.  This week we have a few more details from Tony Groom, our Senior Engineering Manager.

West Deeping Quarry is due to be fully operational by the end of August this year. The new facility is required to replace our Manor Pit Quarry (approx 5 miles away) which has now nearly exhausted all its reserves.

The new facility will produce 350,000 tonnes per annum of finished Aggregates and has been designed to produce eight different grades of sand and gravels. It is estimated that there are some 2.4 million tonnes of reserves at West Deeping which will meet CEMEX’s market requirements for the foreseeable future.

Duo Manufacturing were selected to design and install the washing and screening plant to meet our production requirements with RMB Contractors constructing the Plant foundations. The new site entrance was constructed by Paving Solutions and the internal civil infrastructure by Vision Groundworks.

This new site will incorporate two weighbridges, a wheelwash, together with office and welfare facilities for the staff and drivers.
