Congratulations to the teams at Bramshill quarry and Wenvoe quarry for winning the October and November Operational Excellence best ideas competition. 

Bramshill team installed HDPE pipes straight from the supply discharge which now discharges fresh water straight into the freshwater lagoon.  This will save around £12,000 OCF a year.

Wenvoe quarry team used monthly ‘waste walks’ to reduce pump fuel usage by 25% and identified surplus equipment to eliminate monthly hire costs.  This is a saving of around £28,000 OCF per year.

Mark Beagrie has produced a great newsletter summarising all the great Operations Excellence from around the business.  Keep on looking for ways to improve our operational efficiency.
