Recently Cemex’s Engineering team, in collaboration with D&C Engineers, completed the demolition and major refurbishment of the aggregate storage bins and access upgrades at our key Wembley Readymix plant in West London.

The bins were originally installed in 1986 and have been through some very busy periods, especially when Wembley stadium was rebuilt between 2003 – 2007, so were long overdue. This upgrade not only secures the plant mechanically for years to come, but also improves the daily working environment for the plant’s team.

The new bins were designed and manufactured by D&C Engineers in three oversized bolted sections. This limited the downtime and helped in their installation and transportation, limiting as many H&S issues as possible. Logistically, when they were delivered, they had a police escort from their workshop in Tamworth to their destination in Wembley, a distance of almost 150 miles. They were then installed over the next two weeks, all this was done with the added restrictions whilst Taylor Swift was performing just across the way at Wembley stadium.

A big thank you to everyone involved at the plant and at D&C Engineers for a great job and ensuring that the project was brought in on time, on budget and most importantly with no H&S incidents or concerns.
