Parkfield Road in Rugby is an old quarry previously operated by the Rugby Cement until the 1970s.

The old quarry site has now been brought back into operation and is currently being drained. From the end of July until 2026, it will become a recovery site for tunnelling arisings from HS2’s works at Willesdon Junction in London.

The original rail siding link running alongside Parkfield Quarry has been renovated to allow two trains per day, each with upto 22 wagons to bring the spoil to the site. Using trains brings significant CO₂ savings by removing trucks off the roads. By using alternative transports methods demonstrates Cemex’s Future in Action commitment to net zero CO₂.

A new platform has been built for offloading the spoil from the wagons – this has been constructed from Cemex Vertua low carbon concrete. The site is now ready to receive the first train planned for the end of July.
