RMX Northern successfully poured another large volume order for Merseylink into the central pylon in the middle of the River Mersey last week. This could only be done through great Team work and collaboration with other CEMEX departments and businesses.

Paul Cheeseman, Ops Manager for the job, takes up the story:  “Starting at 8pm Monday night, by 5pm Tuesday we had hit our hold figure and supplied 1,352m3 into what is the base for the central pylon for the bridge span. The final figure was 1,369m3 all in by 7.30pm.

After, the client took a 5m3 make up, then a 4m3 make up, then an 8m3 make up!!!!!! (To be fair it was dark by then so I don’t think the engineer could see his tape measure!)

Well done and thanks to all involved (Martin, Andy, John, Lee, Steve J, Kev B, Kev M, Karl, Martin, Dave, Stuart, John D, Joe in Operations, Lewis, Rob, Matt, Charlie on Technical, Paul H, Paul T and Team in Shipping, IHC’s Paul T, Paul A, Pete, Mal, Mark and CEMEX Aggregates, Cements and Admixtures).

We’ve got 20 deck pours to start soon at 1,000m3 each on a 17 day cycle – so business as usual!!”
