Bulk Handling Cement

  • On solid ground

    You want a mess on the quayside, dust in the air and complaints from the neighbours? Try handling cement without the right kit. Felicity Landon finds out about best practice  

  • From ship to shed

    A new cement import facility at the Port of Blyth will feature direct pipe discharge from ship to shed. The port has converted one of its newest warehouses on Battleship Wharf for storing cement, and constructed a silo for loading to trucks.
