From the Thames Tideway Tunnel to schemes such as the HS2 rail line, London Heathrow’s third runway and a possible Crossrail 2 project underneath London, the UK’s infrastructure pipeline dominates the headlines – good and bad. What attracts considerably less airtime is how we will build these once-in-a-generation projects and ensure we get the required materials in the right place at the right time.

One of the worst things that we can all imagine is unauthorised access to and abuse of our private computer networks. But what about cement distribution networks? How secure are they?

A common mistake many companies make on the road to digital transformation in cement logistics is to focus only on the technology. But key to success is putting the right people into the right seats…

Scrap tyres are now increasingly recycled rather than used energetically. This affects the supply of a reliable high-heating value fuel for cement plants.
