An Unusual Delivery!

Cemex UK recently supplied Readymix concrete from our Builth Wells plant to our customer, Newton Civil Engineering, at Abergwasgn Farm in Llanwrlyd Wells. The customer was installing a new telephone mast on the top of a big hill which had no road access for the Readymix truck.

To overcome the challenge, which was complete during two days, the customer decided to fly the concrete in a container to the top of the hill using a helicopter! The alternative was to build a temporary three mile road so hiring a helicopter at £500 per hour worked out more cost effective!
