Tilbury Lends a Hand to save water on local allotments
August 22, 2016
Our team at Tilbury plant was approached by the local Thurrock Allotment Society and asked if they could supply some empty washed out IBCs (integrated bunded containers) to help them with water irrigation on three of the 100 local allotments – last year the three sites with more than 100 plots spent over £1,000 in water charges and this year, even with very little rain, at present have saved these costs.

Five of the team were invited to spend a day helping on the allotments helping with various tasks and seeing the difference these IBCs made to the allotment owners.
The allotment owners were extremely grateful to CEMEX and we've already received a kind letter of thanks.
