Sand Martins are often held as a cute visitor until the bird wants to set up home in your sand pile in your quarry, along with 100 mates.
It's the time of year when Sand Martins start to arrive in the UK to breed having flown thousands of miles from the Sahara. All Cemex quarries have sacrificial sand banks to provide homes for these protected birds. Further information can be found in this website http://cmx.to/1UnlzZR
Cemex and BirdLife, who formed a global biodiversity conservation partnership in 2007, held a ceremony endorsing the European Union’s Nature Conservation Policy.
As part of a new co-processing agreement, Cemex uses the non-recyclable waste produced at GM Motors’ San Luis Potosi complex in Mexico as a form of alternative fuel in its cement plants.
A recent Markit/CIPS Construction survey showed that UK construction companies maintained a rapid pace of expansion in March 2014, mainly due to an increase in housebuilding.
Cemex USA has been awarded US$1.1 million funding to demonstrate carbon capture technology.
