Construction of a new railway siding and junction at Cemex’s Dove Holes Quarry in Derbyshire, UK will increase rail capacity by 25% to 2.5million tonnes per year. The new 100m siding removes a bottleneck at the site and allows two trains to enter, exit or be loaded at the same time. Around 60% of aggregates produced at Dove Holes are transported by rail so the new investment will allow Cemex to remove more trucks from the road.
