Milbury increases concrete production capacity
Milbury Systems has completed construction of a new production facility at its concrete manufacturing works.
Installation speed was greatly enhanced through the manufacture and provision of 2.2 metre wide horizontal panels which Milbury produced at its concrete production facility in Lydney, Gloucestershire.
"We selected Milbury based on our previous experience of working with them on other projects, and the understanding that Milbury would tailor a bespoke walling solution which would meet both the needs of the design and the construction programme", commented Rob Green, design manager at Dean and Dyball.
"We normally supply concrete panel widths of 1.5 metres", commented Milbury works director, Simon Pearson.
"However we have the capability of producing widths up to 2.4 metres which enabled us to respond to the need for wider panels, allowing for a faster installation on this project.".
