A new \u00a335m facility will be built in Merseyside to support the future of construction. A new cement import facility at Gladstone Dock will be built over the next year, with the aim of growing the UK construction sector and helping to reduce carbon emissions.<\/p>\n

The project is a partnership between port operator Peel Ports Group<\/a> and cement firm Medcem. It will create a deep-water terminal at the former P&O site at Gladstone Dock, in Bootle<\/a>, within the Port of Liverpool site.<\/p>\n

Construction work on the terminal is scheduled to begin in May 2025, with completion anticipated by mid-2026.<\/p>\n

The initial phase will feature four silos with a combined storage capacity of 45,000 tonnes, designed to handle cement and supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs).<\/p>\n

Enver Celikbas, business development and investments director at Medcem said: “This new terminal significantly strengthens our presence in the UK market, consolidating our position as the leading provider of low-carbon cement and cementitious materials in Europe.<\/p>\n

“The logistical advantages of Liverpool allow us to enhance our ability to accommodate large vessels and product handling.<\/p>\n

“This strengthens our supply chain, ensuring a more efficient and reliable service for our clients across the region.<\/p>\n

“We are also proud to partner with a leading name in the maritime industry, Peel Ports, that shares our dedication to sustainability.”<\/p>\n

Andrew Martin, group development director at Peel Ports Group<\/a>, said: “Logistics and construction are deeply interconnected, and by creating smarter, more sustainable import hubs like this one, we can help building firms secure the materials they need.<\/p>\n

“Modern ports like ours do far more than handle cargo over the quayside. We offer processing and storage facilities that streamline construction logistics, reduce road freight, and accelerate delivery timelines.<\/p>\n

“This project reinforces Liverpool\u2019s role as a base for investment that can drive regional, national and international growth, while opening up new employment opportunities and creating a sustainable future for the city region<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

SCMs, like fly ash and granulated blast furnace slag, are key components in producing low-carbon concrete, reducing reliance on traditional Portland cement and lowering greenhouse gas emissions.<\/p>\n

By facilitating the use of these materials, the terminal supports the transition to greener building practices.<\/p>\n

The 5.75-acre site allows for future expansion and increased storage capacity in subsequent phases.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Construction is scheduled to begin this monthDan Haygarth Liverpool Daily Post Editor and Regeneration Reporter 11:02, 20 May…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":116930,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8815],"tags":[2648,748,51,393,4884,179,12147,12459,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-116929","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-liverpool","8":"tag-bootle","9":"tag-britain","10":"tag-business","11":"tag-england","12":"tag-great-britain","13":"tag-liverpool","14":"tag-regeneration","15":"tag-sefton","16":"tag-uk","17":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114539920457218935","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116929","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=116929"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116929\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/116930"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=116929"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=116929"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=116929"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
