CEMEX Surfacing has started supplying asphalt worth approx £7million per annum, on behalf of Amey to the Birmingham Private Finance Initiative contract.

Over 30,000 tonnes of asphalt are required this year and between 3 and 4 times this amount per annum going forward. The investment will be in road repairs over a network of 1,500 miles of highways plus maintenance of footways and bridges.

The Core Investment Period will run for the next 5 years and involve bringing the network up to a threshold level. The Birmingham PFI contract is worth £2.7 billion over 25 years.

The asphalt is being produced at CEMEX's Washwood Heath coating plant in Birmingham and delivered to PFI sites generally within six miles of the plant, ensuring a low transport carbon footprint.
