...While concrete has been around in one form or another since before Roman times, in this era the cement was usually mixed by hand using a shovel or spade. However in the late 1920 when the automobile industry started to become popular so did the portable cement mixer or concrete mixer as it is more commonly know in the construction industry. A cement mixer is device often used in the construction industry to produce a concrete substance, this is done by adding compound components such as the concrete powder, mortar and water together with the aid of a cement mixer to mix and fold these components to form what is known as a concrete substance which may be used for the application of bricklaying, foot paths or drive ways. A cement mixer is often used in the construction industry in large quantities however these devices can also be used by DIY householders due to the variety of mixers currently available in today’s market. All mixers leverage power, torque and weight distribution to get the concrete to the site, but getting it out of the truck is where you'll see differences in truck designs. Most of the mixer fleet, especially older batch model trucks use a simple tip-and-pour method to get the concrete out of the mixer. A chute attaches to a port and the concrete pours out of the mixer to the project. Usually, the driver of the truck operates the machinery and aims the chute. Many transit mixers are coupled to a hydraulic lift bed that can tip up the drum, similar to a dump truck...

...global competitors in cement derived from globalization? More broadly, how can cross-border activities add value in an industry as apparently localized as cement? The globalization has significantly boosted profitability growth of companies in the cement industry through international trade and cross border investment flows. Possibility to operate in different foreign markets helps companies to diversify its business. It is highly beneficial strategy for cement companies because of the cyclical and economic downturns and upswings of the industry in different regions of the world. Also because of the localized specifics of cement production and high transportation costs cement companies began to invest in foreign producers. CEMEX was successful in its international expansion strategy as it created value through acquisitions- purchasing existing capacity rather than building new plants in the foreign market which in turn strengthened its presence through economies of scale. What is important CEMEX targeted companies which market value was lower than its underlying values: WACC, profitability, capacity etc. Geographic diversification had also reduced earnings volatility. For example when peso crisis happened in Mexico and Mexican cash flows could not be used for FDI, CEMEX used its non Mexican assets from Spain to further finance new acquisitions. 2. How specifically has CEMEX managed to outperform its leading global competitors in the cement industry, especially Holderbank...

...2. From Thomas Springer’s inventory, multiple things can be deduced about his life and daily activities. For one thing, it is evident that Thomas Springer did work outside, most likely agricultural and lumber work. He has both a large amount of supplies intended for work outside, including crowbars, axes, and plows, as well as a large portion of agricultural and lumber goods, such as potatoes, cider, and wood. Not only this, but it is noticeable that he has more boots than he has drawers. The fact that he would have more boots than underwear shws that he certainly has a great need for boots, a need which would be justified by daily outdoor agricultural work. Although it is obvious that a good portion of this man’s day and his income is determined by outdoor work, it is also evident that his time is not entirely dominated by such work. It is listed that he has “a lot of books”. It can be assumed that if Springer had no time remaining outside of his agricultural work, then he would be unable to have time to read and thus be unlikely to accumulate many books. Therefore Springer most likely has spare time outside of working, which he is able to use for leisure. This, along with the fact that Springer is able to afford not only a lot of books for pure leisure, but also 2 slaves shows that, although perhaps not extremely wealthy, Springer is certainly well off and providing for himself beyond sustenance. Springer is evidently, thorugh agricultural and lumber work, making a healthy...

...– Sustainable performance in the construction industry -- a case study Introduction Cement was invented in England in 1824 and is a key ingredient in concrete. Every year the average family uses one tonne of cement without even knowing it. No house, school, bridge or road would be built without it. Concrete is the second most consumed substance in the world after water. It is made from aggregate, cement and water and can be mixed on building sites or supplied ready-mixed from a concrete plant. The UK’s first readymixed concrete plant was set up by a company called Ready Mixed Concrete (RMC) in the 1930s. In 2005, CEMEX acquired RMC. Today CEMEX is one of the world’s largest building materials companies. It is a leading supplier of aggregates (sand, gravel and crushed rock), cement and readymixed concrete. It also produces asphalt, concrete blocks and mortar and has a significant share of those markets. It operates in more than 50 countries and employs over 50,000 people. CEMEX UK has three cement plants, nearly 60 quarries, 40 asphalt plants and over 200 readymix plants. CEMEX’s customers range from multinational building companies to individuals building their own homes. In the UK, CEMEX generates £1 billion in annual sales. The expanding UK economy has seen an increase in the demand for roads and buildings. CEMEX plays an essential role in contributing to creating Britain’s infrastructure.
