Flooded gravel workings
Cemex gravel extraction, Ryall's Court Farm
Cemex began work on this site in late 2016. The extraction site covers an area of approximately 32 hectares, with minerals planned to be extracted at a rate of 180,000 tonnes a year over eight years. The minerals are removed from the site by barges on the River Severn, the barges are loaded via a conveyor, and then transported downstream. When extraction work is completed, the site is to be landscaped, creating lake.
