[编译]英国水泥产量暂停增长,小型粉磨站优势凸显

2018-07-03 13:50:45

金融危机期间,英国的水泥产量在2007-2008年下降了约500万吨/年。从那之后,产量基本保持增长。然而,它在2017年可能已达到一个平台期,主要水泥生产商抱怨英国退欧不确定性导致市场疲软。

  Hillhead 2018于6月底在英国德比郡一个采石场举行,它是全世界最大的采石、建筑业和资源回收行业盛会,两年举行一次。没有比这里更能感受英国的矿业和建筑业的地方了,让我们有机会了解当地的水泥行业。

  金融危机期间,英国的水泥产量在2007-2008年下降了约500万吨/年。从那之后,产量基本保持增长。然而,它在2017年可能已达到一个平台期,主要水泥生产商抱怨英国退欧不确定性导致市场疲软。

  有一种新的视角可以看到Breedon集团的崛起,它在2018年4月收购了爱尔兰拉根水泥公司(Lagan Cement),除此之外,Tarmac的邓巴水泥厂、Hanson在Padeswood投资新建水泥厂,爱尔兰的Ecocem在2017年6月在希尔内斯开设了一个进口站,最近它刚刚在英吉利海峡对岸的敦刻尔克开设了炉渣研磨厂。

  Breedon集团跨越即将到来的英国-欧盟边境的战略似乎是明智的。Hanson的母公司海德堡也将英国市场的不确定性归咎于英国退欧,它重新使用了一家西班牙工厂。Ecocem的崛起也显示了小型粉磨和贸易商以其更小、更灵活的操作方式比熟料生产商更能适应当下的环境。Tarmac从西班牙公司Cemengal购买了粉磨站,Cemengal以生产模块化可移动粉磨站而闻名。

  英国退欧确实存在不确定性,但抨击英国退欧不可能永远持续下去。一旦形势明朗,建筑业就可以专注于各种紧迫问题。一是英国国内住房供应不足,一种可能的解决办法是制定新的国家规划政策。政府于2018年5月完成了《国家规划政策框架(NFFP)》的讨论。矿产品协会(MPA)对此发表了意见,他们担心提议中的改革将削弱矿产规划体系,并威胁到骨料和其他矿品的产量。它认为,要保证建筑所必需的矿产品,需要“有效和高效的矿物计划制度,有最新的计划、资源丰富的规划部门和充足的数据,这些是先决条件,以及确保该制度得到规划、监测和管理的适当能力。”批评者可能会指出,只有NPPF得到完善,我们的工作才能进行下去,当然MPA这个过程一直发挥着重要的作用。

  主办方表示,此次参加Hillhead这样的贸易展会的参展商数量比2016年增长了10%,可以认为是一个积极的指标。
