Naylor Concrete supplies Lintels to Rolls-Royce Project

Naylor Concrete Ltd supplied Ultrafire and HiSpec Lintels to the Rolls-Royce project in Washington. Miller Construction landed the contract to build a multi-million pound Rolls-Royce factory in Sunderland. The 20,000m2 facility, at Washington’s Radial Business Park, will manufacture fan and turbine discs for jet engines and is expected to be ready for production in 2014. The construction contract, thought to be worth £35m, is part of a £950m five-year-investment programme on the part of the company. Speaking at the ground-breaking event Rolls- Royce deputy chief operating officer Alain Michaelis said the new plant was evidence of the company’s commitment to growth. “We are pleased to begin construction on this important new facility which will use some of the most advanced manufacturing techniques to produce hightech aero engine components to power the most advanced aircraft operating today,” he said. The company said the fan and brake discs manufactured at the plant would be used in the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, the Airbus A380 and the Eurofighter Typhoon.
