France: Eqiom plans to spend Euro8m on an upgrade to its kiln at its Lumbres cement plant. The subsidiary of Ireland’s CRH is installing a new clinker cooler on Kiln 5 at the site, according to the Nord Éclair newspaper. In February 2018 Fives FCB said it had won the contract to replace the kiln at the plant. The upgrade is expected to start in December 2018.
