MP Building Solutions Co Dunkall Finborough School - MP Building Solutions Center Parcs In February we carried out a large pour at Finborough High School where the client required 320m3 of concrete in one hit. After visiting site and consulting with customer, we provided two pumps to speed up discharge and placement on site with the pour being successfully completed by 1pm. We benefited with supplying concrete from both Stowmarket & Fornham Park, allowing a steady consistent supply through both pumps. MP Building Solutions were more than happy with this great effort from all concerned. Successful RMX supplied pour of Gypsol based screed, which was used in our promotional video, demonstrating the wide range of capabilities we offer our varied customer base. We are excited to announce that we've been working hard on obtaining video footage for our upcoming marketing campaigns. As we roll out these videos on social media in the near future, we ask for your help in liking, sharing, and spreading the word. Let's show the world what we're made of and make sure our message reaches far and wide.
