FM CONWAY UNITES COLLABORATION AND INNOVATION TO DELIVER A PROJECT THAT SECURES BITUMEN DELIVERY FOR THE FUTURE BUILDING TOGETHER: A LANDMARK EXPANSION

FM Conway’s Imperial Wharf bitumen terminal expansion will double the site’s import and storage capacity, further strengthening the business’ resilience and its commitment to customers. The project showcases the power of collaboration, bringing together expertise from across the business and trusted partners to deliver a project that future-proofs supply and reduces environmental impact. Imperial Wharf is a site where history and progress converge. Once home to a paper mill, with remnants of the historic ship-to shore railway still visible today, it reflects a proud industrial legacy that has shaped the local landscape for generations.

Two new 3,000 tonne heated bitumen tanks have been integrated seamlessly

Eleven years ago, FM Conway transformed this historic site into a modern bitumen terminal, establishing it as a cornerstone of the business’ unique self-delivery model. Today, that legacy provides the foundation for a bold new chapter. This latest development marks a defining moment – building on more than a decade of operational success to create a high capacity facility that guarantees a secure supply of bitumen to ensure long-term success. At a time when global production faces mounting pressures, this investment bolsters resilience to deliver for highways clients and partners across the south of England, and reinforces FM Conway’s commitment to innovation and reliability.
