| Cemex unveils plans for new facility near London Mexican cement giant Cemex announced plans to construct a new grinding and blending facility for the manufacturing of blended cements in the UK, at the Port of Tilbury near London. This facility, which would have an annual capacity of 1.2 million tonnes, represents a US$49 million (£27 million) investment and could become operational during the first half of 2008. The primary product manufactured on-site would be CEM3 - a blend of traditional cement (Ordinary Portland Cement) and slag - which gives improved workability in unhardened concrete and helps to improve the long-term durability of concrete structures that are subjected to aggressive environments. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
