| Cemex supplies ready-mix concrete for urban complex in Qingdao, China Monterrey, Mexico-based cement giant Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V. announced that it is supplying nearly 60,000 m³ of ready-mix concrete for the first stage construction of what is expected to be the largest urban complex in the Chinese city of Qingdao, in the eastern Shandong province. Qingdao is a major city with a population of approximately 7.6 million permanent inhabitants and in 2009 was named China's most livable city by the Chinese Institute of City Competitiveness. Cemex was awarded the Hua Run Center project after a competitive bidding process. Cemex was chosen along with another local concrete supplier due to its high-quality materials and services, a flexible and reliable delivery service, and the ability to provide top-of-the-line technical support. The Hua Run Center is expected to offer a mix of commercial, office, housing and hotel space, among other facilities. Cemex operates six ready-mix concrete plants in China, in the northern cities of Tianjin and Qingdao, and has presence throughout Asia with operations in the Philippines, Thailand, Malaysia, and Bangladesh. write your comments about the article :: © 2012 Construction News :: home page |
