| Cemex supplies concrete for Mexico’s largest petrochemical project Mexico's Cemex, one of the world's largest cement companies, announced that it is supplying 250,000 cubic meters of a variety of specialized, ready-mix concretes for the construction of the new Braskem Idesa-Etileno XXI Plant in Veracruz, Mexico. The plant, which will produce ethylene and polyethylene, is the largest petrochemical investment in Mexico in the past 20 years. Cemex began as a supplier for this project in 2012 with the construction of the foundation. As of today, the company has delivered 80% of the 250,000 cubic meters of concrete required for the project. Etileno XXI is expected to commence operations in 2015, producing more than 1 million tons of ethylene and polyethylene annually. Among the specialized concretes Cemex is delivering for this complex construction are its self-compacting concrete, high-resistance concrete, and architectural concrete. Etileno XXI is a project developed by Braskem Idesa, a company that outsourced the engineering, procurement, and construction of the plant to a consortium comprised of Odebrecht, Technip, and ICA Fluor. write your comments about the article :: © 2014 Construction News :: home page |
