- CEMEX expects to supply approximately
1,200,000 cubic meters of concrete for the main elements of the new
airport.
CEMEX, S.A.B. de C.V. (“CEMEX”) (NYSE: CX) announced today that
it will supply 320,000 cubic meters of concrete for the Terminal
Building of Mexico City’s New International Airport. CEMEX
previously announced the supply of approximately 845,000 cubic
meters of concrete—which together with the quantity that the
company has already supplied to this large-scale project would
amount to 1,200,000 cubic meters of concrete.
The Terminal Building will be “X” shaped and comprise a surface
area of approximately 734,000 square meters distributed on four
levels, as well as 95 fixed contact doors and 68 remote doors. With
an estimated total capacity of 68 million passengers annually, the
airport will feature open spaces, including shopping and restaurant
areas.
In addition to the Terminal, CEMEX previously announced the
supply of 845,000 cubic meters of concrete for the construction of
Runway 2, of which 770,000 cubic meters will be utilized for the
cemented base.
“We are very excited to deliver value for this great
infrastructure project through our products, technology, and best
building solutions,” said Juan Romero, President of CEMEX Mexico.
“Mexico City’s New International Airport will serve as a new window
to showcase the best of Mexico to the world.”
Given the immense scale of the project, in addition to
guaranteeing concrete quality and volume, one of the biggest
challenges is to organize the supply chain efficiently. The raw
materials required to produce the concrete will come from different
sources and will be transported in trucks, trains, and ships; all
of which are part of the logistics solution that CEMEX offers to
its clients. Additionally, cement plants will be installed on the
airport construction site to guarantee supply throughout the
project.
Because of the condition of the ground on which Mexico City’s
New International New Airport is built—the bed of former Texcoco
Lake—CEMEX supplied a special high-sulfate-resistant concrete.
