Currently under development project in France will be supported by Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V. an official communication of CEMEX says. Cemex will provide a wide range of building materials, as well as technical and logistical expertise for several stages of this large-scale project.
Cemex has been one of the main contributors to the Grand Paris for the foundations and civil engineering of a section of the Grand Paris Express. Cemex supplied over
55 000 m3 of specially formulated concrete to build the cast walls, technical and slab floors for the extension of lines 4 and 15 of the Paris underground, an extension that is expected to serve 60 000 passengers daily by 2020.
Cemex also participated in several phases of the ZAC Clichy Batignolles Development Area, a project that will reconfigure 54 hectares of inner Paris. For two of the first stages of this project, Cemex provided beams and construction techniques for 30 000 m2 of area under construction, using just-in-time concrete pouring to ensure uninterrupted pumping inside a heavy-traffic, built-up area.
Cemex has also provided logistical support for the Grand Paris through its port operations. Cemex’s ships are handling much of the logistics associated with removing excavated soil from the construction areas, and Cemex’s ports will transport more than 300 000 t of soil and contaminated landfill, relieving an already traffic-congested area.
"We are proud to participate in monumental projects like the Grand Paris, which will not only reshape the iconic city of Paris, but also improve the quality of life for its inhabitants," said Michel Andr?, Director of Cemex France. "Our participation in several stages of such a large-scale project demonstrates the technical, logistical, and professional capabilities of Cemex."
The Grand Paris development project aims to improve the quality of life of the residents in the Paris metropolitan area by addressing regional inequalities, while building a sustainable city. By its expected completion in 2030, the Grand Paris will include 205 km of automatic metro lines, 68 new stations connecting the Grand Paris clusters to airports and stations, and other urban infrastructure improvements.

Bangladesh’s Chhatak Cement Co Ltd has announced plans to modernise its facility and convert it from wet process to dry process. The company has begun to prepare a development project proposal, with a schedule to implement the upgrades by 2021.

According to company officials, Chhatak Cement has incurred an accumulated loss of over BDT3.63bn (US$43.25m) between FY13-14 and FY17-18, mainly due to its outdated machinery resulting in loss of production capacity. The plant is currently operating at 70,000 tonnes per annum (tpa).

However, the new project is anticipated to boost production capacity and increase annual company profit to around BDT1bn. The modernisation is expected to be financed by a BDT8.9bn investment from the government, with BDT5.34bn as a loan with a payback period of seven years and the rest as equity, according to The Financial Express.

The Dai Viet-Dung Quat cement plant has been forced to temporarily shut down in the central province of Quang Ngai due to environmental pollution. Since 26 May, the locals had gathered in front of the plant to call for a shutdown.

Director of Central Region Cement JSC Trinh Van Dien, investor in the Dai Viet-Dung Quat cement plant, said, “We invited an environmental monitoring team to check the dust concentration and the results are safe. The local Department of Natural Resources and Environment hasn?t reached a conclusion on the noise level yet.”

He added, “We?ve had to temporarily close the plant, meaning we”re losing VND300m (US$13,437) and the 100 workers are kicking their heels at home. I don”t know what to do.”

The ground clearance work should have been done this year but the coal-powered plant project was delayed until 2020. As a result, the ground clearance work has also been delayed.

According to the locals, they want to be compensated for the relocation if the plant stays. “We don?t want to stay. We have to move,” local Nguyen Ne said.
