Cemex supplies cement for Suez Canal projects

Print this page

Egypt: Cemex is supplying around 0.76Mt of cement to build tunnels underneath the Suez Canal. It is also providing over 0.5Mm3 of concrete for the projects that will link the mainland to the Sinai Peninsula and the development of a commercial seaport. The work is being managed by a joint venture with Orascom Construction and Saudi Arabia’s Osman Ahmed Osman. The two tunnels will extend from the outskirts of Port-Said to the Sinai Peninsula, passing under the Suez Canal. The construction of the two 4km tunnels required the installation of three ready-mix batch plants on site to fulfil the project’s concrete demands.
