Carlos Emilio Gonzalez, president of Cemex Dominicana, announced yesterday, Thursday 28 August 2014, that the company’s cement will have been used for around half a million square meters of highway pavement this year. He said that while this is just a small portion of the pavement of the country, prospects are for growth in sales.
“I am sure that there will be more cement roads,” he said. Cemex promotes the use of cement based self-compacting material for its durability, safety and reduced environmental impact. Gonzalez said it was a long-term investment. “I think the country cannot have the luxury of having to repair a highway and having to do so three or four years later because of the rains,” he said.
Gonzalez was speaking during a launch event for Evolution Eco, a new self-compacting reinforced concrete product.
