643 CEMEX has announced its participation in the expansion and optimisation of the ‘El Salitre’ Wastewater Treatment Plant, located on the outskirts of Bogotá, Colombia.

The Mexican global sector giant expects to supply over 290,000 cubic meters of concrete for this project, which will contribute to the decontamination of the Bogotá River, the main river in the Andean Colombian savannah.

Since October 2017, CEMEX has provided building materials for the construction of the plant’s piles, slabs, tank walls, and piled walls. Built with low and very low permeability concretes, the facility’s tanks have 40-centimetre (cm)-thick walls with a 7cm coating that are designed to withstand the most aggressive environment.

“We are proud of our contribution to a project that will potentially benefit the whole country,” said Juan Carlos Muñoz, vice president of builders solutions of CEMEX in Colombia. “Our customer service, experience, and high-quality materials are for the benefit of Colombia, enabling us to build a better future together.”
