Guanacaste is the country’s largest province and a hub for tourism. This project is expected to have a strong effect on regional and national development as it helps to increase tourism and the country’s competitiveness in transportation infrastructure.
“We are very proud to be able to collaborate in projects that seek to have a significant impact on the growth and prosperity of Costa Rica,” says Roberto Pongutá, Cemex country manager in Costa Rica.
“By providing innovative world-class building solutions, we truly hope to help build a better future for the people of Costa Rica.”
Cemex’s Colorado de Abangares plant in Guanacaste is producing custom-made cement for the highway’s contractor, Constructora FCC. The cement is especially engineered to have higher resistance and is fortified with puzolana, reducing heat island effect and helping to avoid cracking by contraction.
