It’s a CEMEX Solution that allows fast, efficient, and large-scale construction through the combination of innovative products and processes.

The key element is the use of formwork molds for walls and slabs, which guarantee the project’s completion in an efficient way and the capability to move quicker to the sale stage.

ADVANTAGES

• Reduction in construction time by using special products and formwork in walls and slabs
• Less time to recover investment
• Savings in labor force; less people to perform the work
• Major improvement in quality: quality control of inputs, better supervision of processes, standardization of geometry
• Reduction of time in homes deliveries
• Savings on finishes and rework
• Savings in materials storage

ATTRIBUTES

• Resilient to Natural Disasters
• Less Waste at Construction Site
• Significantly Reduces Construction Time

CEMEX provides rational and efficient off-site manufacturing processes that ensure flexibility and adaptability for all construction requirements.

In precast construction, building elements are developed at special plants in an automated or semi-automated production process and then delivered for erection on-site.

Through this process, on-site quality concerns are reduced, enabling shorter construction times.

ADVANTAGES

• Just-in-time production
• Precise prefabrication with individual geometries
• Smooth surface finishes, ready for wallpaper and painting
• Fast building process in a constant high quality
• Pre-installations (e.g., tubing for electrical wiring, plug sockets, heat conducting pipes, and openings) reduce construction time
• Adaptability to almost all customer’s specifications
• Less on-site supervision by main contractor

ATTRIBUTES

• Easily Adapted to Construction and Design Requirements
• Resilient to Natural Disasters
• Less Waste at Construction Site
• Significantly Reduces Construction Time

CEMEX has an immediate response capacity to rebuild an enhance the number and quality of houses at natural disaster sites.

CEMEX’s solution prioritizes the provision of decent, safe, and sanitary housing, with an emphasis on housing design and materials to reduce maintenance and insurance costs. The scope of intervention also includes site infrastructure construction. CEMEX’s disaster relief housing designs are resistant to hurricanes, earthquakes, and tornadoes.

ADVANTAGES

• Exterior walls withstand high temperatures without igniting
• Housing able to withstand winds in excess of 200 miles per hour
• Passive cooling/heating strategies due to the location and alignment of doors and windows
• Greater discounts on insurance costs if risk mitigation is considered adequate for natural disasters
• Solid and insulated roof decks prepared for accept vertical expansions
