Project Description

It is about establishing a factory for cement products (ready-mix concrete – cement blocks – interlocking – kerbstone), where the project produces ready-mix concrete and cement blocks. It is a heterogeneous mixture of sand, gravel, cement and water, and some other materials (additives) can be added to obtain certain properties. The proportions of these materials in the concrete mixture are chosen according to the type of work required and the available materials. By mixing these materials together, concrete is obtained that begins to harden gradually over time until it becomes solid and strong, and its strength varies according to the basic components as well as according to the mixing method during pouring and the type of processing in terms of adding chemical enhancers. The idea of the project comes from the continuous demand for cement products and the huge boom in various industrial and housing fields due to development and urban renaissance in which the construction field needs ready-mix concrete, which made the demand for this project increasing, and because the raw materials needed for it are available, namely cement, sand, gravel and other additives, it increases the chances of stabilizing its production processes. The project aims to meet the requirements and needs of the region due to the large urban development and to benefit from all the elements of sustainable development. The project products are all types of ready-mix concrete and cement blocks. The project targets the local market (contracting companies – real estate investment companies – contractors – the Ministry of Municipal and Rural Affairs – and municipalities). The necessary expertise is also provided to manage and operate the project and production lines, which achieves the ability to continue and meet the increasing demand for ready-mix concrete products and compete with local producers of ready-mix concrete and cement blocks by providing the best production lines in the field of mixing ready-mix concrete and blocks from central mixers, mobile mixers, concrete pumps, block production lines, loaders and conveyors to facilitate the process of transporting the product.

Advantages of ready-mix concrete:

Higher quality due to the ability to mix materials accurately and undergo accurate laboratory testing before selling them to the customer.
Get the most amount of concrete in a short time.
The possibility of pumping through central stations using a compressor that reaches the top of the towers.
It is more economical compared to those that rely on site workers.
The site is clean after pouring operations.
Does not affect the environment.

Cement block: It is a brick of different sizes and is used in the process of building walls and partitions and in building industrial cities and establishing infrastructure. It is characterized by its hardness, durability and sound insulation. It is also one of the basics in the construction process. Interlock: Interlocking tiles are a type of tiles in the form of geometric shapes of chemically treated concrete that are installed by interlocking or overlapping. They are concrete tiles that are laid without using cement mortar, but are installed directly on the compacted sand. The reason for this is that they are interlocked and rely on their weight for balance and lack of movement. The tiles overlap with each other so that they can be removed and reinstalled when needed to dig under them without being damaged or broken. They are made in various shapes and colors. Interlocking tiles withstand high pressures and loads of 250: 300 kg / cm2 and it is possible to implement a bearing force of 400: 450 kg / cm2. The thickness of the piece ranges from 4-8 cm according to the request and according to the required use and pressure. Its high resistance to corrosion is less than 0.5 mm with a low water absorption rate of less than 4%, which makes it suitable for standard applications. The most important feature of interlocking is the great diversity in its shapes, which gives an opportunity for creativity in floor design.
