“Cemex’s purpose of building a better future comes to life when we participate in projects that improve people’s quality of life, particularly in the area of health services, in the communities in which we serve,” said Jaime Muguiro, President of Cemex USA. “Not only are we providing expert logistics and resilient materials, but we are also providing an alternative to lower the carbon footprint of the project with our more sustainable solutions.”

Supplying concrete for the tower’s foundation had several logistical challenges that Cemex collaborated with contractor Vaughn Construction to solve. The massive pour had to happen in the middle of the busy medical center without interrupting surrounding emergency services. Cemex was able to pour safely for 20 continuous hours without affecting access to the medical center.
