A pier is a fixed platform, commonly seated on piles, parallel to a navigable watercourse, where ships load and unload. They often serve as temporary storage areas. Holcim has taken part in the construction of several port works with the production of special cements and concretes for the port structures of Bananapuerto, extensions of Puerto Bolivar, the Manta Port, and currently provides its contingent in the works of the Deep-waters Port of Posorja.
A pile is a type of deep foundation. The piles can be made of wood, steel or concrete for a structure. Vertical piles are the most common form, usually needed for the foundation of bridges, piers, and buildings. Holcim has produced special concretes for the piloting of dozens of buildings in Malecón de Guayaquil, Puerto Santa Ana, Manta, bridges such as the Guayaquil - Samborondón, Puente de la Unidad Nacional, among others.
A bridge is a structure built to traverse a gap, valley, road, railroad, river, body of water, or any other physical obstacle. A bridge Design may vary depending on the function of the bridge and the nature of the terrain where the bridge is built. Holcim has produced special concretes for the substructures and superstructures of bridges such as the Guayaquil Bridge - Samborondón, Puente de la Unidad National, among others.
Water treatment and water treatment plants are a set of unitary operation systems of physical, chemical or biological type. The purpose to eliminate or reduce pollution or undesirable characteristics of water through the equipment, they could be natural, supplied, by process or residual.
We currently participate in the supply of special concrete produced with HS type cement in La Pradera Treatment Plant.
In coastal engineering, coastal protection refers to structures built on the coasts as part of the coastal defense or to protect an anchorage from the effects of weather and tidal waves.
Holcim Ecuador participated in the production of the coastal protection blocks at the Crucita artisanal fishing pier with concretes with high resistance to sulphate attack.
A stabilized base can be made with soil from the place or imported granular material plus cement. The stabilized soil with cement involves a dry mix of soil with a certain granulometric characteristics and Holcim cement.
A certain amount of water is added to the mixture for its setting and later compaction. A number of stabilized bases with cement has installed Holcim, both on roads and the General Vernaza-Bebo highway, as well as container yards in CONTECON (Puerto Maritimo de Guayaquil), Highway to Mi Lote and currently delivers Type MH cement solutions for the “Puerto de Aguas Profundas de Posorja” port.
Mining is the extraction of valuable minerals or other geological materials from the ground, usually (not always) from a mine, or vein. Holcim is currently participating in the provision of cement type HE for the production of shotcrete for the tunnels of the Fruta del Norte project.
