The 26th July marked the long-awaited start of the sports competitions of the Paris 2024 Games!
Cemex is proud to celebrate this global event by highlighting the large contribution of Cemex to several key infrastructures. Among them: the Olympic Aquatic Center in Saint-Denis, venue for artistic swimming, diving and water polo events. Then the Grand Palais, host of fencing and taekwondo competitions as well as the Athletes’ Village, place of residence for athletes.
For the projects located in Paris region, teams in France mobilised nine ready-mixed concrete plants, providing 90,000 m³ of concrete to 11 major sites, while continuing to serve our other customers with the same rigor. We have also delivered infrastructure in the province, which are training places for athletes: a skatepark in Montpellier, a rowing pool and a stud in Normandy as well as an aquatic center in the North of France.
Cemex provided Vertua® low-carbon concrete, recycled aggregates and innovative logistics solutions for these iconic projects. These projects embody our commitment to sustainable construction and a better future. They are not only technical achievements, but also symbols of our contribution to a legacy for the host territories.
The games will end this Sunday 11th August with the closing ceremony in Paris.
