CEMEX has announced that it is participating in the construction of the world’s largest and deepest diving pool: “Deepspot”, built near the capital of Poland, Warsaw. CEMEX supplies special cement for the realisation of this complex project.
CEMEX supplies special cement from its plant in Rudniki, near Cz?stochowa, for the implementation of the “Deepspot” project. With the use of this cement, the construction contractor, the company BUDOKRUSZ, produces two kinds of structural concrete for the construction of the foundation plate of this installation. This type of cement works properly in the manufacture of concrete elements and structures for hydrotechnical construction, as well as in the production of concrete for underground construction.
“This extraordinary project poses a series of challenges for suppliers and contractors of materials in terms of quality of products and technologies. An important challenge is also related to logistics for the delivery of materials to the construction site on time, as the Rudniki cement plant is almost 200 km from the construction site. We are proud to be part of the “Deepspot” project with our special slag-based cement CEM III / A 42.5 N NA LH HSR, which offers low alkalinity, low heat of hydration, high sulfate resistance and lower CO2 footprint. Its remarkable characteristics and high quality make it a perfect product for this type of challenging construction” said Rafa? Gajewski, Director of Commercial Development of CEMEX in Poland.
The advanced design of the pool will allow a perfect adjustment of the installation to the training needs of the divers. The pool will have a depth of 45 metres and capacity for 8,000 cubic metres of water, 27 times more water than a standard 25 metre pool. In addition, the complex will have a special underwater tunnel that will allow visitors to observe people training at greater depths. “Deepspot” will be available to anyone interested, but above all it will become a real attraction for both professional and beginner divers, as well as for lovers of the so-called free diving. The “Deepspot” is scheduled to open in autumn 2019 in Mszczonow, near Warsaw.
