CEMEX supplies low-carbon concrete for a French public school

As part of the concrete supplied, CEMEX delivered more than 4700 m³ of Vertua classic low-carbon concrete for structural elements such as the entrance porch, the V-shaped pillars supporting the buildings, the ground floor, and the slabs and pillars of some buildings.

In addition, CEMEX delivered over 1100 m³ of light grey architectural concrete for the construction of the walls of several buildings, some of which are up to 3 m high. Bouygues Construction, the company in charge of the structural works, used CEMEX Go, the company's digital platform, to order all the concrete and monitor its delivery in real-time. This digital tool optimised the site's organisation, which was essential given the tight deadlines.

The objective was to create a group of buildings capable of accommodating 750 students in the short term, then 900 in the medium term, thanks to a modular construction system. The mix of wood and concrete materials is particularly prominent in this new public building.
