CEMEX was the exclusive supplier of lightweight concrete
for the new Concourse 3 project at Terminal 3 of Dubai
International Airport. The company supplied over 10,500
m³ for the concourse which is intended for the sole use
of Emirates Airlines and will become the largest facility
dedicated to double-deck aircrafts in the world.
When completed later this year, the 528,000 m² concourse
will house two hotels, first-class and business-class
lounges, and shops and increase the airport's annual
passenger capacity to 80 million.
CEMEX was awarded the supply contract due in large part to
an extensive successful track record with Dubai Civil
Aviation, the project client, including major concrete
supplies at Jebel Ali (Maktoum) Airport and Terminal 3's
Concourse 2 at Dubai International Airport. Concreting for
the current concourse began in December 2009 and is
currently at the finishing stages.
For this project, CEMEX engineered a special light weight
concrete mix design, using a proprietary engineered,
environmentally friendly aggregate which carries the
notable benefits of reduced mass as well as superior color,
strength, and consistency. This mix has the versatility to
be used in both slabs and structural elements, and was also
designed to enhance various durability criteria, such as
chemical resistance, permeability reduction and fire
resistance.
CEMEX in the UAE maintains a loyal and sophisticated
customer base in the two main urban markets of Dubai, and
the capital Abu Dhabi. This thanks in part to a large
portfolio of highly innovative concrete solutions offered
by the company to its clients. CEMEX is proud to provide
building solutions for major projects such as Concourse 3
of Terminal 3 at Dubai International Airport.
