We are excited to kick off 2025 with a major announcement – Shimizu has awarded BEC the construction contract for the Taiheiyo Cement Silo Project in Calaca, Batangas, Philippines!
This project marks a significant milestone for BEC, further strengthening our presence in the cement industry across the Philippines. We are thrilled to add this important project to our portfolio, joining the major works we’ve completed over the years with leading cement manufacturers such as Republic Cement, Northern Cement, and CEMEX.
As part of our ongoing commitment to engineering excellence, this project will see the construction of prestressed concrete silos, an essential component in the cement industry. The scope of the project also involves the fabrication of 200T of steelwork for the silo roof and other structures. Our design department is actively engaged in managing the development of shop drawings, including those for the slipform rig and rebar (BBS).
A critical component of the project will be preparing and deploying two slipform rigs, which are essential for ensuring efficient construction when site works begin in May 2025.
Stay tuned for further updates as we continue to make progress on the Taiheiyo Cement Silo Project and finalise the details with our suppliers and team members.
