Cemex US Supports Urgent Infrastructure Repair in Alabama
DEMOPOLIS, Ala., Sept. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Cemex announced it has contributed to the successful repair of the Demopolis Lock and Dam on the Tombigbee River. Operated by the Army Corps of Engineers, the project restored the functionality of the dam, which serves as a crucial artery for commercial navigation in the Southern United States, connecting the Tennessee River to the Mobile Bay and the Gulf of Mexico.
阿拉巴馬州德莫波利斯,2024年9月4日 /PRNewswire/ — 今天,Cemex宣佈爲Tombigbee河上的Demopolis船閘和大壩的成功修復做出了貢獻。該項目由陸軍工程兵團運營,恢復了大壩的功能,該大壩是美國南部商業航行的重要動脈,連接田納西河與莫比爾灣和墨西哥灣。
A failure of the upper miter sill not only rendered the dam unusable but also resulted in the rerouting of commerce, severely impacting businesses and communities across the region. Recognizing the urgency and significance of the project, Cemex collaborated to supply more than 2,000 cubic yards of Vertua concrete to expedite the repair process.
上斜坡的故障不僅使大壩無法使用,而且還導致商業路線的改變,嚴重影響了該地區的企業和社區。認識到該項目的緊迫性和重要性,Cemex合作供應了超過2,000立方碼的Vertua混凝土,以加快維修過程。
The project presented several challenges, including weather conditions, stringent temperature control requirements for underwater concrete pours and highly detailed product mix designs to ensure durability and longevity in underwater conditions. The complexity of the project necessitated the deployment of divers for on-site monitoring during placements. Despite the challenges, Cemex ensured the successful completion of the project without any injuries.
該項目帶來了多項挑戰,包括天氣條件、對水下混凝土澆注的嚴格溫度控制要求以及爲確保水下條件下的耐用性和使用壽命而進行的高度詳細的產品組合設計。該項目的複雜性要求在安置期間部署潛水員進行現場監測。儘管面臨挑戰,但Cemex仍確保該項目成功完成,沒有造成任何人員傷亡。
"Fortifying the repair of the Demopolis Lock and Dam exemplifies our commitment to supporting vital infrastructure and economic development in the communities we serve," said Marc Tyson, Cemex U.S. Regional President – Mid-South Region. "Through collaboration, innovation, and relentless dedication to quality, we were able to overcome challenges and deliver concrete solutions that restore critical infrastructure and facilitate commerce."
