Solid Cement advances US$323m expansion

Philippines-based Solid Cement Corp, part of Cemex Holding Philippines, will finally move forward with its long-delayed capacity expansion despite the rise in cost from US$235m to US$323m.

Principal contractors to the project will be Atlantic Gulf and Pacific Co of Manila Inc and Betonbau Philippines Inc.

The plant is scheduled to come online in April 2024.
