Rio Grande Valley of Texas. Upon completion, this wind
farm will have the capacity to generate more than 200
megawatts of energy, enough to power 60,000 homes
on average. In the Helmstadt district of Germany, we
supplied the aggregates, ready-mix concrete, equip-
ment, and expertise required to build the immense
foundations for five high-performance wind turbine
towers. Furthermore, as part of our superior building
solutions, we supplied 50,000 cubic meters of ready-
mix concrete for PGE Arena Stadium in Gdansk, Poland.
In addition to installing a mobile ready-mix concrete-
batching plant at the site to ensure fluid and timely
construction, we provided several types of specialty
ready-mix concrete products, including special architec-
tural self-compacting concrete and decorative ready-
mix concrete.
Led by our Global Center for Technology and Innova-
tion (GCTI) in Switzerland, our researchers design
advanced building materials that fulfill our customers’
increasingly demanding performance requirements.
In 2012, we added Insularis to our portfolio of global
ready-mix concrete brands. This new brand offers
a portfolio of construction solutions and ready-mix
concrete products designed to improve the energy
eciency of buildings. One of the products under
the Insularis brand portfolio offers a 100% structural
lightweight ready-mix concrete solution with superior
thermal insulation that very effectively reduces thermal
bridges and improves acoustic performance. Another
important feature of Insularis ready-mix concretes is
their fresh properties, including self-compacting, high
workability retention of at least 90 minutes, and ease
of pumping. These qualities are made possible due to
tailor-designed proprietary admixture technologies.

This state-of-the-art soccer stadium
hosted several games of the UEFA
EURO 2012 Poland-Ukraine
championship.
We also continue to work with some of the top archi-
tects in the world to fashion creative new spaces. In
Spain, we provided over 7,000 tons of specialty white
cement for the expansion of the Conference and Exhi-
bition Center in Seville. Renowned architect Guillermo
Vázquez Consuegra designed this flexible, multiple use
expansion, which consists of an inventive new audi-
torium, parking lot, and external areas. In Montpellier,
France, we supplied specialty self-compacting concrete
for the Eurêka Centre, an architecturally advanced
multi-service building complex designed by Rudy Ric-
ciotti, the 2006 winner of France’s Grand Prix National
d’ Architecture. The complex utilizes the aesthetic
qualities of CEMEX Advanci® Architectonique concretes
in an innovative concept that combines landscaped of-
fices, accommodations, and shared living spaces. These
are just a few examples of the myriad projects around
the world for which we are providing our innovative
building solutions.
