Holcim Ecuador overcame a series of logistical and sustainability challenges to improve roads on the remote Galápagos Islands. The end result meets the highest environmental standards, benefitting both residents and tourists. The project is the perfect interplay between innovation, performance and sustainability.
Like ports on Mediterranean islands, Athinios is small and struggling to cope with the heavy traffic of Santorini’s thriving tourist industry. The rebuilding project, awarded to construction company Eretvo S.A., must therefore be carried out at different stages to ensure the facility can be operational at all times. To ensure minimal disruption, submerged caisson technology is being used for the new quay, using ready-mix concrete provided by our Greek subsidiary Heracles.
