The concrete supply contract of
Cementos Portland Valderrivas
in Tunisia increases significantly
The Tunisian company Select Béton, a sub-
sidiary of Société Ciments d’Enfidha , a Ce-
mentos Portland Valderrivas Group com-
pany, increases one of its major concrete
supply contracts in Tunisia for the cons-
truction of the third phase of the combined
cycle plant (natural gas) at Sousse Sidi Ab-
delhamid, situated 140 kilometres south of
the capital.
The sum of the contract increased 80%
from 1.85 million to 3.38 Dinars (equiva-
b u s i n e s s
lent to 1.66 million Euros), which implies
the supply of an additional 14,000 m3 of
concrete.
The contract was executed by the Tunisian
company Services SNC-Lavalin, owned by
a Canadian engineering and construction
Group. The combined cycle plant, being
built for the State company Société Tuni-
sienne d’Electricité et du Gaz (STEG), pre-
viously had installed capacity of 600 me-
gawatts (Mw).
Cementos Portland Valderrivas develops its
concrete business in Tunisia through Select
Béton, a wholly owned affiliate of Société
des Ciments d’Enfidha, a subsidiary of the
Spanish Group.
Select Béton operates four plants in three
locations in Tunisia Ben Arous, Bouficha
and Sousse. This last company is the one
responsible for supplying concrete for the
construction of the combined cycle plant.
