Holcim US are currently constructing a new 116-foot cement storage dome in Nebraska, United States.

This $20.5 million investment will bolster the supply chain for residential, commercial, and industrial projects, focusing on sustainable building practices.

The new storage facility will house and distribute Holcim’s innovative ‘ECOPlanet’ cement, which uses natural pozzolans instead of traditional Portland cement to lower carbon emissions.

Construction of the dome began in 2021, boasting a 50,000-ton storage capacity.

The development of this new site comes after the booming construction activity in the local area.

Patrick J. Cleary, Senior Vice President of Cement Sales at Holcim US was stated that the region was “experiencing an influx of construction projects, with new infrastructure being introduced every day.”

The $20.5 million investment in the Fremont storage dome will help improve the availability of sustainable cement option, support local economies, and drive forward the construction industry’s sustainability agenda.
