Beijing Construction Engineering Group (BCEG) has commissioned its new, full-scale precast production facility in Jubail, Saudi Arabia.

The new BCEG facility features a Spancrete GT-120 hollow-core production system equipped with 12 casting lines capable of producing floor and roof slabs, as well as insulated and non-insulated wall panels in a variety of exterior finishes.

The Spancrete production system will help BCEG build 1,000 residential villas in Jubail for Saudi Basic Industries Corporation (Sabic), which is building these units, along with additional units in Yanbu, in order to provide its employees the opportunity to own their own homes.

“The Spancrete GT-120 provides a high-volume, durable production solution that is an ideal fit for projects like the Sabic residential project,” said Terry Dittrich, international sales manager for Spancrete Global Services. “We are proud to be a part of a solution that will make a difference in the lives of nearly 1,000 Sabic employees and their families.”

The US-based Spancrete was founded in 1946 and is recognised as both the industry pioneer and the world leader in the design, manufacture and distribution of precast, prestressed concrete products and solutions. The company also develops and distributes the equipment that produces precast, prestressed concrete, worldwide.
