SARASOTA
COUNTY, Fla., June 20,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Cemex announced Vertua®, its
portfolio of sustainable products, is now available in Florida. Establishing the foundation for
thousands of new homes in Sarasota
County, Florida, this tremendous residential project
showcases Cemex's commitment to environmental responsibility and
advancing the construction industry toward a more resilient
future.
Cemex was recruited by Rockwell Construction to fortify the
homes with its Vertua® lower-carbon concrete in Brightmore, a
subdivision of Mattamy Homes' master-planned community Wellen Park. Mattamy Homes is the largest
privately-owned homebuilder in North
America. This collaboration underscores the shared goal of
minimizing environmental impact while delivering high-quality
construction solutions, making it an ideal choice for a variety of
sustainable construction projects. Concrete is the most used
man-made material in the world and plays an essential role in
society's development and growth. The use of concrete is crucial
for storm protection as its strength and durability make it ideal
for withstanding severe weather conditions, including heavy rains,
high winds and flooding.
"We are thrilled to bring Vertua® to Florida and collaborate on Mattamy Homes' new
residential endeavor in Sarasota
County," said Jeff Bobolts,
Cemex U.S. Regional President – East Region. "This product
represents a significant leap forward in sustainable construction,
helping set a higher standard for environmentally responsible
building practices not only in the region, but throughout the
country."
Using Vertua® in such significant projects accelerates Cemex's
Future in Action program, which focuses on developing lower-carbon
products, solutions, and processes to become a net-zero CO2
company. By incorporating advanced technology and sustainable
practices, Cemex has achieved a remarkable reduction in its carbon
footprint without compromising on strength, durability, or
performance. This project sets a precedent for future developments,
demonstrating that sustainable construction is not just a choice
but a necessity to building a better future.
