- Additionally, CBE is to supply six sets of segment moulds and a carousel precast plant to Consorcio Aldesem/Recsa/Proaconfor, the joint venture contractor for construction of the Emisor Poniente 2, a storm water drainage tunnel in Mexico. The 5.5km tunnel, with an i.d. of 7.7m, will have the capacity to handle 202m3/s and will run parallel to the existing drainage tunnel in the west of Mexico Valley, helping to reduce the risk of flooding in the Atizapán de Zaragoza, Tlalnepantla and Naucalpan municipalities.
- Another water scheme, the Kani Sib Water Tunnel in the Iranian province of Kurdistan, will be supplied by CBE with seven sets of moulds and a stationary precast plant. The precast concrete rings will have an o.d. of 6m, a thickness of 250mm and a width of 1.5m. Each ring will comprise three standard, two counter-key and one key-stone.
- Four more sets of moulds with an o.d. of 13.6m are to be shipped to the Liantang-Heung Yuen Wai Boundary Control Point project in Hong Kong for construction of a bidirectional two-lane trunk road.
- The CBE Group, which has a presence in 40 countries and an export ratio of almost 95% of its total €25 million annual turnover, recently announced contract wins to supply the Anacostia River tunnel in Washington DC and the new subway extension in Rennes, France. It also supplied segment moulds for the world record 17.48m diameter Alaskan Way Viaduct Replacement tunnel in Seattle, USA.
