• . Raw meal silo: D21m and height up to 73.40 m
• . Clinker silo: D36m and height of 38.90 m
• . Cement silo: D26.9m and height of 46.4 m
• . Cyclone preheater tower: H ~100 m, ~ 3,800m3 concrete, ~ 410 tons of steel
• . Packing plant: H ~ 30 m, 5,300 m3 concrete, ~ 700 tons of steel
• . Dust filter: H ~ 22 m, ~ 1,300 m3 concrete, ~ 170 tons of steel
• . Cement milling plant: H ~ 43 m , ~ 2,400 m3 concrete, 200 tons of steel
