The real estate company, Sky Capital, will be in charge of building the tallest skyscraper in the Mexican southeast, The Sky, an intelligent building that will be completed in 2023. It will be a mixed-use project 160 meters high, with 36 floors, six levels of parking and 20 elevators.

The tower will have commercial areas, restaurants, offices, medical and corporate offices and a terrace.

To carry out its preparation, a multidisciplinary team was formed that includes the best construction and engineering companies, since construction implies technical challenges.

In this sense, the construction represents great challenges for the elaboration of the core of the tower. Due to the high temperatures in Mérida, it will be necessary to develop a material that guarantees temperature control.

CEMEX will be the company in charge of the design and supply of a new product that will work for the foundation of the tower where the material will focus on maintaining a heat of hydration below 75 degrees Celsius in the casting process of the 1,300 cubic meters.

Therefore, 800 tons of special cement will be transported from the State of Mexico to Mérida, traveling 1,350 kilometers.

Added to this, it will be necessary to transport 50 tons of raw materials with pressurized pipes. Therefore, 16 round trips will have to be made to move the material.

“Coordinating a logistics and transportation operation that involves the supply of 1,300 m³ of concrete is a sign of the permanent commitment of all of us who work in this company. We are proud to be part of this emblematic construction for Mérida”, assured Luis Franco, Vice President of Service to Builders of CEMEX Mexico.
