CEMENT RAW MATERIALS
Cement plants are highly capital intensive. The construction of new plant costs about £10 million for each 100 000 tonnes per year of cement capacity. Large modern plants can, therefore, cost over £100 million. Ongoing capital investment at individual plants can also typically amount to several million pounds a year.
