Team Overview

The Projects Team operates almost as a separate engineering and construction arm, mostly handling SESCO Cement's capital projects.

Our dynamic team is committed to providing excellent engineering, procurement, and construction services to SESCO. We strive for top quality to ensure SESCO's development is successful.

The type of projects the team works on ranges from full marine terminal design/procurement/construction, to planning and building out a network of satellite rail/barge terminals, to smaller scale expansions to each of the existing facilities.
