Cement is not just a construction material; it is a statement of intent. In Part 3 of this article, Cahya Mata Sarawak Berhad (CMS) illustrated how its greener cement solutions are deployed in major infrastructure projects across Malaysia, demonstrating real-world viability and long-term sustainability.
From the Petronas Twin Towers and KLIA to the Malaysia–Singapore Second Link and Johor’s waterfront developments, blended cement has played a vital role in some of the nation’s most iconic buildings. These large-scale projects prove that low-carbon materials are not only practical but critical for future-ready infrastructure.
CMS’s Portland Limestone Cement (PLC) is available in various strength grades to match specific project demands:
- Eco (32.5 N): Ideal for residential work, masonry, and walkways.
- Eco-Plus (42.5 N): Suitable for commercial buildings, precast elements, and roads.
- Deluxe (52.5 N): Designed for heavy infrastructure and high-performance foundations.
- Klasik (42.5 N): Used for structural concrete and industrial projects.
Beyond performance, PLC offers multiple environmental benefits. Reducing clinker content through finely ground limestone cuts CO₂ emissions by up to 15% compared to OPC. It also forms denser, more durable concrete structures, thanks to creating C-S-H (calcium silicate hydrate) layers during hydration.
These innovations support Malaysia’s green building goals and Sarawak’s transition to a green economy under PCDS 2030. CMS is not just responding to sustainability trends but also helping lead them with technology, materials, and a vision rooted in long-term impact.
As the construction sector continues to evolve, CMS’s greener cement solutions stand as a foundation for projects that are as environmentally responsible as they are structurally sound.
