It goes without saying that working with a technology, engineering construction and manufacturing conglomerate, meant living up to the highest expectations when it came to concrete work. The brief this time was a chimney shell. The reason: a tall chimney is essential to discharge emissions as high as possible so that dispersion takes place in a very large area and reduces the concentration of dust or emission at the ground level, thereby reducing the harmful effects for humans and vegetation.
