Applying technology to support sustainable development

Colombia-based Cementos Argos is a multi-national leader in the cement and concrete markets. The company chose GEOVIA mining software to help meet its sustainability goals, grow the business and generate social value.

For any society to be successful, prosperous and inclusive, it needs cement and concrete — the literal building blocks of the world we live and work in today. Modern infrastructure and construction depend upon them.

As a major producer of cement and concrete based in 16 countries, Cementos Argos knows it has a fundamental responsibility: to make sure that it mines its raw materials, and manufactures its end products, in ways that reduce their impact on the environment and increase the benefits for both people and communities.

Cementos Argos believes that the creation of virtual universes is an essential tool both to help the company become more sustainable and to ensure it will reach its goal of making each new building grow responsibly.

They have used GEOVIA solutions for over 10 years to evolve and implement, in the area of geology and mining, all the techniques and procedures to model their deposits and strategically plan their operations, which has helped the company to meet production goals, and increase savings in more than 10% on the cost per ton put into crushing.
