Explaining TRT News about activities of Bartın Concrete Plant, Governor Güner emphasizes that Roller Compacted Concrete Road (RCC) application is much more economic than current applications and therefore it is important to roll out such projects across the country. He says “Instead of asphalt, RCC application allows us to make budget savings up to 39%. Also, uncertainties surrounding the bitumen prices during the year, and the price difference between summer and winter interrupts the applicability of the asphalt road.”
In addition to the Concrete Road applications, Bartın Special Provincial Administration is the sole Special Provincial administration which operates a Concrete Plant in Turkey. This plant provides Bartın Special Provincial Administration with savings up to 50% in Concrete Road manufacturing resulting in roads up to two times more with the same budget.
Thinking administrations which can produce its own concrete, it is possible to identify one year of cement need in advance and make the production without any price differences and as a result complete the projects as planned. The Concrete Plant sets off its investment cost just in one year.
Lastly, Governor Güner states that thanks to their own plants 1 square meter of Concrete Tile can be produced with costs of 37% less than market, therefore they, Bartin city, choose to build their own production facilities.
