Lanwa Sanstha Cement Plant in Mirijjawila Export Processing Zone (EPZ) is to be connected with the Hambantota International Port (HIP).
Lanwa Sanstha Cement Corporation (Pvt.) Ltd. signed two agreements with Hambantota International Port Group (Pvt.) Ltd. (HIPG) recently for the Lanwa Sanstha Cement Plant in Mirijjawila EPZ to be connected with the HIP via a 2.4 km conveyor belt.
Lanwa Sanstha Cement Chairman Nandana Lokuwithana said: “This plant is the first of its kind in Sri Lanka, utilising cutting-edge European technology to yield optimum outcomes while being environmentally conscious through continuous monitoring. We are delighted that we have been able to collaborate with HIPG to take the manufacturing process to the next level. Also, we hope that this would be a positive inception for the benefit of the construction industry of our motherland.”
The agreements also grant a licence to Lanwa Sanstha Cement to operate two ship unloaders owned by Lanwa in the jetty area allocated to Lanwa Sanstha Cement. The conveyor belt dedicated for transportation of raw material from port to plant with increased efficiency assures no wastage and zero pollution, which sets the precedent for other enterprises ]in manufacturing to preserve nature by working smarter as well. An environmentally friendly, dust free, overhead enclosed conveyor belt could transport 1,200 tonnes (T) per hour. A ship with the capacity of 60,000 T could be unloaded within three days with the state-of-the-art infrastructure. The production capacity of the plant is estimated to be three million metric tonnes (MT) per annum.
Lanwa Sanstha Cement is a 100% local investment, and a Board of Investments Sri Lanka (BOI) venture. One of the highlights of the facility would be the emphasis on latest technology, where all mixing will be carried out with latest European technology while many other equipment used throughout the production process have been customised by the world-renowned pioneers in innovation. Packaging is done using state-of-the-art technology for improved efficiency and minimal wastage.
HIPG is a public-private partnership and a strategic development project between the Government of Sri Lanka and China Merchants Port Holdings (CM Port). It is incorporated as a private limited liability company under the laws of Sri Lanka. HIPG’s parent company CM Port is the largest and a globally competitive public port developer, investor, and operator in China.
The manufacturing facility features a fully automated stacker reclaimer yard and two bridge type ship unloaders, a breakthrough in cargo handling, shifting from labour-intensive to tech-oriented aligning local industry with global trends. Lanwa Sanstha Cement will have a storage capacity the equivalent of three cargo ships. All these features are new to Sri Lanka and only available at a handful such facilities regionally.
Lanwa Sanstha Cement is expected to meet the requirements of all major construction projects locally, including Port City and Expressways once commissioned, manufacturing the entire gamut of blended cement products including Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC), Portland Slag Cement (PSC), Portland Limestone Cement (PLC), and Blended Hydraulic Cement (BHC).
Lanwa Sanstha Cement (Pvt.) Ltd. is a sister company of Sri Lanka’s foremost manufacturer of steel, Ceylon Steel Corporation Ltd., which manufactures a host of products including QT bars, hot dipped galvanised pipes (GI pipes), box bars, round tubes, wire nails, ms rods, purlins, and meshes under the Lanwa brand.
A respected entrepreneur of international standing, the Lanwa Sanstha Cement Corporation (Pvt.) Ltd. Chairman Nandana Lokuwithana also heads the Ceylon Steel Corporation Ltd., Onyx Group in the UAE, Marriot Al Jadaf Hotel in Dubai, Marangoni Industrial Tyres Lanka (Pvt.)
