Why Our Houston Bulk Cement Terminal Stands Out
If you look at the landscape of the cement industry in Texas and across the U.S., many facilities are aging out. Or, they lack the capacity to handle the growing demand for cement in various applications.
That’s why we filled the gap by building a state-of-the-art facility designed for rapid unloading, seamless loading, and unparalleled storage capacity.
Our terminal is purpose-built to integrate into the building materials supply chain and respond to the growing needs of our customers. Here’s why we’re a trusted partner for distributing cement locally and nationally.
1. Exceptional Bulk Cement Storage and Unloading Capabilities
Our Houston terminal features:
- 250,000 tons of total storage capacity, managed through innovative dome technology and concrete silos. This setup allows for the secure and efficient handling of bulk materials.
- A ship unloader capacity of 1,600 tons per hour, capable of managing shipments up to 40,000 DWT. We ensure fast turnaround times and reliable supply for our customers.
2. Efficient Self-Loading Systems
For local customers picking up cement at the terminal, our facility is equipped with:
- 8 self-service bulk loading lanes, each supported by its own dedicated gravity assisted silo.
- Interconnected silos that feed directly to truck loading lanes, allowing for a seamless experience and minimizing wait times. Drivers can get loaded, get out, and bring the cement to its final destination. We make loading and unloading as simple as possible.
3. Expanded Rail Services
Do you operate outside of Houston and need access to high-quality cement? Reaching inland customers is simpler than ever with our newly expanded railcar loading facility. Here’s how it works:
- Railcars dock at our terminal parking lot, where they’re quickly loaded with bulk cement.
- From our Houston location, we provide direct transportation via rail networks, ensuring access to regions where trucking or shipping may be inefficient or impractical.
Our railcar service is especially beneficial for customers in areas with limited or no cement suppliers nearby, ensuring that you always have a reliable partner in SESCO.
4. Unmatched Availability
SESCO is the only terminal in Houston that operates 24/7, offering you unrivaled flexibility for order fulfillment.
Whether you’re managing sudden project demands or planning large-scale developments with odd hours, our commitment to availability ensures that you’re never left waiting for cement when you need it most.
Meeting the Needs of Bulk Cement Customers
We specialize in delivering Gray and White Portland Cement from our on-site storage silos to meet diverse customer requirements. Here’s how we serve key sectors:
- Readymix Producers benefit from the high compressive strength and quick setting times of our Type I/II Portland cement, ideal for load-bearing concrete structures.
- Manufacturers of precast, cast stone, or admixture products appreciate the consistency and quality of our supply, ensuring flawless product results.
Our ability to respond to large-volume demands while maintaining competitive pricing stems from our efficient import model and commitment to excellence. Through our efficient process, you can enjoy lower transportation costs that support your bottom line on each project.
