When your construction projects demand large volumes of Portland Cement to mix at the job site, every minute counts.
Delays at the loading terminal often translate to falling behind schedule and increased costs. That’s why SESCO Cement engineered our Houston terminal specifically to eliminate the typical frustrations of buying cement in bulk quantities.
We created a streamlined, driver-friendly experience that keeps your operations running smoothly. Our 24/7 self-service terminal for bulk orders means your drivers can load up anytime – day or night – without dealing with complex procedures.
Plus, our team is available around the clock at the terminal if drivers run into any issues. Time is money in construction, so learn how we intentionally designed our operations to support your company’s needs.
Self-Service Loading That Works Around Your Schedule
Our bulk cement terminal features four self-service truck loading lanes, each connected to our buffer silo system that holds 400 tons per silo. This setup ensures consistent material flow and eliminates the downtime that often plagues other terminals.
Here’s what makes our process different: drivers receive specific pickup instructions, pass through the front gate, and proceed directly to the loading lanes. No paperwork hassles, no waiting for personnel, no complicated procedures. The entire system is automated, fed continuously from our five storage domes with 140,000 tons of capacity.
One driver who picks up cement from SESCO on a regular basis explains the difference: “SESCO always tries to help, and they’re very kind. Other plants are rude about the ordering process, but SESCO has very nice people who’ve helped me orient myself.”
Built for Efficiency, Designed for Drivers
Our terminal infrastructure prioritizes speed and reliability. The ship unloader operates at 1,600 tons per hour, ensuring our storage domes stay stocked. The interconnected buffer silo system feeds directly from storage to loading lanes, maintaining consistent material availability even during peak demand periods.
For readymix and admixture companies, this reliability means cement is available when your drivers arrive. No more calling ahead to check stock levels or worrying about material shortages that could shut down job sites.
The loading process itself reflects our commitment to a positive driver experience. We have clear signage that guides trucks to the correct entrance. This way, your drivers won’t spend precious time circling the facility trying to find an entrance.
Once on-site, a guard directs traffic to the appropriate loading locations, and our dispatch team is ready to provide support if needed.
Why Drivers Enjoy Working With SESCO
The difference between SESCO and other cement terminals becomes clear in daily operations. Our family-run business model allows for on-the-spot decision-making and rapid response to issues. When problems arise, we can adapt quickly without navigating corporate bureaucracy.
Drivers also appreciate our flexibility to support irregular construction schedules. Projects don’t stop at 5 p.m., and neither do we. Whether your crew needs cement for an early morning pour or a late-night emergency delivery, our self-service system remains operational.
The efficiency extends beyond loading times. Our maintenance schedule ensures maximum uptime. While other facilities struggle with production equipment downtime, our focus on material handling and storage keeps operations running consistently.
Streamlined Operations That Save You Time and Money
For companies managing multiple projects, we recognize that predictable cement supply chains directly impact profitability. Our system eliminates common variables that disrupt the flow of cement to your job sites.
Our rail-served terminal connects to nationwide networks, ensuring consistent material supply even during peak construction seasons. And our massive storage units create a buffer against supply chain disruptions, while our efficient ship unloading capability maintains stock levels.
This reliability translates to clear operational benefits for your company:
- Reduced driver wait times (no loading delays).
- Predictable delivery schedules (no equipment failures).
- Consistent material availability (no costly stock-outs).
When your drivers know they can count on fast loading and respectful service every time, your entire operation runs more smoothly. The next question is: what type of Portland Cement do you need for the job?
Portland Cement Options for Every Project
When purchasing large quantities of cement, having the correct type readily available is crucial. We stock both Gray Portland Type I/II and White Portland Type I cement in our dome storage system.
- Gray Portland Type I/II serves as the workhorse for most construction applications. It delivers high compressive strength and quick setting time, making it ideal for load-bearing structures and general concrete applications.
- White Portland Type I addresses specialized architectural needs where low color variability is crucial. This cement maintains the same strength and setting characteristics as gray cement while providing the consistent white color required for decorative work.
Both types flow through the same automated conveyance system. Backed by an industry-leading cement production process, we ensure consistent quality and eliminate contamination concerns that can occur at terminals handling multiple materials.
