Basic Concept.
Posted by John from Chicago, IL, US on January 5, 2007

Near what material a concrete plant (to manufacture cement) should be set up, considering the importance of that material?

The three most important factors: limestone; water, and fuel.

Many more lessor factors follow from labor costs/availability to transportation. However, the very most important overall factor: a market. If you meant a concrete plant as opposed to a cement manufacturing plant, then the answer would be: aggregates & cement source. Marketplace and location to that market remain important for any supply/service business...

Regards,

Robert
