Holcim GO4ZERO Project

Construction of Holcim's new cement plant
Franki Foundations is the piling contractor on this site, placing Omega piles at depths ranging from 14 to 32 meters.

A major step towards a sustainable future

This visionary initiative marks a bold step towards sustainability, with a state-of-the-art cement plant designed to decarbonize operations. In its first phase, the project will reduce its CO₂ emissions by at least 30% and will achieve net-zero by 2029 through comprehensive carbon capture and storage.

Franki Foundations installed more than 1,000 piles, accounting for more than 30 km, and reduced concrete consumption by 50% thanks to optimised engineering.
