CESCO’s CEO Martino Celeghini Speaks on the Advantages of Steel Structures for Mill and Process Buildings at IAOM MEA 2024 Conference in Dubai
Dubai, UAE — On November 13, 2024, Martino Celeghini, CEO of CESCO Group, presented at the IAOM MEA 2024 conference in Dubai, sharing expert insights on the growing role of steel structures in mill and process buildings. In his speech, titled “Steel Structures for Mill and Process Buildings,” Mr. Celeghini discussed how steel is emerging as a preferred material in the agriculture and food sectors, particularly for its benefits in terms of speed, durability, and cost-efficiency compared to traditional concrete structures.
“Steel structures offer exceptional flexibility, durability, and adaptability,” Mr. Celeghini noted, “which are essential for the dynamic needs of milling and processing facilities. From structural resilience and seismic load resistance to efficient construction timelines, steel provides distinct advantages.”
During his presentation, Mr. Celeghini covered the technical and economic aspects that make steel an ideal choice for mill buildings, including design flexibility, maintenance efficiency, and improved seismic load resistance. He highlighted CESCO’s proprietary innovations, such as their use of high-yield structural steels, advanced corrosion protection, and specialized designs for hygiene and ease of maintenance, which are critical in food processing environments.
CESCO’s innovative square and round silos, designed to optimize storage space, facilitate easy maintenance, and minimize dust and contaminant buildup, were a focal point of Mr. Celeghini’s address. Additionally, he showcased recent project references, including the ongoing steel mill building erection in Cameroon, underlining CESCO’s global impact in the field.
