Karatay Municipality, which has added significant value to
the district with its projects implemented in physical and infrastructure
areas, continues its efforts to minimize costs.
In 2021, Karatay Municipality inaugurated the new Asphalt
Plant and Asphalt Analysis Laboratory, aiming to provide the district with the
fastest, most economical, and quality-compliant production of essential items
such as interlocking pavers, curbstones, and concrete. Now, they have also
established a Concrete Elements Factory.
The facility, established to reduce costs and achieve
significant savings in interlocking pavers and curbstones, which are major
expenses in infrastructure works, has started production. The facility, built
on an area of 11,000 square meters, with 1,500 square meters of indoor space,
is designed as reinforced prefabricated concrete. Thanks to this facility,
Karatay Municipality is now producing interlocking pavers and curbstones on its
own, which were previously procured from the private sector.
In addition to interlocking pavers and curbstones, the
facility will also be able to produce lightweight concrete bricks, concrete
bricks, and partial ready-mix concrete. Moreover, this production will have
approximately a 20% price advantage compared to the market. The facility will
have an annual average production capacity of 300,000 square meters of concrete
pavers and an annual average production capacity of 325,000 meters of
curbstones.
