Europe, Netherlands, Zuid Limburg, Maastricht, Sint Pietersberg, ENCI cement factory, clinker storage building (uncut)
The ENCI cement factory at the edge of the limestone quarry. It produces klinker (clinker) and portland cement. Clinker is semi-finished cement produced by “heating limestone (calcium carbonate) with small quantities of other materials (such as clay) to 1450 °C in a kiln, in a process known as calcination”. Cement, the finished product, “is made by grounding the clinker with a small amount of gypsum into a powder to make 'Ordinary Portland Cement', the most commonly used type of cement (often referred to as OPC). Portland cement is a basic ingredient of concrete, mortar and most non-specialty grout. Portland cement may be grey or white.
The most common use for Portland cement is in the production of concrete. Concrete is a composite material consisting of aggregate (gravel and sand), cement, and water. As a construction material, concrete can be cast in almost any shape desired, and once hardened, can become a structural (load bearing) element.” (Source: Wikipedia). Through this it became the building material of choice of modernist architects. And in this era it still is.
The lime ENCI stone quarry will be closed in 2018 and as a consequence the klinker production will be stopped some time after it and the kiln etc will demolished. After that the quarry and demolished part of the industrial complex will be redeveloped. The quarry will become a park. For in-depth information about the transformation process the master plan (Dutch) is: here.
A preliminary step of this redevelopment process was already taken in 2008. The ‘Peutz-building’, an industrial building that lost its function when a part of the manufacturing process was moved to Rotterdam in the 80s was redeveloped as theatre and cultural centre AINSI in 2008. A clip about it from this period is: here and a recent one here
The facilities on display in the FG is the central clinker storage facility. In the BG is the other side of the valley of the river Maas.

Former Shaker storage building believed to be the last surviving Shaker chair factory in America. Originally part of the Shaker Second Family settlement, currently part of the The Ruins at Sassafras, an event venue and museum. New Lebanon, New York.
This abandoned workshop had existed in Anshan, Liaoning Province, Northeast China. The area used to be the most important heavy industry base of the country. Since late 1990s, a huge number of state-owned factories were going bankrupt one bye one due to global structural changes.
The photo was taken in February 2004 and the workshop was knocked down in 2005.

A butte is a conspicuous isolated hill with steep, often vertical sides and a small, relatively flat top; it is smaller than mesas, plateaus, and tables. In some regions, such as the north central and northwestern United States, the word is used for any hill. The word "butte" comes from a French word meaning "small hill"; its use is prevalent in the western United States, including the southwest, where "mesa" is also used. Because of their distinctive shapes, buttes are frequently key landmarks in both plains and mountainous areas.
In differentiating mesas and buttes, geographers use the rule that a mesa has a top wider than its height, while a butte's top is narrower.[1]
Three classic buttes are Scotts Bluff (actually a collection of five bluffs) in Nebraska, Crested Butte in Colorado, and Elephant Butte in New Mexico.
Among the well-known non-flat-topped buttes in the United States are Bear Butte, South Dakota, and Black Butte, Oregon. In many cases, buttes have been given other names that do not use the word "butte", for example, Courthouse Rock, Nebraska.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Factory Butte (left) and North Caineville Mesa (right) stand tall above the Blue Plains, indicating that 1440 feet of sediments once covered this area to the height of these remnants.
July 1964 Luton, Beds registered Vauxhall HA Viva 1100 Deluxe BXD696B looking fantastic at the Harpenden Classics on the Common event earlier this week.
I'm not sure whether this one was ever a press or demonstrator car, but the local to factory 'XD' registration makes it a very special motor car in my book.
We got rousted by the night watchman for tresspassing while I took this shot. We stalled him and asked stupid questions so that the exposure could finish. Oshkosh, WI. View it large!
Decaying abandoned factory near the North Dock in Llanelli. Used to be the Pontrilas factory, somewhere where people earned a living, worked, made money, supported their families, gained self respect, today its decaying, falling apart, unemployed......I like the over saturated high contrast look for photos featuring decay....... I seem to be obsessed with decaying buildings recently.......cant get over the rotting wood, peeling paint and forgotten, dormant......... or how can I put it...... there's a sense of waiting, as if the buildings are waiting???......
Factory Butte, a dramatic feature just outside Hanksville in Utah, is seen here reflected in a stock pond shortly after sunrise on October 5th, 2022. This is an infra-red image.
