CPCC's History 

Colton Cement Plant - circa 1914 

California Portland Cement is the oldest continually producing portland cement company west of the 

Rocky Mountains. For over half a century the company consisted of a corporate office in Los Angeles 

and the "Works at Colton." Mt. Slover provided the source of limestone for Colton Cement. 

During the second half century, new names and new products became associated with the company. 

Arizona Portland Cement, produced at Rillito, Arizona and Mojave Portland Cement, produced at Creal, 

California joined the labels marketed by the California Portland Cement Company. The products 

changed also with the production of plastic and gun plastic cement, among others. 

Changes also took place in the corporate structure with an increase in available stock, membership in 

the American Stock Exchange, a merger with Conrock Co., and the reemergence of California Portland 

Cement as part of the Taiheiyo (Onoda) Cement family. 

The road from 1891 to the present has not always been smooth and level for California Portland 

Cement. There were plenty of rough places and unexpected dips and turns, but through it all the 

company has endeavored to maintain "Quality Unsurpassed." 

Our sales professionals are experts in matching our cements to your needs and strive to make every 

client relationship mutually beneficial. 

From its early years, CPCC has remained a leader in the industry through it's commitment to quality 
Building a Second Century of Value 

and customer service. Our reputation for coordinating product transportation and ensuring on-time 

delivery service is considered by many to be the finest in the industry. California Portland Cement 

Company's laboratories and technical staff also provide a variety of services to our customers. These 

services are another expression of our commitment to a second century of Quality Unsurpassed.

Corporations, by their very nature, often have a longer life span than people. It is people, however, who 

provide the life blood of any corporation. That has certainly been the case with California Portland Cement 

Company. It has been the people at all levels, working to maintain the Company's slogan - "Quality 

Unsurpassed Since 1891" throughout our years in business. A remarkable number of our employees 

spend thirty years or more with the company. 

These are our Executives, people who have worked their way up through the ranks, to work together to lead 

and enrich California Portland Cement Company with their knowledge and expertise, as we move ahead 

into the future.

Arizona's Twin Peaks orovide the source of limestone for the Arizona Portland Cement Company. Located . . 18 miles northwest of the'modern city of Tucson, they include rock 

which was formed more than 600 million years ago. 

When the company first began working these deposits, there 

was a long ridge extending approximately 2000 feet from the east, 

hill. Mining the minerals has changed this from a ridge to a pit, the 

floor of which is nearly 200 feet below the surrounding land surface. . ... ..:. 

The "twins" witnessed the coming of the Indians, the exploration 

and settlement of the Spaniards and the subsequent conflicts, which 

were to continue as citizens of the United States pushed ever farther 

Westward. In 1776 Tucson was established as a Spanish fort to 

provide protection from the Indians, who were much more hostile than those found in California. Unlike 

California and the rest of Arizona, this territory did not become part of the United States as a result of the 

Mexican War in 1846. It was obtained as part of the Gadsden Purchase in 1853. 

The twin peaks maintained a silent vigil over the landscape as human 

struggles went on around them and the forces of erosion worked on their surface. 

Although the men of California Portland Cement Company had been interested in 

an Arizona operation as early as the 1920's - it was not until the late 1940's that 

CPC men met this mountain with the full force of their knowledge, experience. 

Even then the forces of nature had to be taken into consideration. The cement 

plant was located about five miles from the deposit, due to the unpredictable 

nature of the Santa Cruz River. It would have been less expensive to locate the 

plant adjacent to the deposit, but it would also have required taking a chance that 

you would be cut off from the rest of the work, if the river washed out the access 

road. 

Modernization and expansion of the plant between 1970 and 1972 included 

the installation of a covered conveyor belt 30 wide and just under four miles 

long, which took the rock from a crusher at the quarry along the side of the roa 

and into the plant. Nature, however, finally played a cruel trick on the compan 

planners. Rather than destroying the road from the quarry to the plant, it floode 
Building a Second Century of Value 

the plant itself in 1978. 

Over forty years passed between the time 

CPC employees inspected the Rillito site in 

1934, and the completion of APC's precalciner 

on No. 4 kiln. In the intervening years the 

plant changed from a single stack reaching 

into the sky in 1949 to today's modern cement 

facility.

Arizona's increased cement consumption after World War I1 allowed California Portland Cement Company, the oldest 

cement company west of the Mississippi, to plan the construction of a new cement plant between Phoenix and Tucson. The 

Economic evaluation of a large limestone deposit northwest of Tucson led to a plant site at the town of Rillito. The railroad 

and a paved highway already went through the town, so the company built the plant there. The rock would have to be

hauled across the Santa Cruz River from the quarry four miles south. Construction began in 1948 and the first cement was 

produced in December 1949. The new plant consisted of a long dry kiln (purchased used), with two raw mills, two finish 

mills, and three cement storage silos. In the 1950's the plant added two more kilns, two raw mills, four finish mills, and 

twenty cement silos. 

Constmction of a major plant expansion began in 1970. The new equipment came on line in 1972 and included a stateof-the art preheater kiln, a new crusher, raw mill, and rock stacker1 reclaimer building. An overland belt conveyor, the 

longest conveyor of its type in the world when built, carries the rock from the quarry to the plant. The D3 finish mill came 

on line in 1974 and in 1987 a new hydraulic roll press and a high efficiency separator were installed on the mill. 

Arizona Portland converted the preheater to a precalciner in 1985. In 1990-92, equipment upgrades continued. During 

this time, Arizona Portland modernized all the preheater cyclone vessels, improved the calciner, installed an indirect coal 

firing system, and brought a new computer control system on line. 

Arizona Portland continues searching for ways to manufacture cement more efficiently. Equipment upgrades and 

improvements now in the planning stage will provide the high quality cement Arizona needs as we enter the new century.

Everything starts in the quarry; almost all the cement raw materials come from here. The quarry is an open pit mining 

operation. It has the same drill, blast, and muck sequence as the large copper mines. Nine inch holes are drilled on eighteen 

foot centers. Prior to shooting, each hole is sampled and surveyed for quality control. Blasting agents are then loaded in 

each hole. Non-electric delays limit the blast to one hole at a time in order to improve fragmentation and reduce ground 

vibrations. Front end loaders dig the shot rock and load the trucks. The loaders provide a lot of blending capability because 

they can easily move along the rock faces selecting various grades of limestone and shale. Other materials required for the 

cement chemistry, such as iron or alumina, are also added at the quarry face. 85 to 100 ton capacity trucks haul the ore to 

the rotav impact crusher. 

The crushing plant takes boulders as large as five feet in diameter and tums out a two and a half inch product size. A series 

of computer controlled vibrating feeders puts the rock on the overland belt conveyor system, transporting over 1,000 tons 

per hour to the cement plant four miles north. En route, the rock passes through a CrossBelt PGNAA analyzer which 

transmits the complete chemical analysis to the quany supervisor. 

IUW hlX1'EIZIAI,S - UI,ENI)ING AND ST01L4GE 

The overland belt conveyor delivers the rock to the Stacker/Reclaimer building. The stacker builds a 30,000 ton stockpile 

of layered rock. The reclairner then comes along and digs the pile in bands perpendicular to the stacker layers. The Rillito 

plant achieves a turn-down ratio of 10:1, comparing the standard deviation of the chemistry going in to that coming out of 
Building a Second Century of Value 

the pile. 

Page 4 of 6 

The blended reclaimed rock fills three blending silos. Three other blending silos contain an alumina source, an iron source, 

and a high or low grade limestone. The laboratory controls these six feeders to fine tune the quality control targets for eight 

different oxides. 

RAW FEX1:I) GKLKX) 

The raw mix is ground in a ball mill. Ball mills are large rotating drums protected with inside liners and about 35% filled 

with steel alloy balls. The D2 raw mill contains over 210 tons of balls. The grinding balls are sized from one and a half 

inches to three and a half inches. The mill can produce 200 tons per hour of raw mix powder, 80% of which will pass a 200 

mesh sieve. Hot air from the kiln system dries the water out of the raw mix. Continuously operating samplers extract 

representative samples for analysis by the lab. 

HLENI)ING SII.OS 

The raw mix is further blended in a specially designed homogenizing silo. Two additional silos, the kiln feed silos, receive 

the blended raw mix and store it for feed to the kiln system. Supplementaiy samples are taken as the raw mix leaves the 

kiln feed silos en route to the kiln.

raw mill dwarfs an operator. 

PUKO L'IROCESSXNG 

The kiln is the heart of the cement plant. The carefully prepared raw mix enters the kiln system at the 

top of the tower. The tower consists of a series of four cyclones. As the raw meal falls from one 

cyclone vessel to the next, the hot gas from the kiln causes the meal to get progressively hotter. It 

takes about one minute for the feed to go down the tower. During that time, it has been heated to about 

1600 degrees F and the calcium carbonate (CaC03) has been converted to lime (CaO). During the 

subsequent 25 minute journey down the kiln, the meal temperature exceeds 2700 degrees F. At that 

temperature another chemical reaction takes place producing calcium silicates and other cement 

minerals. 

These new minerals form clinker balls. About half the fuel required for this process is put in the 

calciner at the base of the tower. The other half goes in at the front of the kiln and produces a long hot 

flame visible from the kiln hood. The clinker balls fall out of the kiln into the cooler. The balls then 

form a bed of material on the top of perforated steel grates which slowly travel back and forth, pushing 

the clinker along. Seven cooler blowers pull in outside air and force it through the perforated grates and clinker bed. The 

outside air cools the clinker and is itself heated up. The hot air is then used in the kiln and calciner for combustion. The 

excess air required to cool the clinker, but not needed for combustion, goes through a fiber- glass fabric baghouse filter to 

remove the dust before going out the cooler stack. The gases from the tower go first through the raw mill to dry out the 
Building a Second Century of Value Page 5 of 6 

moisture in the raw mix. Then they are ducted to another fiberglass baghouse for environmental control prior to exiting out 

the stack at that end of the kiln system.

await unloading. 

tJALITY CONTROL 

Throughout the process, from the quarry blastholes, the crushed rock, the raw mills, the kiln feed, the clinker 

cooler, the cement mills, and finally the cement trucks, the laboratory receives samples and performs analyses 

to ensure proper quality control. The cement plant operates continuously 24 hours a day, seven days a week. 

Similarly, the laboratory is staffed around the clock. The modern cement plant requires smooth control in order 

to operate at its optimum level. As importantly, smooth operations allow Arizona Portland Cement to provide our 

customers with reliable, consistent cement. 

A distributed computer control system allows one supervisor to control the entire process from the Central 

Control Building. The system performs both analog and digital control. Digital control includes items such as 

motor starts and stops, interlocking, and alarming. Analog controls include instrumentation such as 

thermocouples or pressure taps and PID loops which automatically hold a process variable to a setpoint. The 

custom programming utilizes both the digital and the analog 110 for optimizing the process control and for 

alarms. Over 5000 110 points are monitored by the process control computer. Additionally, the Rillito plant has 

an expert system, or fuzzy logic, for even further automatic control. 

Manufacturing portland cement requires importing numerous materials to the plant. Coal, alumina, and iron 

materials normally arrive by rail while gypsum and some other materials may be trucked into Rillito. 

rigorously following all federal, state and county regulations, Arizona Portland 

Cement is a member of Climate Wise, a volunteer group of companies working with the 

United States Environmental Protection Agency to reduce greenhouse gases. Arizona 

Portland believes in recycling and waste minimization. 

By 1996, the Rillito plant achieved status as a conditionally exempt small quantity generator of hazardous 

waste, reducing hazardous waste generation by 99.5% 

Furthermore, Arizona Portland Cement has begun a program of recycling non-hazardous industrial 

byproducts which otherwise would go to a landfill. After careful testing and analysis, materials can be approved 

for use as raw materials at the cement plant replacing mined ores such as bauxite or clay. Other non-hazardous 

materials such as used tires or on-specification used oil can be recycled for their fuel value. Comprehensive 

testing has demonstrated that use of these fuels does not noticeably change the emissions characteristics of the

California Portland Cement Company has constructed a transfer terminal in the 

City of North Las Vegas, Nevada to service the greater Las Vegas area. The 

terminal mainly services the Clark County area that includes Las Vegas and 

surrounding cities. It has the potential to reach all of Southern Nevada as well 

as Southern Utah. Clark County, Nevada has been a CPCC market area for 

over 40 years, and the rate of growth has been extremely high for the past 

several years. Southern Nevada is currently one of the fastest growing areas in 

the United States and is expected to continue this growth for the next 20 years. 

A new major highway and some large city development projects with 

associated infrastructures are already approved for construction within 15 miles 

of the terminal. Most of the cement for the Clark County market comes from Southern California. Most of the CPCC 

cement comes from the Mojave Plant that is about 200 miles from Las Vegas. Before construction of this terminal, 

delivery was sometimes impeded by the availability of trucks. The presence of the terminal now provides CPCC 

the opportunity to better service our customers and the general market. 

The terminal is located in the City of North Las Vegas on property owned by Pan 

Western Corporation, a trucking company. CPCC designed and constructed the 

terminal and operation began at the terminal in October 1999. Pan Western 

hauls the cement from the terminal to customer sites. CPCC currently leases 

about 150 rail cars to move product throughout its various facilities. A dedicated 

double rail spur at the terminal accommodates up to 30 loaded cars by simply 

feeding the cars from one spur to the other. The terminal is designed to off load 

100 tons rail cars at a rate of 200 tons per hour into three bolted steel silos using 

a meumatic convevor svstem. The three silos are identical in size and each 

have a cement capacity of 1,200 tbns. They are pahted*tan color to soften the visual impact on surrounding 

developments. The center silo can be discharged to either of two spouts and can be used for alternate products. 

The product is conveyed from the silo bin bottoms to the loading spouts by airslides and then into trucks with 

capacities of up to 50 tons at a rate of 450 tons per hour. The 130 feet truck scale is actually split into two 65 feet 

scales that can work independently after the tare weight is taken. This allows both trailers to be loaded 

simultaneously. The arrangement is expected to minimize truck movement during filling and make filling as rapid 

as possible. 
Building a Second Century of Value Page 2 of 2 

The control building is a single story concrete block building. The building consists of a motor control center room, 

an operator control panel, the manager's office, an equipment room, and a rest room. The operator has a camera 

to view each of the loading spouts. The control building is located between the silos and the railroad tracks. The 

terminal can be expanded in the future as growth and conditions require.

Catalina Pacific Concrete doesn't manufacture cement, it delivers concrete. Ready 

mix trucks leave 6 sites throughout the Los Angeles Region, and 3 sites in the 

Orange County Region, of Southern California on their daily delivery routes. They 

represent the youngest branch of the California Portland Cement family. 

Catalina Pacific Concrete works closely with its customers and engineers from 

*commercial testing laboratories to meet the specific needs of each phase of $2 ':construction projects. Concrete is tested at the job site by inspectors to assure the 

'Icorrect slump has been achieved. Strength test results are compared with the design 

strength, and the mix design for the concrete 'is modified as necessary. fo help guarantee that strength requirements 

are met, Catalina Pacific uses a computer program to generate the correct mixture designs and batching proportions 

are automatically transferred to the computer used for dispatching ready mix deliveries. 

Satalina Pacific's commitment to quality concrete can be seen by a visit to its fullysquipped concrete laboratory. Test batches of concrete are prepared in the laboratory to 

svaluate new mix designs and to monitor the performance of cements, aggregates, and 

sdmixtures (additives). The laboratory staff includes technicians certified by the American 

Soncrete Institute and senior personnel who are certified Concrete Technologists, 

adhering to National Ready Mix Concrete Association standards. 

In addition to conducting quality control testing -. - on raw materials, the laboratory staff 

trol during concrete delivery, and the lab work closely with the batch plants to

Mobility is a way of life in California. So it's only fitting that when a new path needs to be cleared and paved, or 

an earthquake-damaged roadway requires an emergency repair or rebuilding, construction interests can 

mobilize in overdrive. 

Catalina Pacific Concrete, a subsidiary of California Portland Cement Co., has constructed a 200,000-ydlyear 

batch plant. Permitting and construction of this plant took only 12 months to complete. 

The need arose for this modern Batch Plant to come on line due to the major construction project of the 

Eastern Transportation Corridor - the 27 mile link in Orange County's rapidly unfolding toll road system. 

Ramps, foundations, bridges and other structures for the $700-million+ project will consume in excess of 

400,000 yards of concrete - and require about 60 million yards of earthwork through December 1999. 

Catalina Pacificllwine Lake Batch Plant sits on four acres in the valley near lwine 

Lake in Orange County. It's fleet consists of 80 rear discharge mixers. This is 

California's first central mix batch plant built to revised seismic standards. The state 

rewrote building codes following the October 1989 Loma Prieta and January 1994 

Northridge earthquakes. 

Previous codes had reflected design 

recommendations for structures built in an 

area with a seismic Zone 4 rating, designated 

by the Uniform Building Code and National 

Earthquake Hazard Reduction Program 

Tightened post-1994 standards resulted in an 

approximate doubling of the amount of extra 

steel required to build a plant to code. To 

meet California's tougher standards, the lrvine 

Lake structure is built with about 60 percent more material than would be 

required elsewhere. Concentrations of additional steel and cross bracing 

are greatest below the silos and aggregate bins. In addition to increased

above-grade provisions, the batch plant was built with a hefty foundation 

that consumed nearly 300 years of material, which was hauled from Catalina Pacific's lrvine Batch Plant which 

is located about 12 miles away from lrvine Lake. Reinforcement volume and base plate sizing prompted 

placing crews to compare the batch plant foundation to one for a 10-12 story building.
