Not so concrete
![An excavator demolishes Sampyo’s ready-mixed concrete plant in Seongsu-dong, eastern Seoul, on Tuesday, ending its 46-year history. The production site, which covers a 4,600-square-meter (49,500-square-foot) area, the largest single production site in Asia, was once considered as the key contributor to the so-called Han River miracle. The mixed cement supplied from the plant was used in major development projects in Seoul including Gangnam. The cement was used not only in building the apartments along the Han River but also in infrastructure such as roads and bridges.
