Siam City Cement (Lanka) Ltd has officially entered into a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Southern Province Chief Secretary.

The MoU was signed by Siam City Cement Lanka CEO Thusith Gunawarnasuriya and Southern Province Chief Secretary Chandima C. Muhandiramge, under the patronage of Governor Prof. Susiripala Manawadu, in the presence of many distinguished government officials.

The event was held at Radisson Blu Hotel, Galle, with the participation of engineers and technical officers from government institutions, including local government bodies, the PRDA, Building Department and Irrigation Department. 

This underscored the importance of strong public-private collaboration to elevate industry standards and empower technical professionals with the latest knowledge in the Southern province.

This initiative will be delivered as a series of three continuous training programmes in the coming months, aimed at upskilling engineers and technical officers across the province. The sessions will cover key areas such as SLS 573, quality control, construction management, waterproofing, durable concrete and concrete mix-design optimisation.

Together, they are shaping a more knowledgeable and resilient construction industry for the future.
