BEIJING, Jan. 3, 2011 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- China Infrastructure Construction Corp. (OTC Bulletin Board: CHNC) ("CHNC" or the "Company"), a major U.S.-listed provider of ready-mix concrete headquartered in Beijing, today announced an update on the new concrete mixing tower at its Beijing Yizhuang batching station. Concrete production from the new tower, which was installed in April 2010 and began production in May 2010, made up 25.6% of total output for the Company's Beijing Yizhuang plant during the six months ended November 30, 2010. The total output of the station increased 10.3% year-over-year during the same six-month period.

Beijing Yizhuang Station, CHNC's first factory, was founded in January 2002 and originally had two sets of HZS 120 mixing towers. In order to increase its market competitiveness and meet increasing demand for concrete in the surrounding region, the Company purchased a new Betomix 3.0A mixing tower in April 2010 from Liebherr, one of the leading concrete mixer providers in China. The tower has a mixing capacity of 157 cubic yards per hour and is located on a roughly 3.6-acre parcel of land, which the Company leased in March 2010 and also uses to store raw materials.

Liebherr mixing towers are known for their long service life, high capacity, and easy operation and maintenance. Unlike the two existing towers at the Beijing Yizhuang station, the parts of the new machine are all connected by bolts rather than welded, which makes the equipment easy to move and install. The tower's steel foundation also eliminates the time and cost of pouring a concrete slab foundation prior to installation. If necessary, the new mixing tower can be allocated to another of the Company's stations and resume operations within 20 days.

Mr. Yang Rong, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of CHNC, commented: "The new mixing tower has been very successful in its first seven months of operation. We are excited to see such strong demand for concrete in Beijing, Xi'an, and our other relevant markets and believe that this tower will greatly improve our ability to meet customers' needs and will be followed by additional expansion in the near future."
