Providing Concrete Answers to Customer Queries

Laboratory Facilities

The Research and Development Laboratory is an important in-house resource helping to optimise the cement production process.  Research into raw meal burnability, clinker mineralogy and cement calorimetry have helped to improve the quality and performance of our cements.

Our laboratory also provides technical support to our customers using optical microscopy, thermogravimetric and calorimetric analyses as well as a range of chemical and physical tests to analyse mortars, concretes and other materials. The results provide our customers with new insights into the properties and strength development of concrete and can help resolve construction challenges.
