Products

Cement

Some properties of cement-based products are:

• Hydraulic: The hydration reaction between cement and water is unique: the material will set and then harden. Interestingly, the hydraulic nature of the reaction allows hydrated cement to harden even under water.
• Aesthetic: Prior to setting and hardening, hydrated cement exhibits plastic behavior. Therefore, it can be cast into molds of different shapes and forms, and can generate aesthetically interesting architectures difficult to achieve with other construction materials.
• Durable: When properly used (e.g., good concrete mix design practices), cement can yield structures which have a long service life that withstand extreme changes in weather conditions and chemical attack.
• Acoustic: Cement–based material can provide excellent noise insulation with the appropriate design.

Aggregates

Our customers use our aggregates for a wide array of applications:

• As a key component in the construction and maintenance of highways, walkways, parking lots, airport runways, and railways
• For drainage, water filtration, purification, and erosion control
• As fill material
• For sand traps on golf courses, beaches, playing field surfaces, horse racing tracks, and related applications
• To build bridges, homes, and schools
