Concrete

Lafarge Russia has started with its concrete activity in 2011 with a mobile concrete plant to support the construction of the new Lafarge Cement Plant in Kaluga.

Concrete is a building material made by mixing water, aggregates and sand with a binding agent (usually cement) and, if necessary, with additives. This mixture is made on building sites and factories.

 

The characteristics of a concrete can vary greatly depending on the choice of cement and cement-aggregate ratio, the type of aggregate used, the inclusion of additives, etc So concrete is reconstituted stone and is sometimes referred to as "liquid stone".
