When it comes to building materials, quality, safety, and sustainability are crucial. Cement is the heart of concrete, and together with sand, aggregate, and other additives, it forms the basis of construction projects such as bridges, roads, and buildings. The properties of both cement and concrete affect both longevity and safety. That is why RISE offers testing and chemical analysis of both cement and concrete.
“We test both cement and concrete in detail to ensure that they perform optimally in various construction projects and meet performance and safety requirements. This involves everything from strength and chemical analyses to how the material develops over time,” says Katarina Malaga, Business Development Manager for Sustainable Construction at RISE.
At RISE laboratories, experts carry out analyses that test chemical composition, fresh properties, strength, durability, heat development, and crack formation. This makes it possible to identify and prevent risks, while ensuring that the materials meet requirements for strength and long service life.
From laboratory to field testing
"Field testing provides us with insights that laboratory tests cannot always provide. We can see how materials behave under real conditions – from weather exposure to stress – which is crucial for buildings and infrastructure to last over time," says Katarina Malaga.
Through careful testing and trialing, RISE is an important partner for construction companies, architects, and material manufacturers. The results reduce risks, prevent problems, and help make buildings and infrastructure both sustainable and safe.
“Our job is to ensure that cement and concrete meet all requirements for quality, performance, and safety. Being able to test and evaluate materials at all levels—from the laboratory to the field—is a fundamental part of our work,” says Katarina Malaga.
