Company Announcement: Sika Invests in New Concrete Laboratory in Gauteng
This article has been supplied.
In spite of South Africa’s ever-volatile economy, Sika has confidently decided to expand its service offering in a way that few companies can. After doubling production and warehouse space at its Head Office in 2009, Sika is proud to announce the opening of its new Concrete Laboratory Facility in Gauteng. Sika’s Concrete Business Unit will utilise this facility to further increase their core business, given the increase in demand for Sika concrete admixtures in the Gauteng area. Sika is improving its service in this region by offering high quality technical support, backed by relevant concrete technologists within the Gauteng area. This will optimise concrete mixes for semi dry pavers, wet cast precasters, RMC producers (Ready mix concrete), and testing of Shotcrete materials used in tunnelling and Mining.
In the main concrete laboratory, mixes are designed and tested to determine where they can be adjusted for optimisation. The Sika concrete admixtures can improve water reduction, allowing for further reduction of cementitious binder contents, while still maintaining concrete workability with similar or improved strength development. Fully functional, with brand new equipment installed and skilled technologists on hand, Sika’s concrete lab is ready for business. This extra laboratory adds to Sika’s resources, meaning tests can be conducted more efficiently and customers are offered value added service.
