The Manufacturing Process

Lafarge mines and extracts stone, sand and gravel. Lafarge’s geologists direct mining to prime areas of natural deposit, which provide customers with the quality of stone required. Stone is crushed to sizes desired by the market, washed and loaded for transportation. Specialty products, such as chemical and industrial stone are also produced and sold to the steel and lime industries and are subject to very precise physical and chemical requirements. Aggregates are blended with cement, chemical admixtures and water to produce ready-mixed concrete. Aggregates are dried and blended with liquid asphalt cement and admixtures to produce asphalt.
