Services
Portland Cement Production
We produce Type I/II Portland Cement meeting ASTM standards for construction applications requiring moderate sulfate resistance. Our rotary kilns operate at temperatures exceeding 3,000F to create durable clinker. The final product bonds aggregates for concrete structures in residential, commercial, and infrastructure projects.
Blended Cement Manufacturing
Our Type IP (HS) Portland-Pozzolan Cement contains 25% pozzolanic materials for enhanced sulfate resistance. This blended cement reduces heat of hydration in large pours while lowering carbon emissions through decreased clinker content. Ideal for aggressive chemical environments and mass concrete applications.
Sulfate-Resistant Concrete
Class N Natural Pozzolan improves concrete durability in sulfate-rich environments. This ASTM C618-compliant material reduces permeability and mitigates alkali-silica reaction. Our sulfate-resistant solutions extend structural lifespan in challenging soil and groundwater conditions.
Quality Control Testing
Our AASHTO-accredited laboratory conducts 24/7 chemical analysis using X-ray fluorescence spectrometry. We perform physical and chemical tests conforming to ASTM standards. The Phoenix Fusion machine ensures accurate material analysis for consistent cement quality.
Regional Cement Delivery
We distribute bulk and packaged cement through terminals in Redwood City, Stockton, and Sacramento. Our strategic locations support efficient delivery across Nevada and California. The Fernley facility handles 500,000 annual tons of cement shipments for large-scale construction projects.
Questions
