One of the specialized fields within our materials laboratories is petrography, a scientific technique employing microscopy to observe the mineralogical and chemical characteristics of concrete and minerals. Leveraging cutting-edge tools such as optical microscopes and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), our experienced petrographers obtain a detailed view of the microstructure of materials. Petrographic examination of concrete yields valuable descriptive information, encompassing crucial aspects such as the degree of cement hydration, estimation of water-cement ratio, extent of paste carbonation, evidence of alkali-aggregate reaction, sulfate attack, and other chemical reactions.
