APEB Launches Concrete Testing Laboratory in Algarve
The Portuguese Association of Ready-Mixed Concrete Companies (APEB) has inaugurated a new concrete testing laboratory in Estoi, Faro, Algarve. This facility aims to address the shortage of quality testing spaces in the southern region of Portugal.
Enhancing Safety and Sustainability
The laboratory is equipped to conduct compression resistance tests on concrete, which is essential for ensuring the safety and sustainability of construction projects. This initiative aligns with Decree-Law 90/2021, which mandates the verification of concrete resistance in all construction works.
Commitment to Quality
Jorge Reis, General Director of APEB, emphasized: “The investment in this new laboratory in Algarve demonstrates APEB's commitment not only to its members and clients but also to compliance with Decree-Law 90/2021. By facilitating access to accredited concrete testing, we are actively contributing to the construction of safer and more sustainable infrastructures in the south of the country.”
Supporting Regional Growth
The laboratory features certified and calibrated equipment, including a saturated chamber for curing concrete samples, as per current standards. This development is expected to boost the construction industry in Algarve, enhancing the region's responsiveness to industry needs.
