Mix design<br />
It is essential that soil conditions are evaluated<br />
and all materials are tested <strong>in</strong> order to determ<strong>in</strong>e<br />
the appropriate stabilisation agent to achieve<br />
the specified properties of the stabilised road<br />
e.g. ITS and UCS.<br />
Evaluation of soil<br />
Our Quality Department <strong>South</strong>ern <strong>Africa</strong> (QDSA)<br />
has a fully-fledged soil laboratory where customer<br />
soil evaluations are conducted.<br />
Site <strong>in</strong>spection<br />
Before any order is executed, whether of bulk<br />
or bagged product, <strong>Lafarge</strong> will carry out a site<br />
<strong>in</strong>spection to ensure the delivery and offload<strong>in</strong>g<br />
can be done safely.<br />
Delivery options<br />
Our delivery service aims to meet the needs of<br />

• RoadCem is delivered by bulk tanker with<br />
the option of a spread<strong>in</strong>g service, or <strong>in</strong><br />
palletised loads of 50kg bags<br />
• Buildcrete is delivered <strong>in</strong> palletised loads<br />
of 50kg bags<br />

Buildcrete is also delivered by bulk tanker<br />

Load <strong>in</strong>tegrity of BULK deliveries<br />
A vitally important aspect of bulk deliveries is ensur<strong>in</strong>g the <strong>in</strong>tegrity of the<br />
load when it is handed over at the delivery po<strong>in</strong>t. We address this <strong>in</strong> two<br />
ways that re<strong>in</strong>force each other:<br />
• Bulk Tanker Seal<br />
Each load is sealed with a white seal bear<strong>in</strong>g a unique trac<strong>in</strong>g<br />
number that appears on the delivery note. The delivery note<br />
states comprehensive details of the order and product identity.<br />
• Bulk Product Identification Tag<br />
For easy identification of your <strong>Lafarge</strong> bulk cement delivery we have a<br />
system that requires all discharge valves on our road tankers to carry<br />
a colour coded and descriptive Product Identification Tag.<br />
Our Tags will allow the road construction<br />
contractor’s personnel to quickly and<br />
easily reassure themselves that they have<br />
the correct product for that section of<br />
road.<br />
CEM IV/B-V 32,5R<br />
General Purpose Cement<br />
Please note:<br />
The <strong>Lafarge</strong> Product Identification Tags are <strong>in</strong>tended to help customers<br />
conveniently and efficiently handle bulk tankers on site. The tags do not<br />
represent a product guarantee. A secure, unbroken white Bulk Tanker Seal<br />
is the guarantee of the <strong>in</strong>tegrity of the load.<br />
