uction of Lorca

Cementos Portland Valderrivas donates quick-seting cement and FCC Construcción assesses the damages afecting the buildings.

Cementos Portland Valderrivas wishes to contribute to the process of rebuilding the city of Lorca (Murcia) following the ear-thquake last Wednesday. To that end, the cement company has offered regional and local authorities a shipment of quick-set-ting cement, which is ideal for emergency situations such as the one that has affec-ted this city in Murcia.

Ultraval quick-setting cement makes it possible for buildings to be used imme-diately making it particularly advantageous for reconstruction and catastrophe relief work where the emergency development of projects is of utmost importance.

This type of cement also withstands co-rrosion in salt-bearing soil. Ultraval, one of the most advanced products of Cemen-tos Portland Valderrivas, is the result of in-house innovation and development.

This quick-setting cement is being used to build the Basque high-speed railway network and in projects being executed by AENA since it combines a short setting time with high mechanical strength.
