Agri-Gypsum

Each cement plant is equipped with fully functional and certified QC and QA laboratories supported by certified concrete laboratories in Richmond, BC, Exshaw, AB, and Seattle, WA. These are further supported by our Concrete Innovation Hub in Edmonton, which acts as a Centre for Excellence, and Innovation in Western Canada. The Hub is home to a team of highly specialized materials experts and engineers who conduct the testing and research critical to ensure that our quality remains the highest in Canada, whilst optimizing materials use and seizing opportunities to minimize climate impact. Students from across Alberta have access to the Hub as well, providing a unique environment for academic research and instruction.

The Hub is also certified by the Athena Sustainable Materials Institute via an Environmental Building Declaration - indicating that thanks to the use of sustainable materials in its construction, the building's construction and operation have reduced GHG impacts with the vast majority of its components available for recycling at end-of-life.
