The investment has meant that the company has doubled its customer trials.
New Lab Facility to Boost Concrete Testing
The secure laboratory has a dedicated office. The lab tests admixtures to assess their effects on concrete properties. The new full concrete testing lab is 100m², including two mixing bays, a wet production area, and a clean area for new production. There is also space for onsite customer training.
A Focus on Sustainability and Innovation
Oscrete’s technical and development manager, Dean Clarke, said: “In addition to evaluating our admixtures, the lab also plays a key role in evaluating cements and additives that help reduce the carbon footprint. The facility is central to our ongoing research and development efforts, driving innovation in new admixtures products.”
Increased Trials and Capacity for Growth
“Since the lab completed at the start of 2025, we have already doubled the number of trials completed in the same period last year, and we now have capacity to double this again as we continue to meet customer demand for bespoke and specialist projects.”
