Our commitment to innovation shows in many ways, including our dedicated Research & Development department, C-lab®. Indeed, we believe innovation is built on constantly questioning ourselves and our industry. By doing so, we aim to remain a company in motion. Consequently, we offer customers more effective and sustainable solutions.
C-lab®
C-lab® is based in Gothenburg, Sweden, and is Thomas Concrete Group’s accredited center for testing and research. Notably, we are one of a few global concrete suppliers with our own research facility. During 2023, 5,918 accredited testing assignments were conducted according to standards.
To meet increased testing demand, we expanded our premises with a new freeze-thaw testing room. Additionally, we received accreditation for testing alkali-reactivity of aggregates. C-lab® is SWEDAC accredited in several testing methods. Furthermore, we can also offer testing and sampling at construction sites.
C-lab® is SWEDAC accredited in testing fresh and hardened concrete, aggregate, and binders. Additionally, we also offer site testing. Indeed, experience shows modern concrete has outstanding potential.
Consequently, C-lab® helps unlock this potential by providing specialist knowledge and advice. We optimize concrete use and prevent construction problems. Furthermore, we offer testing, assessment, damage investigation, and education on concrete and its application.
Collaborations
We focus on concrete in fresh and hardened states and its materials, collaborating with customers and suppliers.
Moreover, we work closely with academic and industry institutions, including Chalmers University of Technology and the Swedish Cement and Concrete Institute.
