laboratory Petra Pavaje, part of Florea Grup

Petra Pavaje factories operate as open research and innovation hubs. In this process, each factory holds a own laboratory analysis and testing. The process creator The development of new products is based on accurate tests done with state-of-the-art equipment and under the authorization  State Construction Inspectorate,.

The role of the laboratory

  • ensuring guarantee and performance consistency Petra Paving products
  • Development new products
  • Testing SUSTAINABILITY precast concrete products
  • Implementing and testing new solutions for surface protection
  • Analyze raw materials which is part of the composition of precast concrete products
  • Study of mixes and recipes for Petra Pavaje products

The quality of Petra Pavaje products is strengthened thanks to the increased interest in continuous improvement. This is achieved by studying various variables such as raw materials ensuring the durability of precast concrete products used, optimizing the recipe of each product and processing parameters, storage method, traffic volume or age of the pavement. By analyzing these factors, products are developed that best meet needs, so that customers can enjoy the pavements in the long term, and their appearance remains as attractive as possible over time.

Did you know that…

  • Petra Pavaje Laboratory also addresses external customers, providing them with the experience, impartiality and guaranteed quality of top services for checking the quality of construction materials
  • The Petra Pavaje Laboratory is among the only construction laboratories in the country and abroad that perform splitting/bending tensile tests of precast concrete products permanently in wet environment, that is, in the most devaforable condition. This ensures a significantly higher resistance of the elements, compared to those of other manufacturers.
  • The tests in the Petra Pavaje laboratory are performed in all stages of development of a product: the raw material, the product freshly removed from the production line, and the product that has a certain age are analyzed.
  • For all Petra Pavaje products, it is ensured traceability throughout the entire production flowIn other words, for each paving stone produced, it is possible to accurately identify the batch of raw materials that went into its composition.
