Cement
Cement is a building material made by grinding calcined limestone and clay to a fine powder. It acts as the binding agent when mixed with sand, gravel or crushed stone and water to make concrete.
Concrete
Concrete is one of the most widely-used building materials in the world. Concrete is typically transported to building sites freshly mixed and in a wet form. When set, concrete is a strong and durable building material.
Aggregates
Quarried materials (including gravel and sand) are the main component by volume of concrete, and are used in many other applications.
