Partnerships and collaborations

Since the launch of the Ductal® range of products, Lafarge has involved prestigious research centers and universities in increasing awareness and merging areas of competence with those of the LCR (Central Research Laboratory), the world's leading research center for construction materials.

Over the years, several institutions have participated in the development of Ductal® and numerous collaborations are well underway. Below is a partial list:

 

NORTH AMERICA

 

 

 

  • Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech)
    http://www.vt.edu

 


 

EUROPE

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In addition to their scientific advances, these universities have developed detailed, specific knowledge of the material among their students and partners, and adapted this knowledge in order to meet the requirements of local building regulations.

 
This important network, that has been established for more than 15 years, has positioned Ductal® at the cutting edge and made it the driving force behind the development of this exceptional technology.
