The top provider for bulk cement in Luzon, Republic Cement, recently unveiled the first Fast Laboratory On Wheels (FLOW), a mobile laboratory that provides technical support to construction and building companies, to show solidarity and support for the current administration’s rapid infrastructure development program, “Build, Build, Build.”
FLOW is a mini-truck equipped with a pull-canopy that’s been converted into a laboratory. It comes furnished with equipment and apparatuses that can handle complex solution testing activities such as concrete, aggregate and cement testing, which are often integral components for construction.
“The growing demand for quality construction solution is a primary motivation for Republic Cement’s move to establish its first mobile laboratory,” said Republic Cement president and CEO Nabil Francis.
Nabil cited the mobile laboratory’s capacity to “help industry players achieve technical advantage.”
FLOW is also the first mobile construction solutions laboratory in the country that can be transformed into a demo area where technical training may be conducted. It can be mobilized quickly to a specific site providing them analysis within hours.
The mini-trucks were made to reduce production cost, increase profit and consistently produce high quality products, as well.
“We are keen on providing fast and superior technical support for the country’s construction and building industry players,” the CEO says. “We are here to help deliver and support our partners’ quality and competency objectives, as we embrace the highest standards in building stronger structures.”
Starting June, FLOW will be deployed in the greater Metro Manila area and fast-growing regions in Luzon such as CALABARZON and Central Luzon, to serve the testing needs of ready-mix producers, contractors and dry mortar manufacturers.
“This is really about Republic Cement doing our part to ensure that the infrastructure boom in the country is met with high quality construction materials. We look forward to working with our partners to help build a stronger Republic,” Nabil concludes.
The individuals behind the “Build, Build, Build” program were also among those who were recognized by PeopleAsia in the 2019 “People of the Year” awards.
