Projects using Concrete

Expansion of the Bibliotheque Nationale
Lafarge supplied the concrete for the impressive expansion of Montreal's Bibliotheque Nationale. The new 33,000 m² (108, 000 f²) addition allows the library to expand its collection of books and other documents, as well as improve public access.

US Federal Reserve Bank Vault
The bank's vault is six stories high and approximately 150 ft long x 60 ft wide. The floors and walls are heavily reinforced and are 24 in thick. Agilia® concrete was chosen for this job to handle the shrinkage limit and heat of hydration due to the large mass of the walls.

Albuquerque Balloon Museum
Opened in October, 2005, the Albuquerque Balloon Museum is a 59,000 square feet facility dedicated to the history, science and art of ballooning. The museum used Lafarge's Agilia in its construction.

Featured Project

Agilia Lends Heritage Charm to a Modern Renovation
Lafarge was asked to suggest a product that could be poured by hand, leave no voids between the forms and the I-beams and require no vibration. An important consideration for this project was that the Agilia had the capability of flowing into the subtle nuances of wood grain.
